Ridiculously low non-jackpot prize payouts have me fed up
Has there been any organized pressure against MM (or PB) to give some more respectible non-jackpot prize payouts? MM's 4+0 pre-tax payout is less than 1% of the odds. So this gets me thinking... If MM intends to keep my interest in their game, they must increase the non-jackpot prize payouts to a minimum 10% of the odds. The current odds, payouts (where applicable) and percentage of payout are as follows: 5+1 1:175,711,536.00 $JACKPOT 5+0 1: 3,904,700.80 $250,000 6.40%

Last day for Lotto SouthNews Story

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
People love to play this combination ==== 1 2 3 4 5. Every drawing people buy a ticket with that particular set of five numbers. But it's not very smart to do that. Why would that be? It's because there aren't very many combos of five numbers in sequence out of the possible 376,992 combinations a 5/36 matrix produces. While I don't know how many five numbers in sequence combinations actually exist, I can say with a large degree of confidence that there aren't very many of them. If there were
