Only fools play the sucker games or limit their play to say all the numbers in ten lines balanced so most lines have a mixed bag of factors that regularly show up in a lottery drawing.Don't get so hung up on the odds of winning 100% of the time. Apply the birthday paradox to the pick-3 and you will see the odds of a box number repeating are on the order of 50% within 15 drawings. There are lots of things you can do to narrow the choices down if you look for them.I've found a lot of it is attitud

MUSL "Hot Lotto" $1.7 million ($930,000 cash) Saturday 5/4Reply
The Super-6 game was created in 1998, long before PA was given permission to join a multi-state game. The jackpot odds are VERY long for a single-state game- 1 in nearly 40 million. This game was designed to build large jackpots, and, PA figured it would be hit less often if players could not choose all the numbers. This is the _only_ US jackpot game with automatic quick-picks.
