I hear ya Haymaker..... I used to play L4L when my daughters were in college over in Connecticut. I had lots of reasons to drive over there back then, but my daughters have graduated, so I hardly ever go over there any more even though the NY/CT border is only about a 35 minute drive from house. I think too when I was playing it (2012 timeframe) the matrix was NOT what it is today, and it was easier to hit. (I think it may have been changed to include more Lucky Balls ) Also, at that time,

How often P3 digit repeats on top next draw?Reply
Past draw history wasn't part of the demo at all, so it was confusing when mentioned. Everything up to now has only been about ODDS and how to best use those odds. The only draw history used here so far has been, sometimes its a double, and sometimes it's a single. 72%,27%,1% The odds and payouts of Pick 3 are not good, but we have to know what they are. We have to make the best of them, and play within those limits. Odds are hard facts and they never change regardless of past

Question Regarding The Odds of The Pennsylvania Millionaire RaffleReply
Let's look at the manual aspect of a raffle. If we assume there are 500,000 raffle tickets sold and each prize winning ticket is drawn one at a time from the mixing drum, then we need to examine what is happening at each moment of selection. In the 1st Top Prize, one ticket is selected from the drum of 500,000. The odds of one purchased ticket winning the 1st Top Prize is 1 : 499,999. Now, the drum is closed and the tickets are mixed again. How many tickets a left in the drum?

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Fairly newish scratcher here compared to most here I'd think, and just found this site/registered. A few comments/questions: 1) Current 20/25 games: a. Current consensus on what's up with the 100x? Did most of the remaining top prizes get thrown away? Would that be the most logical conclusion? Should we buy if we happen to stumble upon them? b. Same question essentially for 200k life. Of course there are still plenty of tickets in circulation in seems, but it's been 5 years and sti

If You Live Long Enough ... Good Chance You Will Win !Reply
Thanks LM for the additional information ... that's what was missing from this conversation. Now we can all plan accordingly for future plays ... I'm sure it will only be a matter of time till some LP member lands a jackpot. To get serious ... maybe odds don't register or relate to the average person but changing the odds to years and we can all understand that. I play the 6/49 game type for the better odds over MM and PB ... so in my head I think I have a shot at some decent money with

Sweet Million Vs Cash4Life OddsReply
Your one of many other players who can't compare odds. *I* can certainly compare odds. My point, and I think we agree on this, is that most players can not and/or do not compare odds. If they do, obviously it doesn't make an impression on them, because if it did, NO ONE WOULD PLAY THE LOTTERY because of how remote the odds are! The thing is, I can also compare payouts. And yes, the odds are worse for C4L than they are for SM. However, the payouts for C4L are better when you compare them by

As it shows in your chart and my ealier chart with calculations, with only one line the odds of matching 0+1 are 1:21 but with 15 lines the odds are improved to 1:1. possible combos of 5/75 + 1/15 numbers = 258890850 MATCH ODDS WINNING COMBOS ODDS 15 LINES 5/5+B 1 : 258890850 1 1 : 17259390 5/5+0 1 : 18492204 14 1 : 1232814 4/5+B 1 : 739688 350 1 : 49313 4/5+0 1 : 52835 4900 1 : 3522 3/5+B 1 : 10720 24150 1 : 715 3/5+0 1 : 766 338100 1 : 51 2/5+B 1 : 473 547400 1

I have the best chance of winning the MegaReply
His odds of winning the jackpot would be better putting all 1200 on one drawing, not 600 on each. But only slightly. Here's the math: 258,890,850/600 = ~ 431,485 (odds) 1/431,485 = 0.000002317579011 (probability of winning) (1-0.000002317579011)^2 = 0.999995364847350 (probability of losing either of 2 draws) (1-0.999995364847350) = 0.000004635152650 (probability of winning at least once, Rule of Compliments) vs. 258,890,850/1200 = ~ 215,742 (odds) (unnecessary to do the w

Why Only Lotteries rather than Drawings?Reply
Actually I could not find a weekly raffle offered in a state that allows for a big jackpot. Obviously the odds are much better with significant prize amounts. I'm just thinking outloud: Offer a daily raffle at $2 or $5 per ticket and the state keeps 25% of the revenue leaving the following odds and prize amounts with a daily guaranteed winner: # of tix sold 100,000 $375K 250,000 $987K 500,000 $1.9 Million 1,000,000 $3.8 Million 2,000,000 $7.5 Million 5,000,000 $18.8
