Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
Why would they express the odds of winning? Since you mention it though and since you've worked in casinos for a long time what is the only table games bet that pays true odds?

Pure baloney. If playing a second ticket cuts the odds in half why stop with the second ticket, why not keep buying more tickets until you are pretty sure of a win. MM and PB odds can only be reduced by half if you play half of all the combinations.

The Florida Lotto odds is for one ticket. If you buy three of them, assuming the numbers are different, your odds of winning $3.2 million go up to about 1 in 7 million.

New Jersey couple wins $3 million lottery prize six months after winning $1 millionReply
That's not how probabilities are calculated at all. Just like MM PB, each game has winning tickets with specific probabilities to that game. For scratch-offs it's # of printed tickets containing that prize amount divided by total number of tickets. And since these two games are not dependent, the combined odds is just multiplying the odds of winning each of those prizes individually. For instance, the odds of someone winning both PB MM jackpot would be 1 in 292M*290M. Probabilit

There is a difference in that odds are supposed to be expressed as the ratio of [event A] to [event B], which is equivalent to probability being [event A]/([event A]+[event B]), where A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive. But in the lottery, people refer to odds in the same way as probability. So on this board, they are the same for all practical purposes. Your voodoo math and conspiracy theories are irrelevant to their distinction. For example, with the Colorado Lottery's $250,

New PA $30 ScratcherReply
Can't find a way to be certain, but looking at the jackpot chances, the recent $30 scratchers appear to have a ticket count between 4.8 and 5.4 million. Odds of a $3 million win on this one is listed as 1 in 1.6 million, which I'm assuming means a ticket run of 4.8 million. Another relatively recent $30 scratcher with 5 top prizes shows odds of 1 in 960 thousand, which also adds up to a ticket run of 4.8 million.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Cape - thanks for posting this. I was excited for a game with a lower top prize if the odds were better. Looks like they are making $1000 and $5000 prizes easier to win. But I'm disappointed at the 1:260k odds for the $500k prize. I was really hoping for something closer to 1:100,000 or better. I would have sacrificed the $200 prize tier for that.

Massachusetts man wins double $1 million Powerball lottery prizes in one drawingReply
What happened to this guy was a fluke... A lottery fluke as I call them. Lottery flukes happen more often that most players realize. How many times have you read about a big winner that a clerk sold him/her a ticket that the player didn't ask for or even want? I should have pointed out in my post above that the reason why I'm playing for a second place PB win and not a jackpot is this - the odds of matching the first 5 numbers are 1 in 11 million whereas to win a PB jackpot by matching
