Please explain how a 'late drawing' changes ANYTHING, when PB shuts off at the same time on drawing night anyway.

The reality is the PB is drawn at 10:59 EST because contractually quite a few TV stations show the drawing live before the local news, and they also have to draw it when the satellite uplink is directly overhead. Ask me how I know.

Read Bob P's How to win your Pick 6 Lottery on Lotto Logix.

Same principles apply to pick 5. Interesting stuff.

i am not an expert otherwise i would have won the jackpot by now.

It the experts that tell us that there's more of a chance of getting hit by lighting than winning a lottery jackpot so I doubt if they ever win any jackpots either.

the hardest job for the lottery people is to make sure all the millions of ticket buyers don't win 3 dollars each,sometimes having a late drawing to make sure.

i have bought all 46 megaballs with the whitey balls quickpicks and won 3 dollars times multiplier many times.

You are confusing odds with chances.When you hold more than one ticket you increase your chances of winning.ONLY THE LOTTERY CAN INCREASE OR DECREASE YOUR ODDS OF WINNING BY CHANGING THE MATRIX OF THE GAME YOU PLAY.Mega millions odds 1 in 175 millions and POWERBALL odds 1 in 195 millions are always fixed against every combination purchased.But you can increase your chances by buying more tickets.That's my understanding.Some players try to change the matrix of the games on their own by wheeling a...

Your odds remain the same for every ticket that you have. It is not a cumulative thing.

But since you hold more than one ticket, your odds of winning have increased.

Right

On a serious note, i understand why most people feel that buying more than a ticket is a bad bet.The odds of winning the jackpot do not change regardless of the number of people.Your odds remain the same for every ticket that you have.It is not a cumulative thing.For example, every ticket you possess for powerball has the same odds 1 in 195,249,054 no matter how many people play. The mega millions odds are 1 in 175,711,536 for each ticket you hold regardless of how many people play.EACH OF YOUR

When the lottery started out in Ohio it was two plays for a dollar, so they probably assume when they changed to one play for a dollar everyone would start buying two plays for two dollars if they wanted to have the same chance of winning but you know that old joke about ass-u-me.

THRIFTY — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 20:16:28 GMT

PLAYING 1 LINE QUICK PICK VERSUS PLAYING 2 LINES QUICK PICK can be illustrated by the following comparisons

AN AUTOMATIC PISTOL VS. A SHOTGUN.

Yes the shotgun is the smart choice. When a shotgun is fired all those pellets that are crammed into the cartridge spread out, so it is easier to hit the target.The point is that when you PLAY 1 LINE QUICK PICK on the lottery is like using the automatic pistol you have to have a very steady hand.You might get lucky, but your chances of hitting all t...
