As a followup on my earlier post regarding the New Jersey Lottery and parimutual payouts, tonight 888 hit there and the payout for a .50 cent ticket was $138.00.

I checked the NY play 3 past history for 2000, 2001 here at Lottery Post and I don't see 911 hitting there during September. However, as I recalled living next door in DE, it did hit in NJ in September 2001. I looked up that history and it did hit straight , 911 on Sept. 4 I think it was. The payout was $233 for a .50 cent straight bet. The box paid $77.50 for a .50 cent bet. From Jan. 2000 to May 2008, 911 has hit 8 times in NJ and the average payout has been $221.93. Only once in May 2005 did... [ More ]

Ohio like other states have a cap on all its games that aren't pari-mutual. Pick3 and Pick4 come up all the time when a lot of players want to play the same numbers. The only other one that ever came up was a few years ago when there were more than 10 Buckeye5 tickets that matched 5of5 for $100K. The payout cap was $1M and if ever there was more than ten winners the $1M cap was to be divided equally among the winners.

One player had 20 winning tickets and sued the state and the retailer that... [ More ]

I agree with you too, if too many people play the number it would break them. I guess that is why they do this.

Doesn't anyone here remember Nick Perry? That scandal basically was the reason that states put limits on how much can be bet on a single number.

Ohio has a limit on any number that reaches their legal liabilty if the number would hit. I think ours is $4,000,000.

TN has a cap, but I don't think it's limited to triples or quads. Also KY used to have a cap; not sure about presently.

Thanks for the info. I don't believe they go that high anymore. That was when they first came out they didn't cap. Ga had a nice lottery I think when they first started you could always win good money.

The highest payout that I know in Ga cash 3 was on 11/08/1999 when 888 fell... payout $21,596,000

I didn't see it the store clerk told me. He could be wrong. That is kind of high. I going to check it out from the Ga lottery. I've seen back to back triple that paid out 5 million a piece.

Florida has a $10 million cap on any particular Cash 3 number set and a $5 million cap on Play 4 number sets per drawing.

Where did you see that the cap is $20mil? I believe that it's around $8mil or thereabouts. I know if 110 or 100 falls in the Cash3, I can kiss 1010 goodbye for the night if I don't already have it in. When the plane landed in the Hudson, 1954 was sold out within a couple of hours.

I've learn it not as bad as it use to be The 1010 and quad are stiil hard to get sometime. I'm not the good at triple anyway the last time 555 came guys gave it to me when I got to the store on a sunday to play. My crazy reason was I don't see a triple coming on Sunday, well you no what happen it came. I went to another store somebody else asked for the same number. My mind was saying get one, but I was sticking to my dumb theory. I will never do that again

Coin Toss Right you are i had a guy that ran a high volume lottery machine he kept track of all the hot numbers for the day and played them if they weren't sold out. When i got off of work at 4 pm I'd go there and he'd tell me the hot number for the day I'd buy it.

Pepper Triples and quads can sell out in a lot of states for midday and evening drawings before noon. If you think triples or quads will come out buy them the day before or buy them for a couple days in advance. That's what most pe... [ More ]

Yeah, not sure what the payouts were though.

I'd also like to say that when a number is getting that heavily played word kind of gets out about it.

Right after 911 that next couple of years 911 came out in New York. Wonder what the payout was

I've seen at least one number shut out in Illinois, but don't think it was a triple. Maybe it was 911 or something.

Remember a couple of years or so ago when a college team won a championship, or a big upset, I think it was Ohio state. A ot of people played the score of that game and that state lottery paid out a lot of money when it hit.

As for the state only taking so much action on a number, as has been said by several posters, they have a payout ceiling.

The best move is simply to g... [ More ]

I would think that the lottery would have a reserve. What about all the unclaim money. You also have to remember that if a million people played they collected more than a million, because some people will be playing other number.

they didn't have it at first when the lottery first started in Ga they only got it when people started to win .the cap not bad 20mill but it can happen so fast. I have tried to play a triple in the evening and could'nt.

New York has such a cap on pay-outs and I agree. I would much rather the state adopt a plan simular to the state of New Jersey, which is to pay out on a pari-mutual basis. The winners are divided into the prize pool, the only draw back to this is that you can get and do get lower payouts some days then others.

The cap is in place so as not to bankrupt the state on the daily numbers games. If I am not mistaken there is a five million dollar cap on the payouts per day. I really don't think that... [ More ]

If you were running a lottery and a million people played 111 for tonight and then in a couple days a 1/2 million people played 123 and they came out do you think you'd be in business long running an operation whereby once or twice a week you had to pay out umpteen millions of dollars.

I don't think so!!! those safeguards are in place so the lottery can continue it's operation without going bankrupt.

Does your state have a cap on triple number are any number?

pepper1 — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:31:49 GMT

Georgia has a cap on triples and cash four once it reach that you can't play that number. I think we should be allow to play any number until the machine cut off.
