Lame idea or not?
This year Illinois put in those monitors that show winners, not just jackpot winners. I'm still not comfortable with the idea that if you win something everyone who passes by one of these terminals in the state is going to know who you are and how much you won (it's not just jackpots, I don't know the minimum win to get your mug on there but it's definitely not just jackpots, includes scrathers) Missouri isn't too far away for us and Kentucky is just a little further. I don't know is those

How many tickets do you buy?Reply
This is absolutely correct, although as usual, the lotteries are trying to misrepresent what they are doing. I play according to the expectation value, which is the ratio of the return divided by the odds times the cost of a ticket. Obviously the expectation value will fall when tickets go to $2. In order for the expectation value to be the same, the odds of winning would have to fall by half, and this is most definitely not what is happening. Large jackpot games differ from other forms

Connecticut Powerball mystery deepensReply
The reason they ask is, if you take the 10 picks on one ticket the numbers run concurently if you take 10 seperate tickets the computer has to generate 10 seperate tickets with 10 different sets of numbers that they have to generate not just run them concurent with the first set of numbers. Buy $5.00 worth on one ticket and $5.00 on seperate tickets and see how the numbers will be a lot different on the seperate tickets. That on the all on one ticket you get repeat Powerball numbers where on

What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
Why would it be necessary for a method of play to win at least two multi-million dollar jackpots to prove it is a system or a success? That isn't what he said. You could potentially wait a VERY VERY LONG TIME waiting to hit 2 Powerball Jackpots! Remember, the claims that have been made repeatedly here are that systems exist that can turn a profit WITHOUT the benefit of a Jackpot. There is even one system purported to win secondary prizes at a rate eleven (11) times what chance predicts! Wha

$244 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery frenzy ramps upReply
You can't use average increase per draw to get an accurate comparison. That would unfairly weight this year/end of last year, when there was the near-record jackpot. If you eliminate that run-up (which is appropriate to achieve a good, valid comparison), then you will find the jackpots are growing roughly the same as before. I don't think anyone (including the state lotteries) knew exactly what would happen after the cross-selling agreement went into effect. It is important when evaluating th

$244 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery frenzy ramps upReply
I just find it odd how with all the people and num ber combinations that are played these jps are still rolling. It looks like you're combining the total chances to win a jackpot during the entire jackpot run, but the only tickets that can win are the tickets sold in each drawing. There are 175 million possible combinations and the ticket sales were $66,360,212. With only 38% of the possible combinations covered, it was neither odd or unexpected when nobody hit. Someone might find it odd wh

I bought an entire book of $20 GA tickets - $3,000,000 Taxes PaidReply
What I have learned 1- Dont buy rolls of new scratchers after them having been out for 1 month and several jackpots have been claimed. This is when the lotto looks to make the most money and 90% of rolls will be cold. Rather buy the first week they hit the shelves or half a year into the game. 2- Dont buy whats popular at the moment 3- Dont buy rolls of dead scratchers ( tickets which have no jackpots remaining ) 4- Dont trust clerks. Every time ive asked if there have been any winne
