How to Play Michigan Fantasy 5 1. Players select five numbers from a field of 39, or mark the Easy Pick box and let the computer randomly select the numbers for them. 2. Players can play up to five times on each Fantasy 5 playslip. 3. Before submitting a playslip, players should make sure the numbers and multi-draw option are the ones they want. Tickets cannot be cancelled after they are issued. The Fantasy 5 pool closes at 7:08 p.m. the day of the drawing. Highlights

Which gives me a better chance of winning a lottery?Reply
1,000,000 divide by 100,000=10 (this means you have a 1 in 10 shot of winning if you buy one hundred thousand tickets assuming no doubles) Benmas, to me, this is a silly example. I mean, whether or not it's true, the whole point of gambling is to come out a winner, isn't it? Any game that has only a million to one odds isn't going to pay much. So why would you spend $100,000 on tickets? 1 in 10 isn't that great either!! I mean, isn't 1 in 10 only a 10% shot because you have a 90% chance

In the ongoing quick picks discussions...Reply
Always there are very many more people playing quick picks than those who play their own numbers. Most of those who play their own numbers DO NOT pick their own numbers according to a SOUND system or method based on the game's statistics, that is based on the statistics of the numbers and their patterns. That means that most people who play their own numbers ARE NOT increasing their chances of winning, their own numbers are just as good as quick picks and have just about the same chance

MM's low salesReply
If the authorities did decide to change the game doubling the price of a ticket is probably a worse choice than changing the odds. The odds are already high enough that very few people take them seriously. Either you play or you don't. I don't expect many people would stop playing or even change their buying pattern much if the odds increased by 10 or 20%. Doubling the cost of aticket, OTOH, will probably result in a significant reduction in tickets sales to the people who aren't regular play
