Which odds are better?Reply
Also, I can see how the odds would be the same regardless if I play 46 different sets or if I play 1 set and 46 differents magas. It does seem that the overall payout may be better with the 46 maga balls each draw. Right. If you're playing the same number of lines regardless of the method used, then technically your odds are the same. If you cover all of the Mega balls you're guaranteed to get at least some money back. If you only play 1 Mega Ball 500 times, there's no guarantee you'll get

Buying More Tickets Does Not Increase Your Odds.Reply
Well I guess a lot of people just don't realize how odds are expressed. Since dice have been mentioned here, the payout for hitting a 12 or 2 (not the odds, the payout, follow aliong) is 30 TO 1. This is expressed as 30:1. some casinos, to make it sound better, labeled their prop bets 31 FOR 1. leading some players to think they were getting an extra $1. Not the case, the for includes the bet. The real odds are 35:1, 36 combinations, one has to hit. 35 TO 1 is expressed as 35:1, i in

How to Determine If Results are Likely Not Random?Reply
Hmmmm.. 1,2,3,4,5 1,2,3,4,5 And the odds of 5 numbers repeating are? Odds of 5 numbers in sequence? Odd of 5 numbers in the same decade?.... 1,2,3,4,x 1,2,3,4,x And the odds of 4 numbers repeating are? Odds of 4 numbers in sequence? Odds if 4 numbers in the same deacade? In other words, if you get results that are 1 in million chance happening repeatively over a small amount of draws...there is a problem. Welcome to the California Fantasy 5.

Sweet Millions buy 5 get 3 free for January!!Reply
You're right, the game does need to go, or they need to change it to attract more players. The reason there few jackpot winners is beacuse people just dont like and play the game. Approximately 10% of the possible 3,838,383 six number combinations get sold for each drawing. That means 90% of the possible number of combo's goes unsold. (3,838 combos get sold versus 3,834,545 NOT being sold) So what is it about Sweet Million that people dont like, and therefore not play the game? I'm very

How do they distribute top prizesReply
Well, it does happen all the time. $5 Wintergreen just ended recently with a bunch of top $100,000 prizes remaining. And the next game to end, $100,000 Riches, will probably be next month sometime. It still shows 27 of 50 top prizes remaining, but do you think another top prize will be issued in the next month before it finishes? Possibly, but most likely not. That game did not sell well and is already disappearing from stores. You can only hope and trust that they are releasing top prizes in

Some Pick 3 Odds.
The Tx lottery site says that the odds of winning on a box single are 1/167, so maybe that means that particular boxed singles should or might repeat-come out every 167 draws (?). So that maybe a (One) boxed single might have a 0.006 chance to come out. So that 120 boxed singles might have a 0.71856 chance to come out. So even if you would play all the 120 singles you would still maybe only have a 72% chance of winning. So all the 10 triples and the doubles might have a total 28% cha

What are these people doing that they win so much ?? It's simply an illusion that these folks seem lucky. As an example, when you have a sea of possible multiverses that for the most part, are not viable for life to emerge, and then you have one universe that has all the right ingredients for life, the inhabitants of that universe feel as though they are special. When in fact, the reality is that they just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Nothing special there, on

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
Nope. Every line of numbers you play is up against the same odds, there is only one set of winning numbers drawn. barbos is right. If the fractionalizing theory worked people would just form pools and bet enough to make sure they won. Ha ha ha, the lottery loves that. They have this all figured out. Take a pick 5 game where the odds are 575,757 to one. $5000 in tickets, according to your thoey, would bring the odds down to 115 to one. $20,000 would make the odds 28 to one. If it work

odds question 5/39Reply
If that was true then buying 100 pick3 tickets for ten days would guarantee you a straight hit same as buying all 1000 straight pick3 combinations at one time. MATCHES ODDS 5/5 1 : 575757 4/5 1 : 3387 3/5 1 : 103 2/5 1 : 10 __________________________ overall odds are 1 : 8.7 The odds of matching 4 in a 5/39 game are 1:3397. Buying 20 chances would reduce those odds to 20:3397 or 1:169.35. During the samething for 7 days would mean your odds of winning four would be 1:169.
