What are the ODDS/Probability?Reply
Interesting. Looks like the odds are about 3 to 1, with the exponent increasing by one each time (2x=9:1, 3x=27:1, etc.). Good thing it didn't roll over again last night. If we think the odds of 9m:1 are really unbelievable, then 27m:1 is getting into astrophysics!!You'd almost think this was worthy of a newspaper article in Tennessee! Looks like this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime dvent.27 million to 1 and it Caves in..LOL Funny...there are Big dvents happening in little places all over the

What are the ODDS/Probability?
What if I told you that I could make over 65% of the Pick 3 1000 number chartdisappear for over 2 weeks? Yes .....for over 2 weeks. I could make654 numbers of the chart plus 3 triples disappear. If you were a professional Gambler you would certainly take that bet wouldn't you? That's 65.7% of all the possible numbers in the 1000 chart that would just go ....POOF ! No hits from this group for over 2 weeks. What are the odds ....or Probability of this happening? Who cares right?

Mega Millions after CA joinsReply
I worry that a hike in the Mega Millions odds will mean a migration back to NY Lotto (and its terrible prize return).

Yes, California might increase ticket sales 1.5 times, but that's not really enough to warrant an odds increase.

But that does seem a bit steep.There would be absolutely no way I would take cash on a billion dollar jackp

Instant Game Prices.Reply
YOu guys want everything huh. Big huge prizes on cheap 2 and 5 buck tickets. Seriously there is plenty of demand for 20 and 30 buck tickets. Just cause you play small doesnt mean everyone should. I prefer to play only the 5 buck and 10 buck games in ILLinois as those are the games with the highest payout % and the games that realistically give me the chance to win a nice prize without amazing odds. You guys want a million dollar game on a 2 buck ticket, good luck, those odds would be millio

I'd certainly participate in the 5+2 game (if the tickets were priced the same as Powerball) with those odds only when the jackpot was $250 Million or greater.

To INCREASE sales REDUCE the PB MatrixReply
I think that a $10 million starting jackpot with odds of 1:18,000,000 would put lotteries in the red.

Time to change PowerballReply
That would raise the odds to 1 in 140,614,565 . I would still play even if they did that.
