Pennsylvania Lottery game development: Little left to chanceNews Story
Standing at the vending machine or counter display, it's hard to tell which instant lottery game is the hot ticket to buy. But to the Pennsylvania Lottery officials, every game in the display is considered hot or it wouldn't be there. Every one of the 50 to 54 instant lottery games introduced each year receives an abundance of forethought from how it looks, how it's played and how it will be received by players. We can't afford a so-so game, said Drew Svitko, the lottery's deputy execu

Texas: 8/1 - 8/31/2013Reply
Par for the course just when you think it won't happen it does. Two digits 5+ out twice in a row. Thought the 3 might draw but was looking at the 13 93 with an Even. Guess with 4 numbers 5+ out it raises the Odds of doing 2 twice in a row. This still keeps the numbers in 5 groups though. 1 - 327 2 - 194 3 - 86 6 - 5 7 - 0 Still looks like a chance for the 5 or 0 to draw and that would mean groups to stay at 5. Only thing that can drop them to 4 is for pair 86 with either 5 or 0

Mother and son share bittersweet lottery winNews Story
At his mom's urging, a Manning, South Carolina, man bought a lottery ticket on the anniversary of his father's death. Winning $150,000 was bittersweet. The winner declined to publicize his name but shared he will honor his late father by using the winnings to look after his mother. The aptly named $150 Grand ticket was purchased at the Corner Food Stop on S. Boundary St. in Manning for $5. As of August 19, one top prize of $150,000 remains in the $150 Grand game. Odds of winning the top

Pennsylvania $500 frenzyReply
And I had to go out of the area (Pottstown Giant) to get the $50. Otherwise haven't won anything in this area for about a weak. I see many problems: - Certain numbers do not win (always #051-054 on Frenzy for example) - Forced unevenness of the rolls (some randomization is natural but not the way we are seeing it) - Almost all face value winners now - Same bad rolls going to the same areas/stores - Odds listed seem like throwing darts and get worse even in the listings And it

New York Dream Team 8/1/13 - 8/31/13Reply
The 07 pair from the 077 result from 7/26 midday. The 03 pair from the 303 result from 8/10 midday. The 12 pair from the 212 result from 8/12 evening. If we use the remaining pairs from above, 07-03-12 and add a digit to each to reach sum 9, we would have this set: 072 (which you have listed long odds) 036 126 (this would be an interesting pick since it could be played with the digit 1 in position #1 as either 126 or 162. So if digit 1 shows in pos. #1 and the sum totals 9

Hello All, need some input regarding "Hot" numbers... Thanks LP members.Reply
Hello, I am refering to The Numbers , which you may play the front 2, front or back 3, or 4 digit. Using the lottery results link here on LP, I can review the stats and choose anywhere from the last 10 draws, all the way to the beginning which I beleive is 13 years for the LP system. The Numbers game actuall started in 1976. The thing is, what is Hot in the last 10 draws, compared to what is Hot in the past 100 draws or 1000 draws always changes. I truely beleive in the Law of avera

Your thoughts on Mega Millions Matrix Change?Reply
Let's face it, Mega Millions was getting its butt kicked by Powerball. They had to change something to boost sales. I'm at least glad they didn't just copy what PB did and instead tried something new. The way to boost sales in multi-state lotto games is to have huge jackpots. The way to have huge jackpots is to have it rollover a lot. The way to have it rollover a lot is to only have a small percentage chance of the jackpot being hit each draw during the normal non-frenzy stage of the r
