$900 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot to create unimaginable wealthReply
I think some people look at the size of the current jackpot and think that number of tickets was sold in the current drawing. The odds are 1 in 292+million. 10 people won't beat those odds. I say 6 at best.

$450 MILLION: Powerball sales bonanza sparks early jackpot increaseReply
0 IN 292,201,338 VERSUS 1 IN 292,201,338 TO WIN THE JACKPOT. I play only to win the big jackpot, regardless of the odds. I only buy a ticket or two. There is not much difference between 1 or 100 in 292,201,338 but there is a huge difference between those odds and 0 in 292,201,338. In other words not much reason to buy several tickets, just one.

Do you think Powerball will go to a billion dollars?Reply
Old odds were 1:175M. A 67% increase with the change. What baffles me is the number of PBs is almost double what the number of MBs is in MM (26 vs 15 = 75% higher), yet the JP odds are only slightly higher than MM (1:292M vs 1:259M = 13% higher). Doesn't seem like the increase in WBs (69 vs 75 = 8.7% higher) would matter as much as it does.

Largest-ever UK Lotto jackpot has players... angry?Reply
..With that mentality, they would be pulling their hair out with the MM PB odds if they moved here.

Technically, the odds is 6 times worse, not 3, because not only did they add 10 balls, they doubled the price.

Are you going to buy any subscriptions in 2016?Reply
Pick-3 players get better odds in each of 104 drawings playing 50 cent straight to win $250 and over five times better odds of winning $2500 playing a 50 cent pick-4 straight ticket. I'm not knocking subscription play, but there are lots of better games than what the Massachusetts Lottery is offering via subscription.

Yup I remember the maximum millions, that's the way it should be - a larger second prize than what we have now. And I wouldn't be surprised if the odds to win $500 on the $25.00 ticket were about 1 in 1500, same as the current $25.00 ticket. But when there are $10.00 tickets sold with slightly better odds to win $500, it just makes you wonder.

Do you believe/think neural networks can improve your odds?Reply
Improve the odds, yes. Designate a win without a factor of chance, no.
