After the October 18th drawing all history files for the Mega Millions drawing were deleted from my computer. I switched to my State's 6/49 Pick 6 game and had to re-adjust my pen stroke filling out those six number betslips. It's getting better after two weeks.

I'm with rcbbuckeye....if I was in Ohio right now I would love Classic Lotto. We haven't had a decent jackpot in years and our odds are worse. I have a feeling it won't be long until they shut it down or change it again because it just isn't worth it to the player. I still like our other rolling jackpot game but I'm afraid they are going to get greedy and change it too. For lotteries as a whole, I don't expect things to get better because of the pressure for more revenue, and people becoming des... [ More ]

A 6/54 game with only a $3.57M cash, I feel you pain.

Guess I'll keep playing 10 lines every drawing until Ohio's Classic Lotto(6/49) at $54.4M/$25.2M cash is won, maybe I'll get lucky again.

Maybe when I've acquired some history on the new MM matrix, I'll start playing it again.

Well, unfortunately, Texas really screwed up their lotto game. It used to roll $1 million at a time, but they changed that to $250,000. So it starts at $5 million and takes an eternity to get to a decent jackpot (meaning 20 million or more). I'm getting pretty sour on PB and MM. I'm thinking about spending my $ on Lotto and dropping MM and PB but the jackpot is only $3.57 million (cash).

Ok, rant over.

I have always liked to play all the numbers in the matrix, but not in a wheel, in a norm... [ More ]

Lottrey works like this: say, people came together as a fishing company, they all invested money into equipment, vessels, and all went into the ocean to fish, knowing ahead of time that only one of them all will actually catch a whale, other few will catch some fish, the rest will have one tiny fish and most of them will catch nothing. Even if the catch is to be devided equally, company lost most of it's assets for nothing. This company is doomed ahead of time. The only sailor who cought the wha... [ More ]

You would think with the 6/49 lottery format being one of the most popular in North America, there would be some well developed systems out there just for it. With MM and PB odds and prices being key toward developing jackpots of a half billion dollars many 6/49 games with jackpots of 20 to 50 millions dollars and much better odds are starting to look more attractive.

I've seen wheels using all 49 numbers guaranteeing a match three but they are more than a hundred lines and match threes don't... [ More ]
