how to calculate the odds of thisReply
mylot It depends on what odds your looking for. NY take-5 is a 5-39 game so 29.6% of the numbers equal 11.5. This would mean you are playing a different game because you can't have 11.5 numbers so for this I will use 11. There are 462 sets of 5 in 11 numbers and 575757 sets of 5 in 39 so 575757/462=1246.2 so your odds would be 1 in 1246 if you play all 462 combos. If you are using conditional odds where you think all 5 numbers will come from the pool of 11 then the odds would be 1

Should lottery winners share with colleagues?Reply
Would I share my winnings? depends on many different variables. first let me start by saying; we don't let just anyone in our pool to begin with. a history of not paying on time, or not having your numbers ready will get you kicked out we have had many people come and go in our pool, and we get asked on a regular basis by an outsider if they can join our team. in most cases the answer is NO!... the main group has stayed together for 10 years. We don't have have a written contract.

Start your own lottery pool with friends, co-workers, or family members. Limit the number of people in the group. Decide how many people will be in the pool. Decide how much will be collected, and how often. Decide how the money won will be distributed. Decide who will purchase the tickets. Decide who will hold the tickets. Decide how the members will receive their copies of the tickets. Decide how often your group will meet. Decide who will be the spokesperson for the

Statistically Speaking - QP's and PP'sReply
Curiousity got the best of me again, so I checked the results for Tx Lotto going back to the last matrix change on 4-26-06. There are 2 draws a week. There have been 29 jackpot winners, 19 QP's, 10 SP's. Then I checked Tx 2 Step which is drawn 2 times a week. I only went back to the beginning of this year for time's sake. There have been 17 jackpot winners. 13 QP's, 4 SP's. Then I checked Cash 5 which is a daily game. Going back the beginning of this year, there have been 101 jackpot winne

$50M Lotto Max jackpot finally wonReply
The MM and PB controllers said when cross selling of the games was authorized that a third Jackpot game is in the making. They didn't give any details about the new game. Just a few hints that it would be different. Given the games offered now, one has to wonder what would a third game entail. IMHO, I don't think any game requiring players to pick 5 from 65, 5 from 70 or any variation would sell. I can't imagine playing such a game. I don't think there would be a big demand. Sixty seems

The Magic Box! Is back!Reply
PERhaps your right and then who are we hurting by trying? A great part of winning is the hunt . Sometimes the effort is lost by those who don't understand. I have a child who drank 5 gallons of pool water at her first swim meet . Her time was so slow, they stopped timing her and asked her out the pool. Her coach told her you are really good in the back stroke . Perhaps we will try a different method to win. THE next meet, she finished the race alone on the wall again. To her
