Idaho ends Powerball in state, fearing foreign participationReply
Hmmm... 5-eye Powerball? I already have stopped playing as often as I used to because of the terrible odds. I might play once just before $150 Million and then wait until the cash amount is over a certain amount in the hundreds of millions just because the odds really are awful and nobody ever wins. When the odds get upped again I will quit totally. If Mega Millions is smart they will go back to 175 million to 1 odds and go with a $3 tik/ $2 plier ($5) ticket that people actual

That front pair 8x...kinda worth taking a shot at one number or two and playing the rest for safety. Or just play em all odds are good it will hit in less than 5 eve draws at this point. So odds are good for profit of some kind.

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $1 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
RIgged? Nah. Consider the thing called Odds. The odds of a person being struck or killed in a lightning strike are said to be 1- 500,000. When was the last time you heard of anyone or knew someone killed that way? On the other hand- The odds of winning the Mega Million jackpot is 1-302,575,350 The Powerball odds are not much better: 1- 292,201,338 Once you have those numbers by comparison rolling around in your head, you come to realize it's not that easy hitting the jackpot after a

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
Deal..What deal? I follow the game in my state. My data is home grown unlike yours. I can't just flip a switch and follow any other game. The odds have already been stated by others. A 3 of 5 match in my game compared to yours is of longer odds. You know what that means.

$32.25 million Lotto Texas jackpot is currently the largest in the USAReply
The cash value is even better, at almost 85% of the annuity value vs about 80% for the $31 million MM annuity. The odds are almost 12 times better, too. The odds won't change, but in a little while we'll know if MM has rolled to $40 million.

One Arizona lottery ticket wins $410 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Both the number of winners and the size of the jackpot is a function of the odds. If you had a game that generated more winners, it would never accumulate to $410 million in the first place. The good news is, the type of game you are describing already exists. Every state lottery that I'm aware of has a game with a jackpot in the single to double digit number of millions where the odds to win are much more favorable and generate more top prize winners nationwide than the multi-state lotterie

New Scratchers out and about...Reply
The new $20 scratcher has a top prize of $5 mill paid as a 25-year annuity. In fact, all CA scratchers with top prizes over a mill are annuities, such deceptive advertising they use to lure players. If you want a nice payday immediately, avoid all of the $20 and $30 tickets like wuhan plague. Also mind the stated overall odds -- they include the free ticket prizes. You need to click on the link to the prize sheet and do the math by hand to work out the cash odds.

Wisconsin % All or Nothing %Reply
All comes down to the formula to calculate any lotto odds - n! / r!(n-r)! there are also easy to use online calculators: http://www.webmath.com/_answer.php 11/11 or 0/11 , works either way So in that press release they were just dividing the odds by 2 and I didn't see it off the bat. WI also uses the same method (odds /2 because of 2 number panels in a ticket) with Megabucks. Odds on the back of the slip will say 1 in 1 in 6,991,908 - but that's just

Mega Millions to adjust starting jackpot amount, eliminate minimum increasesReply
Tired of the high ticket prices of the Megamillions and Powerball and crappy odds when they added more numbers, now they are both lowering their jackpots I am about ready to be done with them. People need to stop buying their games and force them back to the old $1 tickets with the better odds. Now the Powerball has been won it's down to $20 million and I think it's time to skip it.
