Don't forget that Match 6 has three (actually 4) chances to win, so the odds are about 4-1/2 million or so

Woman Sues to Block $162 Million PayoutReply
If I'm not mistaken, the odds of winning MM is about 135, 000,000 to one. And my understanding of this situation is that the woman that claimed the prize has a ticket from a previous drawing with the same numbers as the winning numbers. Now what are the odds of playing a set of numbers in one drawing and then finding a lost ticket with those same numbers on it - and having the found ticket actually winning the jackpot. There is NO WAY IN HELL that the winning ticket was ever lost. I'm very inte

Yeah those odds of winning $2500 are more in line with high scratch ticket odds. That's what the state is looking for. Scratch tickets are great for small prizes, but crap for big ones. Still waiting to see how this works out. Agree with others, but nice thing is one ticket-many prizes. Win for life scratch is already looking better. (1 in 5).Another game this summer? Could it be Hot Lotto? It would be great to see what! news for me.

$2? and you need to match 3 to get the $2 back?... this might fly in a non PB or MM state, but I think they are setting themselves up for dissapointment... I'd rather play the Cash 5...You have to pick 6 and they pick 6 from 1/49...they are apparently already lying about the odds...no matter how you slice it, odds of all 6 in a 6/49 are 1:13,983,816they are apparently planning to advertise 1:4,661,272.3 probably because of the 2 stupid automatic QP's... They will never learn, I would rather spe

gl- I agree, that's why I expressed it in reduced terms. I'm trying to verify if my odds calculation is correct.

according to my calculator, there are 25,827,165 cobonations in pick six of 54 texas numbers.so, if i played another state with the same odds ,6of 54, it would be 6 of 51,654,330 combonations, right?so, if i played the same six numbers for 27 states with 6 of 54 numbers, i would be playing 697,333,455 against six, right? which is what i call raising the odds, since i will be using only one set of numbers 50 for fifty days instead of using 50 sets of numbers for fifty days............right? im u
