Powerball ticket-buying frenzy this week as game seeks to create billionaire By Todd Northrop This week lottery players across the United States will be pulling out all the stops to try and win Powerball, featuring one of the largest lottery jackpots in history, worth an estimated $1.3 billion. The Powerball jackpot has been building for 40 consecutive drawings since the last winner on May 31 , when one ticket from California won a $204.5 million jackpot. The ticket was sold at the 7

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
That explains him blaming lottery officials for his being a poor lottery player. You don't know that there's no such thing as a poor Lottery player ? Or even a good one for that matter? Even Kurt Panouses said in one of those BW videos that his clients all have one big thing in common - They're all very LUCKY I've got some trouble with something else you revealed about yourself in a different LP thread. You said you liked Florida's Governor. That's all well and good, but you're also ti

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'm thinking about buying more tickets, but the big question for me is how many would I buy? I posted above that I won 40 bucks (cash) and I did buy one ticket with that money. I still have the other twenty dollar bill in my wallet, so maybe I'll buy another ticket with that. For now I'm keeping my eye on the raffle just to see what happens. Sales have been slow... about 3600 a day, so if they remain slow that'll have some bearing on whether or not I'll buy more. I'm a fan of raffles..

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Wanted to update/correct my previous figures, as for some reason I thought there were only three interim prize periods, and there are actually four. Bottom line, 640,900 tickets need to be sold to fund all prizes to be awarded in the Raffle (interim prizes and Grand Prizes.) The duration of the raffle is 122 days, so sales need to average 5,245 tix a day. Based on the Lottery's figure of 169,906 tix sold as of 4/17 , sales are averaging 3,540 tix/day so far. Hard to say if sales will pick up or

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
I've been reading the posts in this thread and it seems to me that the consensus of opinion is most people intend to play Millionaire4Life despite the $5 per line price tag. In other threads about paying $5 for one line of MM, many players say the game is doomed at that price point. I think an important point is being over looked by many players. In the gaming industry, Las Vegas, MUSL and state lottery's have something in common. The house always wins because the house can afford to lose. T

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
I re-did the calculations and it's the typical draw game, in terms of payback %. But it is still far better than MM, in my opinion. Here's why: Probability of winning the top prize is just over 12 times better. $18 million (or the annuity of $1 million/year) is still life-changing money. M4L (Millionaire for Life) has no silly multipliers. You win exactly what it says on the prize chart for matching x number of balls. MM (and PB) is a progressive jackpot game, which is why it can

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the race began when Mega Millions ticket prices were raised to $5, the Powerball jackpot reached about $1.8 billion twice. Whereas, Mega Millions reached just shy of $1 billion only once. What exactly is the race ? If we're talking about bang for the buck(s) PB's cheaper price usually makes it the better bet, but at any given moment the jackpot divided by the ticket cost is as close as there is to a sensible metric for deciding which game to play. Right now MM's chance at $138 million

The Most Essential Skillset To Beat The LotteryReply
Lottery drawings are independent random number drawings. This means that past results have no influence on future drawings. You can analyze past drawings all you like. It's a total waste of time. Given the number of lottery games across the country, every once in a while, one of them will produce results that would otherwise be quite unlikely if it were the only game. Big deal. When lots of numbers get drawn every day, repetitions occur just because of the volume. It's similar to wea

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
What matters is their profit margin. It really does seem like a lot of people just can't figure that out. After millions of people threw away $5 on the new game format, I wonder how many of them will come back for more punishment Most of them, I'd imagine. They're only doing it $2 at a time, but about twice as many people keep on doing it with PB tickets. Hopefully the folks at PB are reading this and will not follow suit and destroy their game as well. Maybe the folks at
