These odds are killing me!! I demand another Mega jackpot game!!Reply
how about a 6/45 game but the balls must be in drawn order, make it 10c a game and u need to buy 10 games to play. for extra u can combo up your 6 numbers to any ordr instead. that should provide many jackpots, and could be drawn daily without going off. for a loooooooong time.

North Carolina: 10/1 - 10/31/2009Reply
NCEL knows what numbers are popular to people and what are not because they have a record in the computer system of all the numbers that were played and purchased. That is why you never see the NCEL pay big jackpots out back to back either. If the lottery truly was picking numbers randomly, you would see more big payouts back to back but you don't. So you are right about NCEL knowing about what numbers play most often but it isn't because NCEL sees this forum but then again they could. I played

Why do the folks in the East always seem to win??Reply
When the MM jackpot was $333 million, there were 3,661,221 tickets sold in Washington state. Without any duplicates those tickets represent only 2% the possible combinations and only 2.5% of all the tickets sold for that drawing. Combined the states of Texas, California, and Washington sold 39 million tickets or 25% of all the tickets sold for that drawing. I didn't do the statistics for all the drawings when a jackpot was won, but if around 25% of the tickets are sold in the west, it's prett

DC-5? Disaster.Reply
lantern: texas cash 5 has odds of 1:435,897 and if you are the sole winner the jackpots are usually between $ 22 k and $25 k. but, several winners can cut that amount a lot such as on 09/23 when there were 3 tickets and the prize was $ 7,124 each.

What Is The Best Day & Time To Play MMReply
I think the number of lines you play is more important then when you play. Only play what you can afford to lose and remember the odds of winning are exactly what is posted on the back of the play slips, buying 8000 lines doesn't change them. When the jackpots are high some stores sell more than 8000 lines and are lucky if they have a $150 winner and so will you unless you have a strategy for buying 8000 lines. But then if you had such a strategy you wouldn't be asking the question and you would

Texas Lottery announces record sales for Mega MillionsReply
It has to do with the buzz it generates. your regulars will play it every time regardless of jackpot. the others that dont play it often will jump on the bandwagon only when they hear about it on the news or from other people they work with (which usually happens at high jackpots)...so i think the reason is the attention the higher pots create...the people who are opposed to playing the lotto because they thinks its a waste (since they know the odds are so slim) will only take that opportunity o

2 lottery tickets split $333M Mega Millions jackpotReply
Retailer incentives are a huge boost to lottery sales. I know this because I know several owners of convenience stores that do whatever they can to increase awareness of jackpots, etc. If you truly want to gain understanding of why things happen the way they do with the lottery, you need to think of it as the huge business that it is -- not as just a challenging game between you and the rubber balls.

Mega Million Or Power Ball Cracked?Reply
yeah, i know you are right, because doiing years of studying and trying to roll with this stuff, i did get lucky at times, but i never came this close, but i am just working with one game at a time, with the new algi i developed, all i can say is we just wait and see, if i can keep a consistency going! i have faith! the guy above is right, that you really can't predict randomness, but what if this stuff isn't random, and it's fixed in a way we don't truly comprehend? then if it's not random then
