Most don't play enough numbers to profit at Pick 3 !Reply
On the other hand ....some people like to play and win even when the House takes it's Vig. There are 50/50 bets in Pick 3 right now ....several of them. Part of the point in this Post Subject is....or was....that you have to play many more numbers to get closer to those better odds. Some can afford to play at that level ...and some can't ...the end. Some know that to win more often ....they must work to find a happy middle ground between money spent and money won. This was

Another thing to look at for Cash Ball compared to PowerBall: Cash Ball - Match 4/4 + 1 = $200,000. Odds = 1 : 1,268,520. PowerBall - Match 5/5 + 0 = $200,000. Odds = 1 : 3,478,761. Cash Ball - Match 3/4 + 1 = $300. Odds = 1 : 10,935. PowerBall - Match 3/5 + 1 = $100. Odds = 1 : 11,927. So it's 2.7 times easier to win $200,000 on Cash Ball than it is to win $200,000 on PowerBall, and 1.1 times easier to win $300 on Cash Ball than it is to win $100 on PowerBall. I just might ha

Is lottery like poker?Reply
There was a court case in California that decided poker was a game of skill. The reasoning was that if a given number of people all played for the same amount of time, over that time they would all receive about the same number of good and bad hands. How they played those hands determined if they won or not. Cards are less than half of the game of poker, reading people, picking up tells, those kinds of things are just as important. In poker there are not only the odds of drawing the card

UK Lottery operator plans $500 million global lottery gameReply
I'd rather spend the money for a game with better odds. After blowing $20 for one Florida Raffle ticket, I would never play another game with a $20 ticket price. The odds for that game were only 125,000 to 1 and I still didn't win anything. The only way I'll ever play another raffle game is if they add a few hundred $1,000 prizes and maybe some $500 or $100 prizes, or if they lower the ticket price. At least with a lot of lower tier prizes, a player has a chance of getting his money back.

The lotto is IMPOSSIBLE to winReply
Even with the other numbers being different, if the numbers claimed by the nutjob really did come up it's an extremely unusual occurrence. Still, even if the exact same numbers came up 5 times in a row for PB or MM, while it would also be extremely unusual it wouldn't prove that anything was actually wrong. The odds that the next 4 MM drawings will match the one from this past Tuesday are roughly 1 in 9.529871528401 e+32. That's a 9 followed by 32 more decimal places. Roughly 950 trillion

Hello Tntea. Glad you had a fun and profitable trip. Its inspiring to see you are always thinking out the box, and relentless when it comes to mastering this 'lotto thing'. I believe you Tntea can very well whip the Pick 5 and 6. Many of us have trumped the odds when it comes to winning the Pick 3 and Pick 4. The same can be done with the Pick 5 and the Jackpots. Its very, very, very doable. Yes, I know about the odds(yawn). But we've all seen how even the lotto itself often defies the s

Odds Don't Change When Jackpot Goes UPReply
Pick 3 1000:1 dollar two = 100:1 dollar three= 10:1 dollar 4= 1:1, where's my payoff? That is what some people here are saying As near as I can tell nobody has actually said that, except for when you've chosen to post imaginary conversations. You are definitely the only one who has suggested that anyone thinks each additional dollar cuts the odds in half again. What people have said is that the second dollar doubles your chances of winning, which means it cuts the odds

Odds Don't Change When Jackpot Goes UPReply
Otherwise, using your example, when Powerball or Mega Millions was in the huindreds of millions people with deep enough pockets would be buying the amount of tickets necessary to guarantee a jackpot. How do you think buying fewer than all the possible combinations guarantees a jackpot? If there is even one combination left unpurchased the jackpot is not guaranteed. When the lottery sells tickets they don't run through all the possible combinations and begin again, not even for Quic

Odds Don't Change When Jackpot Goes UPReply
Welcome to Lottery Post. A lot of what you read is dependent on phraseology, how the question is asked and answered. Of course the lottery is a closed number universe, the overall odds never change, but there are also odds for every possibility that might occur some dependent on events. The odds against winning a full jackpot do go up as the jackpot gets bigger because the odds of multiple winners go up as well. Winning a half or a quarter of a jackpot is NOT winning a lottery ja
