Florida Fantasy 5 EZMATCH Stinks !!Reply
Too bad that the money that is not paid out in the ezmatch prizes, couldn't be added to the fantasy 5 pool. But that might cause people to purchase more tickets with a higher payout in the fantasy 5. What was I thinking?

Ohio LOP-record low payouts againReply
I purposely wrote NY _R_otto... R as in ripoff. The prize pool is only 38%-40% of sales. 3/6 always pays $1.

Ohio LOP-record low payouts again
The last two drawings had the lowest payouts yet for their respective nights of the week. Wednesday's prize pool was less than $150,000.

Looking for Powerball Pool PlayerReply
If I was running the pool, I would wait until the next time Powerball invokes the cap rule and spend all the money. With the bonus money going to the second place prize offers a very good expected value. You get a large jackpot at $390 million, plus extra money with match 5 prizes.

Powerball Sets A New RecordReply
Lucky match 4+1 winners!! Too bad for the match 5+0 winner that PB prizes other than the jackpot are fixed, and not pari-mutuel, though, or that winner would have won $877,996 (the amount actually in the match 5 prize pool based on sales for that draw). On the other hand, if prizes were pari-mutuel, each match 4+1 winner would have received only $3,264 each assuming PowerPlay is not a factor.

$267 million Mega Millions lottery ticket sold in OhioReply
I hope it's another lottery pool like the PB winners in Nebraska. Although it doesn't affect my life, I'd rather read that 5 or 10 people are new millionaires than only 1. The only reason I'd ever want to win more than $10M (cash value) is sharing would be a lot easier. If I won close to $100M after taxes, I could be very, very happy just keeping $20M of it!

C'mon MM, I know you can do it. Just roll over just a little bit more. Just three more rolls, just three more! I am in a lottery pool now.

I would. And I believe this site is the place to do it. I have been reading the posts for several months now and I feel the atmosphere here is very positive, very forward, and extremely honest. In any lotto pool, honesty is a required virtue.

$365M News ConferenceReply
Hearing it was another pool that won. Some meat packing place across the street from where the ticket was sold. Imagine that. A group, able to make a decision in less then six months! Whew! What is the minimum education level for packaging meat?
