I think the lottery is RiggedReply
As far as who wins has nothing to do with location. It's more like who can afford to play and who picks winning numbers or who gets the right quick pick with the right numbers. I see your state only has one pick 3 drawing. And a couple high stakes drawings. Hotlotto and powerball are tough to win. You could buy 100,000 dollars worth of tickets and still not win. Or you could buy just one ticket and join the list of winners. To me playing the lottery games is a challenge to see if i can win. I sp

Hoosier Lottery: Den of Thieves...Reply
Jim somehow I knew I would invoke the response you gave I'm not going to get into a battle of wits over this with you. If you have a problem with Indiana's lottery you need to lodge a complaint with the attorney general. Lobby or get a petition going. Hire an attorney and fight the state. You posted something about your pitfalls with Hoosier's lottery and I commented. I'm not trying to belittle anyone. Pa has RNG on their midday game people win every day. They even post the amount of winners. It

Psychic predictions (I am getting resultsReply
It is amazing how most of us share facts about our research, but some of us do nothing but lash out at others because they apparently don't LIKE what they are saying. This forum should have no room for that. It's a place to collect information related loosely to the topic of lotteries. That's why I come here. If I want to get religious dogma, I go to church. If I want financial advice, I see my accountant. If I don't know how to calculate the odds for the California SuperLOTTO, I come to the Lot

Missouri Lottery Ignites Controversy with Computerized DrawingsReply
Funny thing is, most states' midday drawings generate zero revenue, and are actually loss leaders.In Indiana, for example, the midday Pick-3 game makes only 5% of what the evening game brings in. The same figures hold true for their Daily-4 midday game vs. the evening game, so they're actually losing money on both of these midday draws, if you use the figures from their annual report.When a state changes its drawing format, they can safely add a midday drawing since the practice draws will essen

Where is Paymenow Ron?Reply
As a long time player of 6/49 yet new to pick 3 I found this thread somewhat childish. Its obvious that if one was winning on a regular basis that they would be elated to provide there winning numbers as it would prove to be a matter of bragging rather then a chore. Needless to say one could just post there winning numbers and leave it at that However in this case an actual scanning of the ticket and then upload would be required so we could see the date and actual numbers of the tickets. This i

My Mega MillionsReply
These are my picks for tonight MegaMillions drawing. I posted the first 10 in the prediction section and played the first 15(in green). I didn't spend the money to play all 52 lines, but I thought it might be interesting to compare 'what if'. Playing more lines is one way to increase your odds, but does the extra expense really make much of a difference? If it does then what are the best strategies to use when you play extra lines? For example, are you better off to play a few numbers in a
