New York instant scratch off tickets - new tickets with less odds to winReply
yup pretty much done here until july 4 when will play some red 7s and 10k a week even if NY makes it more reasonable and changes the top prizes to 10 top prizes of 250k for the $5, it would lower the payback percentage on cash king to 64.1% which is still awful (MMC is 64.2% w the 4 million dollar prizes for reference - the change would drop it to 61.8%) every game seems to be so top heavy on the jackpots - take those out u left w 55% paybacks on pretty much every game

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I haven't played a single ticket in nearly 2 months and decided to buy a few $20 Gold rush tickets after grabbing some KFC. I stopped by a shell gas station directly across the street from KFC and purchased 4 GR's and all 4 lost. Dammit lol While leaving the store I noticed a large white sign next to the entrance door with a $2,000,000 win. The story behind the huge win is amazing. (explained to me in detail by a clerk that worked there at the time) So a nice older lady stopped there for gas one

Powerball to end its run tonight!
Don't sit out this Powerball drawing hoping for a bigger jackpot because if you do, you'll be very disappointed. Mega Millions was won last night, so that means The Fix will be in. If you don't know what The Fix is, it's a conspiracy to keep lottery jackpots as low as possible at all times. There is a 99.99999999% chance there will be a Powerball jackpot winner tonight. The Fix follows trends too, so the numbers chosen in tonight's drawing have a very high probability of being birthday numbers.

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
The consensus @ Smart-Tech (Kansas aside, I think) was that nobody cares about smaller prizes and they only play for the jackpot in games like PB and MM. However, if you won your money back in the last draw, wouldn't you be more inclined to play again this drawing? That's the idea. They're not taking away the big jackpots that everybody plays for; rather, they're giving back small amounts more often to encourage higher play at all jackpot levels. It has nothing to do with fooling players i

Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
...players only wait for the bigger jackpots because they know they won't win any of the lower prizes. True So those at the Smart Tech lottery conference and pickone4me want the players to believe that their chances of winning a jackpot are better than hitting a lower prize? Those running the lotteries see something like that and go

Would this prevent you from playing?
So I was talking casually to a coworker today and asked him if he was going to buy any tickets since the jackpots were both pretty high. His response was that he never played the lottery nor would he ever, because with that much money he'd lose half his friends and half his family because they would probably expect a cut. It never occurred to me that someone would rather never be a millionaire for that reason. I told him that at least you'd know who were truly your friends and which relatives

Statistically speaking...Reply
Oh, I dont mind sharing. But, do you think it really gives people a statistically better chance of wining? Probably not, since as you pointed out many people do it and we don't hear of many multiple jackpot winners. The most I have heard of were three on some of the largest jackpots. Anyway, good luck, everyone!

And we're rolling...MM at 85mReply
MaximumMillions, I agree and will support a world lottery such as you suggested. Billion $$$ jackpots!! Mega Millions top jackpot was $656 million won on March 30,2012. Power Ball 's top jackpot was won by Gloria C. Mackenzie $590.5 million. in May 2013? I believe that the Mega Millions was split three ways in... Red Bud, Illinois: Kansas: Maryland .

Need a programmer for a pick 5 systemReply
You'll welcome. Any time the jackpot is bigger than the value of the number of tickets to win it, I do a re-check. It happens but not very often. Mostly happens with state lotteries that have odd of 1:12M-1:16M when their jackpots go a while without a win. Ohio's Classic Lotto(6/49) with odds of 1:14M once went a couple of years with a winner and rolled up a jackpot of $70M(cash $35) before it was won. I was surprised no big gambling group tried to buy all the possible combinations as was do

how, and where to play lottery in all statesReply
When I predict All or Nothing it only for bragging rights. I like to keep my prediction stats among the top 10 and All or Nothing is the only game that has a 1:4.5 overall odds of a hit. Why those predictions make my stats look better actually playing that game isn't any more profitable than playing other lottery games. Truth is most members don't predict for MM and PB for fun and bragging rights because they would feel stupid if their predictions won and someone else played them and they did
