Mega hit tonightReply
You must have posted it just before I did. Anyway, I'm only playing Mega for Tuesday if the Illinois Lotto and Powerball jackpots are both won tomorrow night (because Mega will have the larger cash value option of the two multi-state games). I do have a good feeling Lotto will be hit tomorrow because everyone will go out and buy one of those after seeing Mega go back to $10 million.

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
Two ways computerized lottery drawing can be abused:1) States know that lottery sales increase as the jackpot increases. So it is to their advantage that no one wins the smaller jackpots, so that the jackpot increases.They could easily program the computer to make sure the winning numbers drawn were not picked by anybody.2) The programmers of the computer could arrange for a certain number to be picked, and have an accomplice play those numbers.I write this as a computer programmer of 27 years,

Can someone please explain the rationale behind that idea?I spend more money at higher jackpots, to give me a better shot at winning, because I'd rather win $200 million than $10 million.

You guys are just getting toooooo good.JackPower ball has already said they're going to change their format to raise the odds and make it harder to win which will allow the jackpots to go higher. The changes talked about by the Mega Million folks will probably so the same for Mega Millions

A 5/56 + 1/46 matrix has odds of 175,711,536:1. A step in the right direction toward super jackpots. I think this could easily generate a $400 million prize.

$165,000 is a big jackpot for pick 5. NY Take Five, are you listening? CO, you mean with jackpots as high as Lotto, with the same pick 5 odds?

Why Play?Reply
wrt jackpot games...i play because despite odds jackpots are won and therefore can be won if you have a ticket...and because they still use numbered balls and mechanical machines for most jackpot draws...and it really isn't that expensive staying active in a jackpot gamei also play pick 3 and 4 occasionally because i like the increased complexity and ticket variations offered filling out the play cardscurrently i p3 doubles
