US lottery operators worry as fewer millennials line up to playReply
I said in another post on the 4 draws a day in Georgia thread that Texas went to 4 draws because it's a canny way to increase revenue. Basically, they are selling fewer online tix, and way more scratchers. That's where the profits are really coming from. Coupled with millennials not into playing the lottery, lottery commissions are going to $2 a ticket games, and 4 draws a day to increase revenue. At first glance, a player would look at 4 draws and think that's 2 extra draws to win. The reali

Can't beat the state P3 Odds but maybeReply
Just some new form of good old Greed usually works! Maybe a particular state attempting to increase their own sales, and experimenting around with different rules and payouts will start it by accident. A financially strapped State desperately attempting to save their lottery and increase ticket sales. Pressure from the voters or politicians trying to get elected. Pressure to change existing legislation. A libertarian could beat a socialist one day and clear all the runways. Apparently, st

So, the lottery has yet to produce a single Billion Dollar Winner.Reply
Given the odds for the game billion dollar draws won't happen very often. In my many analysis I have found that most random simulations will hit within 3 x the odds. The 1.5 billion built very quickly as people went wild buying tickets. In two games it went from 500M to 1.5B which cut down on the number of drawings it took to reach that level. I hope that people come away from this record with the knowledge that more tickets don't really move them any closer. The only real way to inc

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
It actually makes sense I'm sure it makes sense to the kind of thinkers who came up with MMC and the previous powerball failure with odds in the 1:250 million range. Of course that's not surprising when their overlords insist that income always has to increase. The reality is that they can't offer significant lower tier prizes with decent odds of winning and still generate huge jackpots in a reasonable amount of time. I'm sure that every player is happy when they win their money back or

MegaMillions is ready to be won againReply
I understand what you mean, but I think the way you said it was inaccurate. Simply saying each additional rollover becomes less and less likely would be accurate, assuming sales increase. I think that adding cumulatively implies that the number of previous drawings is (and remains) a factor, and that leading with the reference to the 90th percentile makes it more inaccurate or misleading. Previous drawings without a winner have an effect due to increasing ticket sales, but it's strictly the sale

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
They're actually decreasing the portion of sales that go towards the jackpot, so I doubt it will increase that much. This is why I think it is staying the same. They have to be able to fund the jackpot and setting minimum starting/rollover points higher increases the liability during low-jackpot cycles. I have heard from yet another lottery that the Power Up is a completely separate drawing, similar to the second drawing in Monopoly, which would use your numbers from the primary drawing. Yes,

Texas Lottery suspends sales of Monopoly Millionaires' Club gameReply
The concept behind this game was not bad. I am personally attracted to a game that offers greater odds at a $1M prize vs astronomical odds at a $100M+ PB or MM prize (that you'll never ever win). This game tries to be too much. If it is modified it may be able to make a comeback. They need to ditch the Las Vegas show and use those funds to pay more million dollar prizes. Start and cap the top prize at $5M (fixed payout, no annuity) and make it much easier to win (1 in 30M vs 1 in 72M). Us

If you had a consistent winning system..Reply
I was in a small Krogers' the other day and noticed they had paid out $1900 'last week' in lottery winnings. That's going to fluctuate week to week and I don't know if that is a good, bad or average week for that store. The small convenience store not far from here pays out $800 to $1200 a week by what flashes across their screen. (I've seen it as low as $137.) Judging by that, if a small retailer increased their sales by $30 - $50 a week and began to pay out twice what they had been payi
