Hoosier LottoPrevious TopicNext Topic

The Hoosier Lotto jackpot is at $30,000,000 and on Wednesday I'm gonna win it!

The odds of winning Hoosier Lotto is 1 in 12,271,512. That's way better than both Powerball and Mega Millions.

Last month, Ohio Classic Lotto jackpot exceeded $50,000,000 with odds of 1 in 13,983,816 of winning it.  I played 10-20 lines regularly for two months before it was finally won and the best I ever did was a few match3's for $2 each. 

For the new year, I decided to test what I thought were some improvements to my system and played the 10 lines I posted on the prediction board on 01/02/2012 and matched 4 for $70.  Now that PowerBall prices have increased, I will start playing OCL instead of PB when its jackpot exceeds $5M.  Any way I won't be playing PB again as long as I can play MM for $1 a line unless  its jackpot exceeds $300M.

Until PB reaches $200M I'll be playing $5 per draw on Hoosier Lotto. After PB reaches $200M, I'll buy $3 on Hoosier Lotto and a single PB with Powerplay ticket for $3. I don't play MM that much. Sometimes I'll play $1 or $2 on it if it's below $100M. After that I'll start playing $5. I love when the state Lotto game gets up this high. I realize 1 in 12,271,512 is still a lot of combinations, but it's still way better than PB or MM. Plus, all the numbers are in the same pool so I can apply my system to every number. That alone makes it a lot easier.

You guys are lucky you have options.

All TN has is a pari-mutuel 5 + 1 game called TN Cash that doesn't pay diddly squat. Nobody plays it. Sucks.

DITTO!

Hoosier Lotto is now $31,000,000 which equates to $1,033,333 before taxes every year for 30 years. I am very enticed to take the annuity when I win this jackpot on Wednesday.

yeah good luck with that game, id be playing it hand over fist myself, 1 in 12 mill chance at $31M well maybe 12 mill after taxes and  converting to cash options. hehehe o yeah still  thats great odds.

good luck everyone.

I see that the Indiana lottory uses RNG to determine the winning numbers.  No wonder the jackpot is so high.

Ohio uses balls and its jackpot was over $50M two months ago.  Picking the winning combination when there are over 10 millions possible is hard no matter how they pick 'em.

I don't think it's so high because it uses an RNG. Even if 2 million tickets are sold, that's still only 16.3% of all possible combinations. That's also not taking into account that 2 million tickets sold probably isn't actually 16.3% because there will also be duplicates of the same combination sold. I think when it got to over $50M a few years ago, it might have barely made it over a million tickets sold. Mathematically speaking, the odds are that the jackpot will roll.

On Wednesday I played $5 of system picks and $10 of quick picks. The last line on my ticket matched 4/6 and won $39(4/6 and 5/6 are pari-mutuel). I recently made changes to my system so get ready for the big hit!

Do your system picks depend on your quick picks or are they independent of each other?

Independent. I recently came up with 2 more filters and have been playing with just those 2 for the last 2 drawings, just so I can test them out. With just those 2 filters applied my odds for a single line has been chopped down to about 1 in 1,650,000. So for a $5 ticket using those 2 filters, I'm looking at about 1 in 330,000 to win the jackpot. Not exactly the best odds, but still way better than 1 in 12,271,512, and for a jackpot game, that's pretty darn good. The odds should get even better when I add my other filters back in. One of these new filters is geared more towards matching 4/6 or better, whereas all my other filters are geared towards 6/6 specifically. I figured that adding a filter like this would help in the long run because the 4/6 prize is approximately $40, so if I hit 4/6 more often, I can turn around and take that $40 and play 40 lines of system picks, resulting in even better odds of hitting the jackpot the next drawing.
