Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
I will wait and see what the prize structure looks like but with 18 million to 1 odds for second prize I doubt they will have a big enough prize for me to consider it worth the bother. I will probably wait until the Jackpot is over $650,000,000 before I buy a ticket. Consider the second prize odds about what a 6/51 jackpot game would be. For 6/51 odds second prize had better be a $25,000,000 annuity.

Come this fall, winning the multi-state Mega Millions lottery jackpot will become even more difficult in the 45 states and jurisdictions that offer the lotto game. The consortium that operates Mega Millions is upping the odds to 1 in about 258.9 million that someone picks all six numbers right. The current odds are 1 in about 175.7 million that a person correctly chooses five of 56 numbered white balls and one of 46 gold balls. The odds will change under a new format for the Oct. 22 dra

If you can choose to give up your winnings in exchange for being never hungry or homeless...Reply
In this scenario how much would each lottery ticket cost? What would the matrix be like for this game? If you were to say the ticket price stays the same at $2 each and the matrix stays the same with having to match all 6 white balls out of 59 and then matching the red powerball out of 35, then I would stop playing the lottery. I would also imagine lottery sales would plummet sharply and the lottery goes out of business in 2 months. For me to spend $2 per ticket and go up against ridiculous o

Should I buy 5 QP in one ticket or 5 QP in 5 separate tickets?Reply
It doesn't matter. There's a 99.9 % chance you won't win in your lifetime. It's really that simple when contending extremely high odds. Unlike the masses who've been told that if someone wins almost every week , so it makes sense to play. lol, There are so many losing for that one person to win. You have to be in it to win, I get it, but the odds are the odds. They never quiver.

Should a winning system be posted on the LP?Reply
Winning systems have already been posted at LP and nothing changed that the average lottery player would notice because the average lottery player thinks a winning lottery system should change his odds of winning the jackpot of a 6/49 game from 1:14M to 1:140 or his odds of winning a MM/PB jackpot from 1:175M to 1:750. If a player is getting wins 10-20 times that of the overall odds of getting wins, chances are he's using a winning system even if hasn't yet won even a second prize, he's proba

Do you give much thoughts to the " odds" when playing the lottery?Reply
Don't mind the mind bending odds, just relax, all of you will win the JP. In the real world: The odds are Golden. Of course you have to weigh in the odds. That's first priority. First beat the p-3 relatively regularly, then move up. PB? You're on your own.

How often do NO digits return in next P-3 draw?Reply

Are you a creature of habit when purchasing your lottery tickets?Reply
I don't see any reason why a particular store would create a winning JP ticket. Correct me If I'm wrong, but the numbers don't come from the terminal at the store, but created by the mainframe computer at some other location. Secondly, I'd like to see any information showing PB/MM JPs won more than once in one store, and the frequency of these events happening in any given store/s over a period of time. I'm sure It's happened once or twice, but not enough to warrant driving many miles out of
