He was smart to play a bunch of tickets because he insured himself a larger portion of the winnings by playing more tickets. Congrats to the big winner!-weshar75

Rick bonus match 5 has a 600,000 cap. so in essence if you bought 12 tickets cost 8 bucks and you won all by yourself not a bad pay day plus it's a tax free win.

You get 3 boards for 2 bucks.

the guy that won the most played more bords that he really should have. he probably didn't read the back of the play slip.

I play the same numbers on two boards every day and have yet to win the pot. the numbers i chose aren't bunched together in fact they are a mix of odd even.

The numbers th... [ More ]

The winner with the most winning tickets win the most money. The player holding the 15 tickets would get a lot more than the player holding only the one ticket.

I don't understand the purpose of playing the same combination multiple times in a game where the jackpot is divided among the winners. You win the same amount of money whether you buy 1 ticket or 15 tickets. If this person is doing this on a daily basis they are losing a lot of money unnecessarily. Glad they won, though.

The numbers sound like ages of kids. People that aren't thinking about balancing the number range or who often play the same Pick-3 number multiple times do this too. Since the jackpot is (usually) a fixed amount it would be ok to play multiple times. I don't like the Match-5 game and MD's numbers are extremely difficult to download into a form that I can put into my program.

Lottery players sometimes prove a quirky and superstitious bunch, picking their numbers on sentimental value (a birthday, anniversary or just plain lucky number) and loyally playing the same game, using the same numbers, at the same store.

But would one person play a favorite set of numbers in the same game 15 times in a single day?

An oddity to be sure, lottery officials say but not unheard of. And that is their best guess about what happened in Saturday's Bonus Match 5 game which y... [ More ]
