How can I calculate odds?Reply
(Ut oh, I feel another cut-the-odds-in-half discussion coming on!) Here's the flaw in this kind of calculation. It sounds good on paper, it sounds great! But there's only one set of winning numbers, not 210. If this approach worked, with a big enough bankroll you could cut the odds literally down to nothing. If it worked. Buy, each of those 210 lines of numbers is individually up against the same exact odds of 177,099 to 1 (one has to be drawn). The only way the odds would be 1:84

David's Pick 3 of the Day - Dec. 1, 2009Reply
New Jersey actually requires you to get ALL DIFFERENT numbers in 6-Way Box. Therefore, 3-Way box combinations are NOT included in the odds calculation. This means that out of a total combination of 1,000, there are 120 total combinations to win 6 Way Box. Thus, odds are 1:120 NOT 1:168 (266-146=120). 3-Way Box has a total of 146 combinations to win. Thus, odds are 1:146 NOT 1:333 I believe the States are adding duplicate numbers in different combinations. However, it only takes th

Listings of Jackpot > odds?Reply
goododds, Everything KY Floyd pointed out above, and let's add this, we can never assume a solo jackpot. So even if it ws one of those cases where there is more in the kitty than the odds against hitting it (happens in Pick 5 gamesa few times a year), if you did hit it, and have to split it, the payout greatehr than odds factor goes right out the window.

Would You Spend $20 On A Raffle Ticket?Reply
I'm with you, There's no way I would spend $20 on a California raffle ticket. I noticed how alot of the other states have the large tickets with cool jackpots like win for life and half a million dollars and such with pretty decent odds. California seems to find more ways to sell a prettier ticket that will generate more money for them but not the players with better odds. I have purchased the $5 raffle ticket in the past but never again.

How are odds calculated?Reply
The number of possible combinations in a pool of 56 numbers are 3819816 but odds are based on possible combinations in the game and when you have 46 bonus numbers the possible combinations are 46 x 3819816 = 175711536. Since there are 46 5of5 combinations with a bonus numbers, when the one winning 5+1 combination is removed/subtracted there are (46-1) 45 5of5 combinations left with 175711536 possible combinations and the odds of having one of them are 175711536 45 = 3904700.8.

When you buy a lottery ticket do you prayer that you win the Jackpot?Reply
Winning the lottery isn't about prayer or fate or destiny. It's about hope, beating the odds, and a ton of luck.
