Thats true, I feel like it has to be a mixture of quickpicks, buying from multiple retailers, and your own selection of numbers you choose your entire life before you could win jackpot. Or right place right time may never know

I noticed that too! (used to play this game when I travel to NY). I think that will be the demise of this game. Some players will see that and stop playing, maybe enough for them to end the game.

How this state does not have a roll over jackpot is crazy. I was just there and they really offer some of the worst games out there. So much money left on the table.

So they did split the original jackpot amount. And it appears a lot less. So either less people are actually playing, or they just slushing it, lol. Each jackpot is now around 20 grand, if barely. Used to be the whole jackpot was around 60 grand usually. What a freaking joke. I mean if you don't see win 4 with odds of 1 in 10,000 as the only option to play then you need some glasses. What a freaking joke, 1 in 575,000 for 20 grand? Gtfoh. Take 5. Take it all or take a break why don't you. F it.... [ More ]

No... plus back then when the prizes were bigger my mother got five numbers and 10 other people split it with her so they was letting more people win the top prize back then also...

I don't bet on sports or races. They said that there is nice money. I looked at the played soccer-bets and the payouts were awful. Nobody won on it, it mostly was betting for a certain team with a certain score again and again. You could also bet on who is the next president of the USA. I bet Trump, won a bit, just played little money for the fun of it. There were not many different bets available. For the USA I heard of that remote viewing team winning big money on the superball(?). Here many p... [ More ]

Not if you know the right people to follow. UFC 259 Askar Askarov March 6th. It was locked. Everybody I know won thousands including me. And correction all I said was one. I have no rules that I follow. Except maybe just do it. No disrespect. But talk is just talk. Nice talking to you but I talk real.

That's because I've been struggling with why someone that lives in Europe has so many comments regarding a game that they probably have never played, and have absolutely no hope of ever playing as long as they remain in Europe.

Who's they?

Lotterypost now has 4 european countries' lottery results. Italy was added. I'm in none of those countries.

If you want to know the differences then you must look up the games and the payouts on Internet. There is not only the USA, you can play in Ja... [ More ]

I'm so glad that you mentioned Belgium in your post! That's because I've been struggling with why someone that lives in Europe has so many comments regarding a game that they probably have never played, and have absolutely no hope of ever playing as long as they remain in Europe. Is there a shortage of European lottery games to comment on? G5

But not talk, there always is a sure bet in sports at least once a year. No matter what.

There specialists will disagree. And I also say that there is this no favourite case. - You're like the guy that says that there always are 2 or 3 even numbers drawn at pick 5. We all say no! Then people like you come and say that GH has said it. ...

Oh, if you like to play and count cards there is a nice shufflemachine at blackJack, six decks, continuous shuffling when discarded cards are reentered, they are put anywhere in that card wheel, and when you get the cards to deal you get any cards ...

Have you seen that muck?

Maybe they go all in.

Speler ........Why do I get the feeling that you are a long lost relative of Albert Einstein, who just happens to live in Belgium? If you ever move to Las Vegas you could probably be the best blackjack player ever. 52 cards would be nothing for you to keep track of. To me math is like a foreign language......so I am impressed.

I remember way back when it was a nice jackpot . As the years went by the jackpot got less and less. Less people starting to play. You're better off playing pick 3 or pick 4 with better odds.

Comment #11

Soledad — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 12:54:37 GMT

I always heard it was 1 in 9. There is no dollar prize in take5. Just a free play. Which is either thrown away or lost the next night. 3 out of 5 gets you money back. Like 16 to 25 bucks typically. So in the end like rcbuckeye was saying, it's a mental trick to get you to keep playing. But if you want to play and want to dream I hope you do win. But odds of a jackpot are 1 in 575,000 or so, so you'd have to be that 1 person out of over half a million other people that don't win. Hence the term g... [ More ]

You are quite correct. I love playing the various lottery games. But I'm not naive to really think the lotteries have our best interests in mind by increasing the number of draws. It is rather offensive to imply that they are giving us more chances to win (which may be somewhat true), but it really is designed to make more money. Of course, they are in business to make money, and I don't begrudge them that. But I am offended when they blow smoke up people's tushes by pretending they are giving m... [ More ]

Your chance to get 2 / 5 in one game is 1 IN 23.

It takes 23 combinations to get at least 2 / 5 one time at least.

You play for $23 and can win a dollar. Your guaranteed payback is 1/23.

It seems like all of the games are going to twice daily or three or more times a week.

They say it's so the players have more chances to win, but really, it's so they have more money to make.

Even Power Ball is going to be going to three draws per week starting in August.

It will be Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
