I don't know why anyone would doubt that 100 tickets for a game gives you 99 additional shots at winning a jackpot than only 1 ticket. I hope this isn't going back to the debate about one extra ticket cutting the odds in half. If I spent $100 on a lottery game with 100 million combinations, for example, it do... [ More ]

That's all well and good, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions. How does the game work? Does 100 chances at winning $1 million mean that there will actually be 100 $1 million winners, or does it only mean that there will be 100 chances with a game structure that results in only 1 real prize? The former would require selling just as many tickets as it takes to push any other game to $100 million (assuming both are annuity or both are cash values). It typically takes 8 to 10 rollovers...

First of all, sorry for my rusty english. I am a brazilian guy with few friends here to speak with.

In fact these are two separate games.

the first one can be any state lottery that has once given such a prize or PB/MM. the second one I created a few years ago when visiting the US.

I Filed for a patent at the uspto and presented the concept to some lottery directors.

The interesting about it is that I formated in such a way that all it needs to be implemented in any jurisdiction... [ More ]

I read the question as someone asking 'if you had a choice of playing a game that had a $100 million top prize for $1.00 or a game that gave you 100 combinations for $1.00'

That's possible, but the post said you pay one dollar, pick six 6 numbers out of 59 and have one HUNDRED chances . Perhaps his English isn't quite perfect, and he did mean that you'd get to pick 100 sets of 6, but perhaps he meant something else. The rest of us can speculate, but only the OP can tell us for sure.

I would choose B. Of course I'd like to win more than $1 million, but that's an awful lot of money, so it would definitely change my life. I'd prefer a 6/49 game, although there would probably be a greater chance of splitting the jackpot with other winners. I've been trying to win a 6/53 game for many years without any luck. However, if spending $1.00 bought me 100 chances, I would certainly give the game you mentioned a try.

(By the way, your English is fine.)

A. I would like a shot at the larger prize just because the amount is a lot more even if the odds are horrible.-weshar75

Where's the rest of the necessary information? If both choices involve picking 6 numbers out of 59 the odds are the same. How do you get 100 chances for B

one chance to win $100 millions or ONE HUNDRED chances to win $1 milli

marcoviski — Wed, 30 May 2007 03:36:15 GMT

A) you pay one dollar, pick six 6 numbers out of 59 and have one chance to win $100 millions.

B)you pay one dollar, pick six 6 numbers out of 59 and have one HUNDRED chances to win $1 million dollars.

What do you prefer? In which lottery game would you play? Sorry for my rusty english.
