would you like a third draw a week for powerball and mega millions?Reply
Actually two draws a week is too much, three way too much confusion. If they'd roll back to one draw a week I'd even concede to them charging $2 a ticket to keep the matrix the same and hopefully drive jackpots higher to attract impulse players.

Jackpot Value.Reply
Good question because i consider a jackpot to be above 25,000 dollars...I heard about someone winning the jackpot for their 5th time but when i saw it was smaller prizes like 1,000 or 5,000 and i dont' consider such jackpots... More important than winning the all of the state's lotteries is the movie Red Planet

Thanksgiving Travel - Will You Play State Lotteries Along the Way?
Thanks for the idea, FRBL. I voted for none, I'm not traveling. I'd consider making a trip to Oregon but I don't see any good jackpots over there at the moment.

Mega smiles for New York lottery winnerReply
Finally, someone younger and not overweight won. I was beginning to think jackpots were only for the older folks or obese, er, ah, I mean overweight.

Lucky Lotto Picks System by "Pete Egeler"Reply
Ooop! I was thinking this system was for games with big jackpots so my statement wouldn't apply since pick3 and pick4 payouts are fixed amounts. However, if you ever got a straight hit then everyone who used this system in the same game would get one too and that would get some attention. That happened with PowerBall when a lot of players got their numbers from fortune cookies that had the same numbers but as far as I know it has never happened with a pick3 or pick4 game.

Hoosier LottoReply
I know the feeling, I was coding this feature into my system for last night's MegaMillions drawing but I didn't get it debugged in time so I didn't play. Fortunately I use it with both pick5 and pick6 games so I can use it for any game that I play. With the Hoosier Lotto you probably don't feel a sense of urgency to go all out before it's won like with other games with large jackpots. For example, last night's MM $75M jackpot was won so I will have to wait until it's again large enough to b

Tenn. Lottery CEO claims sales unhurt by numerous errorsReply
Lottery officials said they found no evidence of fraud. They checked the names of all people involved in designing or checking the new system against a winners database and found no matches. that is not evidence that no one cheated to profit just because the winners didnt have the same names or same last names as the people involved. they could have had friends claim jackpots or a relative with a different last name.

In Indiana why be playing powerball?
This occured to me. Why would you be playing Powerball in Indiana right now when you have a game like Hoosier Lotto (yes even though I know the other payouts are crappy). The expected valued of a $1 is actually more than $1. When this happens you should play that game. I mean this upcoming drawing the jackpots are almost identical but one has a higher cash option and not only that has such better odds of winning the jackpot. If I was playing $5 and $5 on each before my whole $10 now would be

powerball draws being computerizedReply
EXACTLY. if powerball ever goes computerized they could manipulate it until it hit a 500 million dollar half billion jackpot.better yet if the game went computerized PLUS they raise the matrix even just one more time you could be looking at the first BILLION dollar jackpot.THEN mega millions is not going to let powerball get away with these insane jackpots.if powerball gets computerized it is a absolute given that mega millions will go RNG too.

W.C. store owner claims Lotto 6/49 jackpotReply
Isn't this what caused the whole problem with the Ontairo lottery or something like that. I remember news stories from before about how it was really weird that many store owners were winning the jackpots. Am I just remembering wrong? Brad
