"Predictability" of the "unpredictable"Reply
There are Expected Probabilities due to Randomization , these might not be completely fixed, but change with-in limits and be more or less Weighted at more than one point and the Weighted effect(s) might also change or some-what change as the draws Roll .Also as all game statistics are made and change within limits as the game rolls, besides there being lower, middle and upper limits, there are also Weighted or Heavy ( Activity Trend Pattern(s) ) spots at particular changing spots

mega millions and powerball jackpot pollReply
Megamillions only said the jackpot could hit 400 million after WA state joined. They just forgot to add when hell freezes over to the sentence. The Big Game (the game before Mega) was close to 400 with much lower odds but it had a much smaller player base. Powerball made the serious mistake of not changing their game when they added many states and now the jackpots and the sales have tanked. I'm sure some players will lessen what they buy for a while and sales have proven that but when a big j

LOTTO South Jackpot OverlayReply
Thanks for your interest guys, but I'm just talking about a good betting opportunity presented by this overlay for LOTTO South players. I happen to live in a LOTTO South state and I haven't heard anyone around here complaining about the game. You put your money down, you take your chances, and you win or lose. That certainly doesn't mean that the game has to be overhauled. Is there any lottery game in all of America that you don't want to change?I'll have to defer to your expertise on running lo

To Post or not to PostReply
I never post the actual combinations I play since I will keep playing them until the jackpot hits. But if you keep changing the combinations then it wouldn't matter. Also if it's a game you can't play like state games on the east coast for me then I could care less if someone won with them since there would be no way of playing the game anyways.Since some people claim to have the secret way of winning lotteries (yet still never won one for themselves) having them post predictions is a good way o

Wash. Lottery considers adding third weekly drawingReply
Changing the odds and the starting jackpot would be two different issues. Oregon's Megabucks breaks 15-20 million almost every year and it grows only 200-300k per drawing. For Megamillions to change the game would cost a lot less than keeping a game with poor sales. Most people play the lotto or megamillions so they don't have to work anymore. Sadly when you divide the lotto jackot in half to get its cash value it rarely matches quino. A pick 5 game should not have the larger jackpot on a regula

Quote: Originally posted by CASH Only on December 13, 2004Todd:Pick-6 Lotto is a MUCH BETTER game than NY Lotto 6/59 simply because the payback % is 10 points higher. I wouldn't mind NJ changing it to be exactly like the NY game except for the prize return.I sincerely hope you're wrong. Why the heck would we want a game that's harder to win?? We already have Mega Millions here, we don't need another game with odds that low. I like NJ's game the way they are, except for the Pick 3 pari-mutuel

PA Match 6 - It's a great game
But it's not without flaws. The most glaring is the $2 price. Also, the $500,000 minimum jackpot is probably turning away players. The casual player doesn't notice the fact that it's cash, or that the odds of winning are only 1 in 4,000,000. What I would suggest is up the matrix to 6/59, lower the price to $1, and make the minimum jackpot $1,000,000 cash. The odds would be upped enough that changing the other amounts wouldn't be neccesary.

300 million dollar powerball jackpotReply
Its not the economy its gambling choices. People have more options how to gamble now and most people dont play until the pot breaks a set amount say 100 or 200 million. News coverage of large pots is also low unless the pot breaks 300. Lottery sales are mostly flat for games like megamillions and powerball and as they add states without changing the game the pot gets smaller and smaller. I really dont think either game is led by people with enough intelligence to change the game to make larger p

Change Mega Millions?Reply
I have always been in favor of changing it since they have added more states but in a more reasonable way like 5/53 + 1/53 making the odds 1 in 152 million instead of 1 in 135 million. I dont think a big change is warranted. If powerball added California for instance they also should change the game to reflect the increase in the amount of players.Sales are what count in a lottery and big jackpots sell. Expecting a big pot for every rollover is wrong but expecting a big pot every 6 to 9 months o
