Thank you, Pumpi, for the information.

That is a very old link, but I found the current WV Lottery site. Looks as if the largest prize won has been $25,000. Not bad, but I hope when I finally win a jackpot, I get back the money I've invested and more!

Well, if you're just playing Quick Picks, the Pick 6/25 technically is harder than the Pick 5/20 + 1/11. However, when applying a system, and comparing those 2 different types of games with the jackpot odds only being separated by a few thousand, the Pick 6 game could end up being the easier one in the long run. The reason for this is simply because of the fact the Pick 6 game is one pool of numbers whereas the Pick 5+1 game is 2 pools of numbers. The fact alone that the person using a system is... [ More ]
