State lotteries losing revenue to 'jackpot fatigue' and casinosReply
Ron5995: combined with horrible payback low as 40%. You should see the payback on some Mega Millions/Powerball prizes and the Georgia Five numbers game. Example: 3+1 on Mega Millions; odds 1 in 10,740; prize $50. That is a payback of 0.47%. Why should I play Mega Millions when I can win $5,000 with the Pick-4 with immaterially better odds? Also note that the jackpot payback starts at 5.79% payback ($15,000,000 vs. 1 in 258,890,850 odds).

"All New NCLOTTOKING TTT Traps Pick 4"Reply
Hello psychicSeer4u, Thank you for your inquiry. You are 100% correct about the odds of the pick 4 being 10,000 to 1, however we have developed systems which are designed to lower these odds tremendously.

Systems Vs. Numbers-The Big QuestionReply
I pretty much agree with the sentiment in AllenB post. I use Foxpro (currently) to test out theories, then using that theory I scroll through all the tickets to do a What if I use this theory to calculate profit/loss and overall odds. Then if it is good, then I write a program to predict the next ticket(s) and but it. For example, with my latest version of my Illinois Lotto predictor, I went from the standard 13% overall odds to a 25% overall odds of getting a refund or greater. Been doing

Let's Hammer Out A Pick 3 Straight For YOUR State!Reply
100 numbers. Well, let's look at it this way. We have eliminated 900 numbers to have to consider. That to me is a big deal. ANY number you can eliminate is a huge plus. If you consider P2 , then the 100 numbers to filter make sense. P3 has average of 9000 pairs, so the odds of a front pair is 1/9000. You can select any pairs(based on whatever method) only for strategic wage, it does not change the odds.Be mindful that the odds remain constant for each draw, so tracking for long overdue, hot o

New 2$ scratch-0ffReply
I agree it does generally suck. Then again, it has to to some extent in order for the jackpot odds of hitting $30k: 1 in 482,400 to be possible. I know it is hard to believe, but the Money Bags Multiplier is probably the best $2 scratchoff game odds wise in the country (maybe in the world at the moment). Compare it to a New York Lottery game where the odds are 1 in: 1,380,200.00 at hitting a $25k prize on a $2 ticket. Our lottery suddenly seems generous in comparison. I've bought 20, and

Why Powerball?Reply
Not true! Spend $2 on Mega Millions and your odds of hitting 5+0 is 1 in 9 million. Spend $2 on Powerball and your odds of hitting 5+0 is 1 in 11 million. Why do so few people on this site understand odds?

Oregon MegabucksReply
So, 2 days ago you say you weren't going to play it any more. But tonite you blow $10 bucks on it. What changed your mind? What are the odds to win? If it is any consolation, I play Calif superlottery and the odds are 1:42 million. So, tho the pots are larger they only draw 2x a week and the odds are terrible. Second prize is only about 40k. And there is no multiplier option. I won nothing tonight. :(

Everyone will have their own opinion but any kind of game of chance breaks down to pure luck. Of course, if you have the funds to play multiple games and books then that increases your odds. Anything you can do to increase your odds is a good thing. I don't and probably never will have the funds to chase entire books or buy many multiples of tickets at once but I have heard many times before of individuals going into a store, purchasing just one ticket and winning a life changing amount. My beli

Understanding Lottery StrategiesReply
Whether they spend $10, $15, or $1000 a drawing there are still over 258 million combinations they won't have. I saw a pick-5 (5/37) strategy win a $100,000 jackpot, but the odds it beat were exactly the same as the purchasing a like number of QPs. So I guess my point is eventually all 258 million MM combinations will be drawn, but it will take over 25,000 years for 1% of all the combinations to be drawn at 2 drawings a week. IMO the odds are too great to expect to win a jackpot and the small

Wow, 1 in 482k? That's definitely going to make it the best $2 ticket thus far. Those will be popping quickly, and often. @ Skeptic - I don't think the odds are 1 in 2.4k at hitting $500, those are just the odds for each of the different types of $500 wins. I'm too lazy to calculate the exact odds of hitting $500 at the moment, but it shouldn't be worse than the FL Cash/Misfortune. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the $10m prize tier broken down to make the $1M prizes easier to
