Quick Pick/Machine PickReply
In most pick-5 games matching 2 out of 5 wins a prize even if it's a free ticket. The overall odds of winning any prize is around 1 in 10 so lots of people win prizes using QPs. The overall odds of winning any prize is higher in Powerball (1 in 36) and Mega Millions (1 in 40) and there is statistic going around that says 80% of tickets sold are QPs. Assuming that is true, there were 2.2 million Quick Picks in last Fridays Mega Millions drawing that won a prize.

Lottery DeadlineReply
You must be talking about what happened to me last night when I was filling out Mega Millions play slips and not watching the time and thought I was buying the tickets before the deadline. It wasn't until I was checking the tickets that I noticed they were for Tuesday. First time I ever looked at Mega Millions tickets and hoped they all would be losers.

Which gives me a better chance of winning a lottery?Reply
Statistically (odds) $100 in one shot is better than $50 in two draws..no matter what the game. You can win $220 million playing Mega Millions on Tuesday by buying only one ticket. Buying 100 tickets give you more chances to win, but it won't change the jackpot so you are decreasing the payoff odds from $220 million to $1 to $22 million to $1.

Mega Millions now at $125M
