$290 MILLION:" Mega Millions lottery jackpot increasedReply
Got back a few minutes ago, I split $120 between 3 different terminals. As I think about the odds of such lottery I try and stray and not let my conscience fully grasp the near impossibility of me winning this thing. But one chance in hell is still one chance and that's good enough odds for me. I hope I as well as other people get lucky tonight, It'll be nice to win all this money but I'd sure be even just as happy if more people shared the prize. Besides, who would want the the paparazzi knowin

Any tips on scratch offs
I was thinking about playing, it seems $2 tickets are best bets, though $5 and $10 have slightly better odds..but what about those odds..1:4, does that mean in theory you will win 25 times out of 100..I have seen players at stores get 10 tickets and win nothing in a row. what about rolls, how many in a roll? 200 games? if 1 in 4 applies there should be 50 winners per roll, but probaly 40 of those wins are for $1 or $2.?Should you buy more then a few tickets from the same game at the same time, o

Can't Figure CA Super Lotto OddsReply

If you multiply the odds that you calculated by 27 and divide by 26, which is the number of variations without matching the Mega number, then you will get the odds printed on the playslip.Aha! The Mega number messes things up. Totally correct

MegaMillion now at 280 millionReply
Even with the high jackpot, the odds still favor a single winner (rather than multiple winners).

Are Lotteries RiggedReply

If a game's odds go from 20 million to 1 to 30 million to 1 , the game isn't rigged because you will know in advance that the odds are now 30 millio
