Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
No, but, see, you don't get his logic. On the days he was right he had better odds. The days he was wrong didn't exist. That's how he makes his odds better, by ignoring the days when his odds were worse. It really works.... in his head.

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
Why cant you just get over it Boney? No one is trying to beat the odds for the next 1000 years and prove some cosmic truth..... Getting BETTER ODDS in the short term for the purpose of posably effecting a win is not that hard to do.......... If you want to call intuition and skill luck than its luck but ether way some combinations do have BETTER odds (in the short term) than others..........

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
I've never met a long term winning player that did make use of intuitive powers. (LMFAO) It's all about reads, pot odds, implied odds, reverse implied odds, hand ranges, etc. Anybody who uses intuition to make moves that are mathemetically wrong are long term losers. Unless the other players at their table are worse than they are. I realize I make some spelling errors. Spelling isn't my strong suit. People with no better point to make and no logic behind them like to point that o

Do Some Number Combinations Have Better Odds? No All Combinations Have The Same Chances Of Winning.Reply
Isn't this a sort of 'so what' situation? Seems to me that if I got hung up on 'odds' everytime I choose numbers to play, as suggested by my tracking charts, I'd hang it up and go watch TV. What I need is a useful answer to the 'what's next' question, regardless of or despite the odds. Have fun - screw the odds.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Im definently stocking up. It looks like there was only around 80,000 sold this one so the odds were insane. Now that the first drawing has gone i dont think as many tickets will even sell for the second one, so i think that the odds are going to be even better. When i go to the lottery office tommorow ill try 4 more of the $25 scratch off from their machine, and if i dont win snip im done with those and sticking to the raffle the odds are great This post has been automatically changed by th

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Texas recently started posting the location, date,ticket # of each grand prize scratch ticket cashed in. The $1 all the way to the $50 ticket. The other day I spent an hour or so scanning thru all the locations and my town of around poplulation 100,000 had maybe 12 total grand prize winners. I would guess I scanned thru 1000 grand prize winners they had posted. At least half of the 12 were $1 tickets with a $1000-$2000 top prize. None were on tickets above $5 best I remember. I know some States

Florida's Billion Dollar Blockbuster v GRT or ??Reply
Biggy, I say this in good humor but......you'll never find a $200 winner on BDB because that isn't one of the available prize levels. HA!!! That game does give you the best odds at hitting a grand, though....although I've never hit one. BDB is best for hitting a hundred bucks (although only slightly better than other games) and gives you the best odds at a thousand bucks. And of course the million....other than that, you're looking at 1:545 for hitting $500......compare that to odds of 1:196

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
Who said anything about beating the lottery LottoBoner?? All I wanted was BETTER ODDS.... Knowing that I play with 1 in 20 million odds while everyone else plays the same game with 1 in 175 million odds is good enuogh for me.

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
Im a slow learner and Im just figuring this out a little at a time. But I'm surprised more LP members don't understand the math behind wheels and getting better odds. If I can get the bonus number right once every 23 draws I have effectivly cut the overall odds in half. While everyone else is playing QPs and screaming about 1 in 175.000,000 odds Im just scratching my head.

Are QPs randomly generated numbers?Reply
Good question mcginnin56, but it just so happens that I understand the odds well enough to realize that when I play QPs (no matter their source) my objective is not winning as much as just making a casual play As I explained to Thrifty the other day, its just a bit of thrill seeking and entertainment. When I bought 200 QPs and hit 3 of 5 on two lines it was a big win considering the odds of getting 3 of 5 are 1 in 306 on MM. That's why I primarily use the LP resources and play a 2 if 2 wh
