Odds vs Chances
You can never change the Odds in any given game as it is a mathematical formula based on the given number of balls used in the game. However; you can improve your chances of winning in any given game by knowing what to look for.
Example: Il Lucky Day Lotto.

Take5 NY
T5 players in New York might be interested to know that there are still four numbers yet to be drawn in June. During most months, all 39 numbers are eventually drawn. (It does happen where a number has zero hits during any given month, but that doesn't happen very often.)
Numbers 1, 2, 10 34 have yet to come out in June. It's almost mid month, so my guess is that they'll appear in the next couple of weeks. In my humble opinion, if they do hit, then they're what I call a Free Number . That me

When is the right time to hang your lottery boots?
Most state and provincial lotteries still offer 50 cent straight and box pick 3 and pick 4 wagers so those that playing games like that for years probably still play them. It's different with the major jackpot games that made several game changes through the years. Considering players wager $2 to beat 1 : 14,494 odds just to win $100 in PB or 1 : 38,792 MM odds to win the same $500 they can win playing against 1 : 1000 odds for a $1 wager.
IMO, the big difference between then and now is the

The $29.95 Non-Believerz
What Stat fails to understand is that odds of any game are determined by..... MATH.
Math is how odds are found.
As far as deception , Stat is swimming in a river called de-nile , believing LO's are deceiving players. LOL...with the odds of these games we are up against, they don't have to deceive anyone. If they were, there would never be a winner. Here's a guy that believes LO's are cheating players, yet he will spend money on a lottery ticket.
I've never seen anyone with less comm

Box odds question
Of course for a straight hit the odds are 1 in 10,000, but we are talking about people who actually play pick 4. Box odds are not the same, I actually prefer
to play 50/50 and for my 4538 pick in Maryland I at least get $100 for a box hit, and if I beat the 1/24 odds I also get $2500. You can
always play a combo if your state has it. But a $1 combo will cost your $24 if it is a 24 way number.

You make this too easy stat$.
I count 13 favorites in your list. Even the *numbers add up to 8 numbers. In what Universe does that = the one (1) number garyo was referring to with get that mega ball down to one
Your evasion tactics, as well as your math skills, need work stat$.
Here's a little more math for you stat$.
JLB odds for 3/6 = 1 in 50 for a $5 win
JLB odds for 4/6 = 1 in 873 for a $50 win
RC5 odds for 3/5 = 1 in 103 for a $10 win
RC5 odds for 4/5 = 1 in 338

Sorry. You're mistaken. I wasn't complaining. Just pointing out facts (odds of the game). Odds of a lottery game isn't a problem . Odds are what they are. You were complaining about the numbers drawn. I was

Virginia: 6/1 - 6/30/2023
I am sooo tempted. I don't have any feel for how those numbers are going to fall, but it's possible to manipulate the odds a bit so that they are similar to the odds of hitting Pick 3 straight. The way to do it, is to play a 5 way number like 1-2-3-4-5 ANY WAY. The odds are 1 in 833 and it pays $400. That's not a gigantic lick, but most of the other ways to play Pick 5 result in winnings over the $600 limit so you have to pay taxes.
For tonight I like 5-1-7-9-0.
Good Luck!

Nebraska Lottery to make changes to Pick 5 game
The Pick 5 jackpot currently stands at $50,000 and the odds of winning the jackpot from 1 in 501,942 .
And with the odds increasing to 1 in 658,008, saying doesn't sound like an upgrade to me is an understatement. They only have two state drawn games and both are computer drawings.
Their pick 3 game pays $600, better than most, and better than their pick 5 odds of 1 in 3,042 to win $450.
