Delaware Lotto WonReply
It's Delaware's in-state lottery came. No other states play this. It is a knock-off of Match 6 from PA (the first state to try this format). Similar formats are used in MD and a multi-state version exists in VT/NH/ME. Ohio has a modified version of it.

New Florida Lottery raffle will make 10 millionairesReply
Can't find a post. I should have copied it first as Todd suggests. Think it's my DSL connection. Happened when I got a PM and then poof! Anyway, this is sort of what I said: Does anyone know how many Fant 5 tickets are sold daily (or any pick-5 game) The reason I am asking is because the odds are 1:376,000 according to the FL web site. I know many people who have played that game for years and never won anything. Okay, so now we have a raffle for more money that costs $20 times th

odds are reducedReply
in PURE numbers (such as 5th grade math) fractions are reduceable have you taken 5th grade science? the odds are not pure numbers, they now represent a quantity of something... I'll keep it in the pick 3 realm for this... odds as posted 1:1000 ____ there are 1,000 possible combos... from 000 to 999, they will pick only 1 you buy 000(1:1000), they can pick 000-999, but you leave 001,999 uncovered... you buy 000 and 999(2:1000), they can STILL pick 000-999, but you are left uncovered f

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
The easy way to understand the difference is from the end of Tucker's last post... 4/500,000... this is where probability stops... one ticket gives you 4 favorable outcomes to the 500,000 possible outcomes. This is the reality of any game. Only here we have 4 top prizes instead of one. 1/125,000... this is where the Odds are... which is favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes. He is correct in performing the division here because for every favorable outcome there are 125,000 unfavorab

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1). They included a 10X possibility but re-arranged the other multiplier odds to give you preci

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
What would you do with the money? $135,000 isn't so life changing, especially after Uncle Sam takes his share. That's a question a few folks in my family have asked me, and I realized something when they said it, and that's that they're right to a certain extent. Depending upon one's financial situation, it could be very life changing. I have a mortgage, it's not overly big, so even after federal income taxes were taken out of my total winnings, I could pay off my mortgage. Even though my m

Zane Collins of Brookings is a double-lucky lottery winner who usually plays the odds twice each time. His uncommon strategy has paid off to the tune of $2,000 a week for the rest of his life.
