Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Because it's Good Friday, I will try my luck and see how it goes. I will get one $5 Millionaire For Life ticket. Am ok with winning $18M from a 22M odds than winning $90M with over 300M odds. 2nd price of $2.2M with 5M odds is better than $2M for MM with odds over $10M Good luck to all

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
The PA raffle logic is based on the number of tickets sold, so if there is a sellout, the odds are correctly stated as 125,000 to 1. (500,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) Now, if there are less tickets sold, only sold numbers go into the raffle... if only half sell, then the possible outcomes are reduced... to 62,500 to 1 (odds) (250,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) They put these tickets that win the weekly $50,000 back in for the big prize drawing, but actually you are correct, the possible outcom

$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
That does not work. The lottery odds are based on possible combinations. One set of numbers means you have covered one combination out of 292.2 million. A second set of numbers ( two tickets with one set of numbers each) each set being up against the same 292.2 million odds. There is NO WAY an additional ticket magically eliminates over half of the rest of the combinations. Were done, bye.

$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
There are no guarantees in gambling. No you are not going to have a one in 58 million chance, you are going to have reduced the possible combinations by five that's all. Since you still believe in an additional ticket cuts the odds in half just keep buying tickets until the odds are in your favor guaranteed some kind of win.Oh wait, that's not possible.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
That's awesome. Congratulations on your ticket. And good luck! I had basically the same experience at the local gas station by me. When buying. Then I explained the odds to her. And told her it was pretty good odds. I think she bought a ticket or two.

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
Why would they express the odds of winning? Since you mention it though and since you've worked in casinos for a long time what is the only table games bet that pays true odds?

Pure baloney. If playing a second ticket cuts the odds in half why stop with the second ticket, why not keep buying more tickets until you are pretty sure of a win. MM and PB odds can only be reduced by half if you play half of all the combinations.

Agreed. People often equate odds and probability even though technically they are not exactly the same. Odds is just easier because it's one syllable. Probability has more letters and five syllables. So, with Pick 3, the traditional way to describe odds of winning with a single ticket is 1:999, and with a second ticket, it is 2:998. You can reduce 2:998 to 1:499.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
both tickets are still up against odds of more than 292.2 million to one. No, each ticket is up against odds of 292 million to one. Both tickets are up against odds of 146.1 million to one. Besides, ... Those who refuse to lay out $5 for a ticket that could win millions are outrageous.
