Cash 4 Life tickets bought... not as expected...

You can tell I never did anything previously with this game. Power Ball, Mega Millions and PA Match 6 all allow 26 advanced plays... Cash 4 Life only allows 10.

No change to the plan, just have to play the same combo 2 more times... again for 10 draws and finishing up with 6 draws. I will obviously resist looking at the data until after 26 draws have passed.

10 plays on a $2 ticket is $20, so to cover all cash balls (1-4) cost $80. The next 10 will be $80 more, with the last 6 being $48. The same $208 that 26 advanced draws cost, just broken into 3 plays.

An upside is that any smaller wins can fund subsequent rounds.

Will also have to harvest wins that approach $100 to minimize claim forms if a 4 ball match happens (one claim form for $2,500, plus 3 @ $500... claim form triggered @ $600 and above.).

There is no prize just for having the cash ball, but the prizes would be based on having all cash balls played.

1+1 = $2, max one per draw

2+1 = $10 + 3x $4 = $22

3+1 = $100 + 3x $25 = $175

4+1 = $2,500 + 3x $500 = $4,000

5+1 = $7 Million + 3x $1 Million

 

Then there is the 9pm un-televised drawing...

Everything on my side is done, now the rest is up to the Lottery... again...

Entry #451

After the first draw... 0 white balls.
Not surprising. This system seems to alleviate the repeated disappointment that usually accompanies system play.

Probably due to the fact that I am tracking distribution percent rather than numbers directly.

When checking the results, noticed this disclaimer below the winners count...

NOTE: Top Prize will be divided equally among multiple winners. The 2nd through 9th level prizes may be reduced if liability caps are exceeded.

So, what exactly are liability caps? Is that like the occasional cutoff of a pick 3 combo in PA because too many were sold?

Anyway, there were 0 PA winners of prizes 1 through 3 ($7M, $1M, $2.5K) and only one with a 4+0 for $500. Only 19 winners of 3+1 for $100 and 71 winners of 3+0 for $25

This game does not have rolling jackpots and is drawn in New Jersey. Drawings can be viewed from the NJ lottery website.

The draw looks mechanical with no operators or witnesses in the shot.

9 draws remain in the first part of the test.
