Here in MD. we had a straight repeat in 8 draws this past week, what are the odds of that? Some will say 1 in 10000, I say *%^%((*&!!!!!!

After tracking numbers for so many years they pull this stunt without player input, to save money....

Welp, sadly the people gave away their say, the Lottery said, we are doing this to save you money, well increase the prizes then.

The 2 & 3 digit repeats in each game have been off the charts this year too with the RNG.
The P3 and P4 have been around since 7/76 and 4/83 and NOW the ball drawings are too expensive? Well I think they can afford it. Check out the revenue numbers.

GR, WOW! TY for that excellent info!!

They are double dipping on the $600+ prizes by taking state taxes, maybe they should end that. $650M to state coffers..........that prize money to players is deceptive.

YW. It was right from a link on the Md website.
Md gets 8.95% on your winners over $600 which is #2 in the US on the initial take. DC is #1 @ 10.75%
In the MM & PB games some states add additional state taxes after the initial take, which is then the final rate.  In those games Md is tied for 7th highest @ the 8.95%. NY is #1 @ 10.9% It's more in NYC.
I don't know if other states take the additional taxes on the Pick 4 or not. I would think the additional taxes would only apply to jackpot games because you would then be in a much higher tax bracket. But then I'm not an accountant. lol
