How much would you pay?Reply
I would never pass assumption#7... I am not absolutely convinced with the results of any system that hasn't put $$$ in my pocket (including my own experiments )Given the fact that the 6/49 odds are so high that a 90% reduction is still outrageous (and the odds as displayed is not a reduceable fraction) I wouldn't pay more than the cost of the ticket I could buy on my own... $1, especially for another black box approach... and that would only be ONE time. Unless of course the system produced a

An Idea for Mega MillionsReply
I like big jackpots and if MM does get to $300-400 million, it would be exciting. I'd be planning to buy an island in the South Pacific next to Marlon Brando's. But I like to see winners, and if someone is winning $10 million a week, that's okay with me. I don't want to see odds changed to make it harder to win, it's already way too hard as it is. No matter what you win, even if you win the lowest amount possible, it's a huge life-changing amount of money. I had a Mass Megabucks season ticket

do you know the difference?Reply
luckycat, I totally agree. That is why I never play slot machines. They program the exact payout ratio they wish to achieve - which is not what I'd call random.If slot machines were totally random, then their odds (payout ratio) would be based on the number of symbols on the wheel, and the number of wheels (much like a Pick 3- or Pick 4-style game). They would never be able to increase or decrease the payout ratio.Yet they are the casino's biggest moneymaker.It is similar to scratch-off games

December: The Good, Bad & UglyReply

NY Lotto: 25 years of ripping off winnersReply
Quote: Originally posted by CASH Only on November 14, 2003 Even with its cash option, NY Lotto (now 6/59) just isn't worth playing. Matching three numbers wins $1. Four numbers have paid $15 or $13. The best way to get the NY Legislature to allow the NY Lottery to pay Lotto winners their fair shares is to stop playing NY Lotto.I agree. Odds to win a lousy buck are 96 to 1 for a $.50 play. But I have to correct you Cash. The percentage payout is not 40%, it's even worse. They retain another 2%

Are lottery pools legal in Michigan?Reply
I would like to clarify my earlier post where I stated lottery pools are legal in the US. I am using the simple definition of a lottery pool as mentioned by BobP in the previous post. A lottery pool simply being a group of people pooling their money to buy more tickets and thereby inceasing their chances of winning.I would strongly recommend staying away from any group where the organizer is trying to make money from the pool participants. A substantial part of every ticket purchase is already g

HOT! The Lotto Morse Code: Pattern 01234Reply
Sorry, doesn't even come close. The Lotto-Logix method only removes about a dozen numbers, a signifiant reduction in odds true, but only a forth of the playable numbers removed. The rest are filters, it is no problem at all to take a program like Lotwin Lottery Line Builder and enter the remaining 38 or so numbers and setup pattern filters to allow various patterns and disallow the ones that rarely if ever occur, which is the exact amount such combinations can be found in the game. Take away
