Calif. state workers bet the same lottery numbers 10 years -- and winReply
I agree with you, Miss NYC and OldSchoolPa. The odds don't change if the game is the same. However, in FL where I play a 6/53 game twice a week, no 2 combinations have ever been repeated. Hammer1, like you I've played the same 4 combinations for many years. I often think of switching to quick picks, but I have a ridiculous fear of changing my numbers.

What is up with MM/PBReply
Powerball has been struggling since North Carolina joined. Mega has been struggling since it's inception as it's current game. Without a price increase or some other change I'd get used to the idea that large jackpots for either game are a thing of the past. Eventually Euromillions will hold all 10 of the top 10 record jackpot amounts unless they add Germany or some other large country without changing the odds.

Last I talked with the PA lottery they said they have no plans of changing the game. They claim it is what the people want. I personally would love to know who these people are, as I did not get a vote. I requested that they drop the game to $1.00, and/or raise the prize to at least $5,000 a month for life. If they did that, no cash option would not bother me in the least. I would also play more, and they are losing money because of the $2.00 price. At least from me.

Texas Lottery eliminates Lotto bonus ballReply
Well I don't think there is much of a chance for any normal lottery game anymore in TX. Even if they revert back to the 6 of 54 game or whatever it is I bet there won't be an increase in sales. TX has Mega Millions and usually the in-state game suffers. Changing the game back to the game that they had to replace a couple years ago isn't going to do much good. Brad

There are Expected Probabilities due to Randomization , these might not be completely fixed, but change with-in limits and be more or less Weighted at more than one point and the Weighted effect(s) might also change or some-what change as the draws Roll .Also as all game statistics are made and change within limits as the game rolls, besides there being lower, middle and upper limits, there are also Weighted or Heavy ( Activity Trend Pattern(s) ) spots at particular changing spots

mega millions and powerball jackpot pollReply
Megamillions only said the jackpot could hit 400 million after WA state joined. They just forgot to add when hell freezes over to the sentence. The Big Game (the game before Mega) was close to 400 with much lower odds but it had a much smaller player base. Powerball made the serious mistake of not changing their game when they added many states and now the jackpots and the sales have tanked. I'm sure some players will lessen what they buy for a while and sales have proven that but when a big j

LOTTO South Jackpot OverlayReply
Thanks for your interest guys, but I'm just talking about a good betting opportunity presented by this overlay for LOTTO South players. I happen to live in a LOTTO South state and I haven't heard anyone around here complaining about the game. You put your money down, you take your chances, and you win or lose. That certainly doesn't mean that the game has to be overhauled. Is there any lottery game in all of America that you don't want to change?I'll have to defer to your expertise on running lo

To Post or not to PostReply
I never post the actual combinations I play since I will keep playing them until the jackpot hits. But if you keep changing the combinations then it wouldn't matter. Also if it's a game you can't play like state games on the east coast for me then I could care less if someone won with them since there would be no way of playing the game anyways.Since some people claim to have the secret way of winning lotteries (yet still never won one for themselves) having them post predictions is a good way o

Wash. Lottery considers adding third weekly drawingReply
Changing the odds and the starting jackpot would be two different issues. Oregon's Megabucks breaks 15-20 million almost every year and it grows only 200-300k per drawing. For Megamillions to change the game would cost a lot less than keeping a game with poor sales. Most people play the lotto or megamillions so they don't have to work anymore. Sadly when you divide the lotto jackot in half to get its cash value it rarely matches quino. A pick 5 game should not have the larger jackpot on a regula
