I just hope they don't go mess it up because anymore it seems like when they flash better odds and more draws for a game normally there are strings attached that puts a negative spin on the game.

Actually, even if you bought 50,000 tickets per week for the next 70 years it wouldn't sway the odds in your favor.

You are most likely correct in the part of the jackpot only winner(s).

Rebecca loves this type of logic because it's the reason MM and PB both sell millions of losing tickets every drawing. MM has a possible 258,890,850 combinations and only one will be drawn. Keep on telling players to buy more tickets to improve their chances, but at least be honest ethical and tell them what those extra chances really mean.

It depends on how you look at it, but I was comparing 15 tickets all with different bonus numbers with 15 tickets with the same bonus number. The odds of picking the correct bonus number is 1 in 15 so if any of the other 14 bonus numbers are drawn, it's impossible to win the jackpot.

If someone has an issue with the way I explain something, they can always ask for clarification. I am not going to dumb down my posts for your sake. Every one of your responses to me is either a nitpicking of the information I provide or lame accusation of ulterior motives. Odds and chances are exactly the same thing, just different ways of expressing it. I can say that I have 2 chances to win out of 10 or odds of 1 in 5. I can say I have a 20% chance of winning or odds of 2 in 10 or odds of 1 i... [ More ]

THE CLASSIC LOTTERY POST DEBATE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHANCES AND ODDS HAS STARTED. LOL

Oh LottoMetro,

You're sooo desperate to try and dazzle people with you mathematical skills and inside lottery knowledge. So desperate to prove others wrong and LottoMetro right. Funny...and sad.

And you yourself took things out of context, as Thrifty was referring to odds in the jargon of lottery players, but you come in and talk a different context. But in neither lottery nor gambling nor mathematical contexts does chances = odds, don't know where you get that from laser brain.

You're... [ More ]

Why am I not surprised you took my comments out of context by only posting one of my sentences? So desperate to use the word incorrect, obviously.

Of course I am referring to it in the context of the lottery. In this case, probability is just a different way of expressing the odds. It makes no sense to explain the traditional sense of odds here because it is not being used in that context. I've posted before that traditional aka gambling odds and lottery odds are not the same. But that is bes... [ More ]

So odds, chances, and probability in lotteries are exactly the same.

Incorrect.

Odds, probability and chances are all different things.

odds = chances for : chances against (or x to y)

probability = chances for / total chances (or x in y)

Using your example, probability of 1 in 10 or 1/10, can also be expressed as odds of 1 to 9 or 1:9. It is the lottery industry in which there are blurred lines between odds and probability, labelling probability as odds for simplicity.

Chances and Odds are two different things in lottery games.

Actually, they are exactly the same. It's easier to think about it in terms of probability of winning. If the odds of winning are 1 in 10, then you have a 0.10 or 10% chance of winning (found by dividing 1 into 10). If you buy two tickets, each with odds of 1 in 10, then your odds of winning are 2 in 10 or reduced to 1 in 5 (result is same either way). That gives you a 0.20 or 20% chance of winning. Again, this assumes each combinat... [ More ]

The odds of winning a lottery jackpot is the matrix equation of every lottery game. Chances and Odds are two different things in lottery games.

For example: Odds of winning the Mega Millions are 1 in 176 Million. Odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 259 Million. You can only change the odds of winning by changing the games matrices.

It only takes 1 lottery ticket to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot. Buying an extra ticket increases your chances of winning to 2 in 259 Million for Mega Millions and 2 in 176 Million for Powerball. LOL

If we get 15 tickets each with a different bonus number, we still only have one chance to win the jackpot because 14 of the tickets won't match the bonus number.

No, you still have 15 chances to win the jackpot. The jackpot can be any one of those bonus numbers. It's the same whether you choose 15 different bonus numbers or 1 bonus number 15 times. Think of each line as a separate combination. Now, if you choose 15 lines that are exactly the same, then of course you only have one chance. But... [ More ]

To win a MM jackpot we must match the bonus number so sometimes buying more tickets doesn't really increase our chances. If we get 15 tickets each with a different bonus number, we still only have one chance to win the jackpot because 14 of the tickets won't match the bonus number.

Lots of players use the Megaplier option and how the bonus numbers are selected does have an effect on the payoffs and the overall chances of winning some prizes. It's almost like playing against yourself by using... [ More ]

BUYING MULTIPLE LOTTERY TICKETS PER DRAWING INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT. GOOD LUCK.
