How many people are not sure how much they spend on the lottery?
I'm not 21 yet, but studying games like Poker and Blackjack that can give the player a mathemetical edge are preferable than lottery games which don't offer an edge (at least most times). Right now U.S. online poker is stuck in limbo because Congress can't or won't create legislation while the good poker players around the world are making a good living playing online poker. Live poker is still going strong, but just not the same. The World Series of Poker started the other day and millions

Misprints
I think it would be extremely unlikely that a winning ticket would ever get printed as a loser. They have to stop the presses and intentionally insert those tickets into the run and no doubt they not only inspected (with close scrutiny) but also monitor. They also publish each time one gets cashed so the public can monitor the games progress. They also have all kinds of disclaimers concerning errors, omissions and typos, so it an accepted part of playing the game. Everyone loves JP game

RL's Digit Master Pro Big Game software download.
Frenchie, It is a good filter. I use Lotwin also which covers this. It's called Sum Of Digits (Roots) In MM: 1-1-1-1-1 is expected to hit every 3.3 draws or 30.6% 2-1-1-1 is expected every 1.9 draws or 51.6% 2-2-1 is expected every 9.2 draws or 10.9% Powerball is almost exactly the same odds.

How many people no longer play the MM Megaplier or PB Powerplay option?
Hi nsv314, It sounds like you would be happy to win the 250K, and as you stated, to have the chance to have a couple chances of winning or save the dollar for next time. That sounds very reasonable. I've been feeling good when I just put down my one dollar like I did today when I bought my MM ticket, can still feel like I'm in the game (try not to think of the enormous odds of winning and always hope for the best).

??Forking over EXTRA CASH when Jackpots SKYROCKET??
I like your train of thought. So many people get drawn into spending more and more just because the pot has risen to the occassion. What they're missing, though, is that the odds remain the same regardless of the amount because each newdraw is completely independent from the last. The whole deal with the most recent record-breaking jackpot should be viewed as a prime example of this also. Look at how many combinations were sold between each draw before a couple of tickets finally matched the

Which odds are better. Part 2.
Thanks Coin Toss, Using megaplier increases prize BUT doubles the cost. Back to square one as far as odds go. Example: (round numbers) 1000 scratchers = 240 to 1 chance of hitting $500k 10,000 lines ($2 per line w/megapier) = 390 to 1 chance of hitting $1 million 20,000 lines (without megaplier) = 195 to 1 of hitting $250k One $500k is distributed per 240,000 tickets printed. The grand total is 5 and I think they are fairly good at keeping one in circulation throughout the game. T
