Florida Fantasy 5Reply
Agreed. Although at odds of 1/376,992, Fantasy 5 has the best odds of the Florida draw games, and is definitely winnable! (here's a pic of my win in 2014, towards the bottom of the page: Post Your Winning Tickets ) According to their annual reports, Florida also returns 64%-65% of sales revenue to the prize pools, which seems pretty decent to me. Unfortunately, the trend seems to be mammoth jackpots, with accompanying mammoth odds. That, plus the lower-tier prizes are ravaged to pum

How North Carolina scratch-off lottery tickets are distributedReply
They left out so many facts in this report it's not even funny. The tickets for a large print game might not even all be printed at once. I.E. They may print half the game and send it to the warehouses and they even left out bigger points such as ticket pooling. The tickets after they are printed are sorted into pools to ensure random distribution, however this is actually to ensure the lottery does not lose money. Typically the last pool of a game the last top prize is moved to the back of t

How can I validate my system is getting closer to picking better numbers?
MegaMillions... Numbers appearing in ( ) represent the ball number in terms of the conversation, except the spreadsheet formula. I'm going into this knowing that it's impossible to pick random numbers. Be that as it may, still having fun trying to develop a program to create a pool of numbers to draw from. I prefer cold numbers over hot numbers. I am thinking along the lines of a coin toss in that the same side of coin becomes increasingly less possible to get consecutively over time. If

In Group Winners: can the payout other than split evenly ?Reply
Multiple family members can definitely be part of the same pool, but that's not what the OP was asking about. Obviously pools should have a written contract, and it's probably even more important if there are multiple members of the same family in the pool and one of them is running the pool. Even if you don't have a written agreement the IRS is probably happy enough to believe that if you share a lottery prize with coworkers it's because you had a mutual agreement requiring you to share it,

So what would the "Holy Grail" of Pick 3 playing be?Reply
Tia, and WinD, and GaryO: I like your cold-reality reasoning. It's something I always fall back on myself, and for all that the algorithmic secret hand may be at play, it is amazing how the constant play of the game seems to usually conform to standard results consistent with random probability. No pool of any kind could be mechanically perfect: you don't get a pool of ten numbers out of one hundred paying off every tenth time, bam bam bam bam bam. That would be a fixed game. So, one would ex

Lottery PoolsReply
Do you play in a lottery pool? Yes sometimes. If so, how many people are in your pool? Usually about 10. We have one member that comes in once in a while How do you handle signups/payments/sending copies of tickets? We just make copies of the tickets for everybody in it and then hang one copy on the office fridge with the names of everybody in the latest pool and how much they contributed. We have never won anything haha. Do you have a legal agreement in place? No. only the tickets pre

Believe it or not, I use a little bit of strategy for the office pool. I pick the PB, and do partial QP's for the white balls. We have enough players in the pool to generate enough lines that I can play almost every PB. Usually (but not always) that gives us two free lines the next time we play, because we won 4 bucks for having the PB. That does present a small problem though. The pool has been growing in popularity. Word has spread about it, and every few weeks or so, a new face approach

Connecticut Powerball mystery deepensReply
The key to this whole thing is the $1.00 ticket. Three wealthy guys pooled their money to buy a $1.00 ticket???? How believeable is that? I dont care how much money any of them has. The guy who spent the buck just aint gonna share 104 million dollars with his co-workers. Nobody is going to convince me his attitude wouldn't be It was my dollar, and I won it ! And he'd be correct in his thinking!!! Along with that, consider the fact that most money handling professionals will tell you that work

No we did not use the same numbers every draw. We did quick picks. I decided to leave the pool because I disagreed with a few things I saw happening within the group. For instance, I noticed that certain people in the group could select numbers to play if they wanted to but when others asked they received a solid no. I also noticed that certain people were allowed to pay for other members but if you were not one of the favorites then you could not pay for someone else that week. But what helped
