Which wheel has the better odds?Reply
Well, the first wheel you picked is literally set up like this... 1-2-3-4-5 6-7-8-9-10 and the second doesn't even guarantee a prize. I wouldn't suggest putting the same wheel down 10 times, unless you mean you are going to change the numbers. I personally like 2w4if5of7 or 4w4if5of7 wheels because they are cheap enough that you can play 3 or 4 of them. If you wanted a wheel with 10 numbers - I'd go for a 5w4if5 (51) or a couple of 10w3if5(17). I really like

New - Curious... and there has got to be a better way...Reply
Thank you RJOh! This is the first time I have tried any strategy of picking my own before. The most I ever won in the past was 100.00 off of a pick5 or HIT 5 as it is called and that was computer generated (quick pick)...however how I used to play is buy $1 for the next 10 draws...this way I didn't have to go back all the time. For some reason...I did a little bit better (not by much) having one set of numbers for the next 10 draws... After the 150.00 mega outgo for the family...I felt foolis

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
i am well aware of jack , but my case against buying more tickets to increase one's odds are easily backed up.... when was the last time you heard of anyone (besides one person) stating during their acceptance speech that they played anything much beyond even $5 ? the lottery has been around a long time, and the news stories are archived at LP. you would be hard pressed to find very many at all that won after buying more than $5 in tickets. if this multiple ticket approach actually

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
coinstoss - Another way to look at this is to establish the odds if a person spent $46 bux to cover every Mega Ball #. If that same person played the same 5 set of #'s 46 times with a different MegaBall number (1-46) each time, that persons chances of winning would be 1 in 3,819,816. That would garauntee he/she's chances of winning was 1 in 3,819,816 (on each of those 46 tickets) since they already got the megaball right (they covered all of the possible Megaballs). Its all math ju

What is your lottery goal for 2011?Reply
I've played the lottery haphazardly over the years, however I just recently got more serious, which is one of the reasons I just joined LP. Right now, my plan for 2011 is to buy more tickets on the smaller jackpot games and less on the big ones. I am going to put less focus on PB, MM, and Lotto, and more toward Cash 5 Match Play. With a 1/175,000,000 chance of winning the MM jackpot, even 10 tickets per game is still a whopping 1/17,500,000 chance. Throw in Powerball and Lotto, and it can get

Good OR Bad BetReply
I understand where you are both coming from, you only gain $260....The question about the cash has to do with the question about picking two out of three numbers I asked. The number #2 has hit three times in a row, you have to basically rule out one number out of #1, #2, and #3; Thus, choosing two numbers right. The odds #1 has a 54% chance of hitting #2 has a 39% chance of hitting #3 has a 7% chance of hitting Each number does not have an equal chance of hitting beca

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Part of it has to do with timing and luck. 2 of the $100 winners were the first ticket in the book (029 and 014). It is for this reason that I will always buy those ticket numbers if available. Will I win 100% of the time? Nope, but if I am only going to buy 1 ticket, then I will be willing to take the chance. I have won tickets of $100 or more 6 times within the three months I have been playing. Much of that has been pure luck, some of it has been buying a bunch of tickets, and some of it is du

Holiday Gifts now a losing proposition AFTER roll 842-200000-000
I have won $40, $75 and $150 on this game, and I am still ahead, but just barely. I had all of those wins prior to ticket printing 842-200000-000. After 842-200000-000, winners have been far and few between. It is the ticket number printed on the back. I have had only one $15 winner after that number, and the rest have been either $5, a free ticket or $10. Up until that ticket number, my profit was $155, and that accounts for the ticket price. I lost $50 on that game alone, and I played it as us
