BTW - a normal bias is a fifty fifty split between odds and evens. In the last 30 drawings there have been 150 balls/numbers drawn. A normal bias would be zero if 75 odds and 75 evens had been drawn. But right now we now have a bias of 11 more evens drawn than normal. (The current split is 64 odds vs 86 evens in the last 30 draws. 86 is plus 11 to 75) The current bias of +11 evens has been holding at +11 since 9/14/2022 when it was +12. Prior to 9/14/22, on Sept 11th it was +16. (very ra

The game really had only one decent prize and now that was been reduced by this change. That normally $10 for beating 80 something to 1 odds was/is a joke. And that second prize which many times wasnt even $100 is a huge slap in the face for someone beating 2400 to 1 odds.....now beating nearly 400,000 to one odds isnt going be even $100,000 after taxes. I will be surprise if this doesnt take a huge hit in the amount of people playing.

FF5 is still a good game to play.... but players will no longer be able to win those whopping big jackpots. The odds aren't changing a bit. They're still 376,992 to 1. That's excellent odds in terms of lottery odds. But players can kiss those $200,000 FF5 jackpots goodbye. G5

Here's why it makes sense to play JPT after the jackpot hits one million. The odds to win a set second place prize of one million dollars in PowerBall are 11,688,054 to 1. You could win 2 million if you bought the PowerPlay for one dollar more per line. The odds to win a million dollars in JPT (or possibly more than a million up to a maximum of two million) are 3,122,273 to 1 . Yes, the published odds for JPT are 9,366,819 to 1 but because you get three lines on each ticket you buy (

Good luck winning it. I tried for years and couldn't do it. I tried studying the numbers and looked at it from all kinds of different angles. The odds make it near impossible to get much out of it. Now with lower jackpots I don't care to continue to chase. It takes near 80-1 odds to just win a small dollar amount prize. Getting 4 numbers is very rare and all 5 seems a lot harder than what the odds say.

Today when I bought my JPT tickets I looked at the back of the play slip to see what the odds are of winning a jackpot. For some reason I was thinking they were approximately 9 million to 1. Not so! Because you get three lines on each ticket, the odds are approximately 3 million to 1. That's not too bad odds to win 2 million. I'll still wait for the jackpot to get to at least 1 million before I play, but if I have to play a game that draws six numbers, I'll take JPT every time. G5

Not that anybody cares, but I thought I'd share my thoughts on playing PowerBall. I don't play the game very often because the odds are ridiculous. I'd rather play a lottery game that players actually have a decent shot at winning. All lottery games carry very long odds so I prefer to get some bang for my lottery playing buck. While I was living in New York, I lived fairly close to The Pennsylvania border so I used to play The annual Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle. The odds were 125,000 to

The fact that JPT's maximum jackpot has rolled over five or six times even with a promo in place tells me that Florida lottery players just dont have much interest in the game, and they probably aren't paying attention to the advertised jackpot either. I understand why they feel that way especially when JPT is at its lower jackpot amounts. If you played PowerBall instead, and added the Power Play option, which would cost a total of 3 dollars, and you matched 5 numbers you'd win two million d

You know here's my point and you have to really look at it this way you've been breaking the odds of one in every 102 games getting these three number hits even anytime you put the odds in your favor. it's an incredible advantage ,think of it as playing blackjack at the casino. The house no longer has an advantage. You now have the advantage. Let's keep it up guys and get some big ones.

Just to show you how often all odd's or all evens is drawn, there have been five times in 2022 (out of 262 drawings) where all odds were drawn and 4 times when all evens were drawn. It makes the most sense to play 3 odd/2 even or 2 odd/3 even. I went heavy on the odds today, but I doubt 5 odds will be drawn tonight. G5
