Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
@PendingSector, Welcome to the site. Without going into tremendous detail, here are answers to your questions: 1) a. There are very few 100X books still in circulation. A significant problem is that about half of the books are in inventories at gas stations or Publix where they will never be activated because there are newer games out. You have to ask the clerk/manager to look in their inventory and then you have to purchase the entire book if you want them because the clerk/manager does n

The Real Reason Why The Powerball Lottery Game Jackpot Will Be Impossible To Win At Odds Of 1:292M
It took 2.5 years for Ohio Classic Lotto jackpot to be won while the lottery sat on the money earning interest. The lottery has realized that longer jackpot rollovers means less probability of being short to fund the jackpots and more interest earned on the money.https://www.lotterypost.com/news/276971 Mega Millions and Powerball are hoping to do the same by changing the games matrices to impossible odds of winning the jackpot, thereof creating longer jackpot rollovers. How does

3 if 6 (in theory what if...)Reply
A 6/39 lottery has 3,262,623 combinations, your odds of winning are the number of unique lines you are playing divided into 3,262,623. A wheel (36,6,3,6) = roughy 85 lines so divide 3,263,623 by 85. It is the same whether a 6/39 lottery draws 20 numbers offers a 20 number play or you fully wheel 20 numbers, the odds of having all six winning numbers among your lines would be 1 in 84.18 once you have all six winning numbers among the 20 you are in a sense playing a 6/20 lottery the

What will MM look like after PB change?Reply
Really hard to say. I'll keep playing both because even second prize gets me out of debt and pays off the mortgage. Then some left over to help retire in a few years. I always play megaplier on MM, and lately I've been playing powerplay. When I compare the odds for both second prizes, (even after the PB change), to the odds for our lotto game, MM and PB still have better odds. And, I'm still in the game for the jackpot. Good luck whichever you choose! Maybe play some on both?

Winning a jackpot on just five lines or lessReply
With most major jackpot games having over all odds of 1:50 or better or winning at least their smallest prize how can one bet $2,000.00 and win nothing? That is a myth created by players who spend only a dollar or two to feel good about winning nothing, they can tell themselves it would have been worst if I had spent $2,000.00 and won nothing. Even they'll win something if they play often enough. That's as bad as people claiming the odds of winning a PB or MM jackpot are one in a Trillion, th

New York instant scratch off tickets - new tickets with less odds to winReply
I'm sure your luck will pick up Matt! In the meantime, yes, stay clear of NY tickets. The new batch is coming out tomorrow and....I don't even know what to say. A ten dollar ticket with a top prize of $600.00! Granted, there are supposedly 'loads' of $600.00 winners and the odds are 1 in 669.40 but the overall odds on this $10.00 are even worse than the new five dollar ticket, and the odds to win just $500.00 on that ticket are at 1 in 82,000!! Unbelievable!

Time waster. Doesn't even scratch the surface of what you are looking for. You do that, you'll want to know how many time evens follow evens, odds follow odds, evens follows odd, odds follow even (all by position) biggest jump (by position), least jump (by position), how often each stays within a certain range (by position), and 30 other things along the same line. How can you do it? Get a list and start comparing them.

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
After the changes are enacted, the odds of winning the jackpot which was a record $590.5 million in 2013 will increase to 1 in 292,201,338, up from 1 in 175,223,510. The odds of winning $4? That will improve from 1 in 111 to 1 in 92. The new rules will take effect with tickets purchased starting Oct. 4 for the Oct. 7 drawing. Pathetic... I will buy a ticket when the jackpot reaches astronomical levels only. Living in Calif, the 5/6 prize is usually well below $1 million and the chance

Looks like that lottery win will never happenReply
While the odds are severely stack against someone winning, it's the idea of knowing others have done it by taking their dollar(or 2) and purchasing a ticket. I looked at the number of jackpot winners just on the PB list over the last 5 (10-14)years and it looks like we are averaging about 14 winners for the year. 2011 2014 were below that number - although we have almost as many winners that have collected in 2015 as we did in all of 2014. This doesn't include the 2nd tier prize winners of a mil

New York instant scratch off tickets - new tickets with less odds to winReply
funny how our $20+ tickets have a lot worse odds than other states in many states it is not uncommon to see $20+ tickets have odds better than 1:3 but in NY some of the tickets such as the former hit 5M and the golden ticket have odds closer to 1:4 always wondered what would happen if someone dropped $1000 on a book of $20s - would u get back over or under $400 (have heard entire books of golden ticket have paid out under $500 out of $1250)
