Great Discovery: The Dumb & Dumber system for Pick5: If you are desperate & patientReply
also i said filtering because: i am not telling you what to play but the odds that it will be for instance: 26,27,28,29,30 where every ending digit is from 6-10 the odds of it happening are so small.. or from: 36-40 again with the ending digits very high are so small...same thing with: 21-25 where all of the ending digits are low or from 30-35 where all of the ending digits are low, the odds of that happening are low...is probably going to be in between...i am sure you can find the pattern

POLL: The Institute for the Lottery InsaneReply
Coin Toss I'm highly insulted by the notion that my contention that I will win two jackpots would be considered crazy! However, when the men in the white coats come for me I will demand to be in the pumpi ward. We could have matching strait jackets and designer drool cups. I'm looking forward to it. As long as the woodpeckers don't come for me. I hate that. So I voted for I will win two jackpots and in your heart... you know I will. Mmmmmm... I smell bacon!

Things i've noticed: How do you plan to get the 100 Mill mark if is only 4 to 5 times a year
I know that Megamillions/Powerball is planing to play both in all states and that eventually will make 100 million jackpots more common but for the mean time i got this for you: I've heard many times very commonly say they will like to win: 100 million, 150 million, 200 million in MegaMillions/powerball and they can't wait when they win it...And this is going way back when MM PB starting jackpot was 10 mill...First of all those jackpots ranging from 100 million to 200+ millions only occured 4

Lotto MaximsReply
People who are vehemently opposed to playing a $1 quick pick will gladly fork over $10, $20, or $50 to play a raffle ticket. Although there is no such thing as your numbers , most players talk about my numbers. The more jackpots that go to quick picks, the more players deny that quick picks win most of the jackpots. Most lower tier prizes go right back to the lottery. When the Mega number on MM or the Powerball number on PB matches one of the upper matrix numbers, someone who h

Mega Millions jackpotsReply
I'm no statistician, but I believe I can offer some insight. It's true that any line of numbers has an equal chance of winning, and it's also true that where more tickets are sold more jackpots will (over time) be won. The problem with the assumption that it's better to play in a state that's had more wins is that it isn't a pool. The jackpots are won by individual ticketholders, not by states. If you buy a ticket in Maryland, and the winning ticket is sold in Maryland, it's more likely th

N.C. lottery store owners, employees winning big and oftenReply
I do play the lottery, but I am fundamentally opposed to the states running them in the first place. Before the 1970's lotteries were illegal in every state in the US, except perhaps Nevada. A primary reson for laws against lotteries was that bookmakers who ran them were profiting too much buy taking unfair advantage of people. It was marally wrong!!! When these villains ran the daily lottery a $1 for 3 nmbers paid $700 and 4 numbers paid $7000. the odds of winning are 1000-1 and 10,000-1 respec

GIGABALL, with average jackpots of over a BILLION dollars, but the odds to match?
Imagine this: A national lottery is rolled out. A lottery with a starting jackpot of $200,000,000. Now that's a *starting* jackpot of $200 million, and it will only grow from there. You see, in this lottery game you select 5 white balls from 1 to 99. You then select one Gigaball from 1 to 29. You then have 1 in 2,074,171,176 odds of winning the jackpot. Just like other big jackpot games, there are other prizes too, ranging from a small prize for matching just the gigaball to something l

Powerball now has the potential...Reply
Yeah, but I don't understand. Let's say that $100 million in tickets are sold for a high jackpot. But the jackpot can only increase by $25 million, right? And perhaps there's $10 million in other prizes given out. So, Powerball just pockets the other $65 million? Or more? Even if more is supposed to go to the jackpot amount? Ridiculous. I know about the 'record jackpot' rule that states that extra money can go into a bonus pool, but that only applies to record jackpots. I won

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween everyone! Trick or treat? How about Lotto Trick or Lotto Treat ?? Lotto Tricks : computerized drawings, impossible odds games, reduced jackpots, extremely lousy 2nd and 3rd place jackpots, etc. Lotto TREATs : Reduced number fields, expert paper software number pattern and number selection tools, better odds games Of course I'll take all those TREATS-- they can KEEP those doggone TRICKS!

GrrrrrReply
But let's not kid ourselves, Raven. What is the reason lotteries such as PB or MM were started? To create huge, eye-catching jackpots. If I wanted a meager jackpot, I could focus my attention to the state Classic Lotto. The jackpots are meager by comparison, but that is expected. Not so for the MM. Nobody is kidding anyone here. The reason we play a multistate lottery over the classic state lotteries is because of dreams of a big payout. It is equally frustrating because of the economic do
