VD,When a pool is handle the right way, everyone gets a fair share for their investment, anyone that would expect more is not the kind of friend I would want. When I play the lottery, I try to play as many combinations as possible thinking that my odds are improved with more combinations so I don't even repeat combinations of 4's on my tickets. Everbody have different ideas when it comes to picking numbers, for me having one winning ticket would work fine for me. Good luck to you.RJOh

Need adviceReply
I once belonged to a small pool at work here in TX (4--same--people only) and we had a 5 of 6 win (when it was only 50 lottery numbers). It was about a $2700 prize. By the way we missed the 6th numbe, and a $65,000,000 for one digit. We would only play when the jackpot was over the minimum, $3,000 at that time. It was unanimously decided that I would pick the numbers, fill the cards, purchase the tickets, hold them, cash and distribute the winnings, even if it was a small win. Showed that th

Mega Millions vs Ohio 6/49Reply
Once the 30yrs annuity becomes acceptable in a few of the big lotteries, it will become the standard for most of them, after all it's a way to increase the jackpot with the same amount of money and most pool players only play when the jackpot reach a certain level. Ohio $20M jackpot with odds of 1:13,983,816 sounds good regardless of the payout. RJOh

RE the Florida Lotto story on front page
If you buy tickets where the cash/annuity choice is made AFTER you win, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you check your tickets ASAP so the cash option can still be exercised (you lose the choice after 60 days). It might be better if the woman never found her ticket, and the $5 million or so cash value went back into the jackpot pool. What if the woman drops dead in the next few years?

odds are odds....regardless of coincidencesReply
Not quite, since there is nothing stopping you from having all, or some, of the same numbers on both tickets.If you use the quick pick feature, and buy two tickets, it is possible to have the same number on each ticket so the odds are the same for each set of numbers.The only way to always cut the odds in half would be to lower the number of choices in the number pool.

tax info for out of statersReply
there is a 2.8% pa state lottery tax that is set aside before every drawing. they are sorta paying it for you. so if the cash in thr prize pool is $3M for the jackpot they have already set aside the 2.8% needed to pay state taxes on that $3M. i consider that a tax. they are just distorting the truth.

165m if no winnerReply
I predict Powerball will lose a state six months after every time Powerball hits the $150,000,000+ mark. People play for the Grand Prize, not the 2nd tier prizes. Duh! I think they would be better off going to a Lotto Texas prize pool (with a slight increase in odds) then going with the route they are appearently going now.
