Some lotteries have full-system play. Like EM, you could play 10 numbers with 4 stars if you want. Takes one form, two grids.

If you play a wheel, you generally cannot submit a file or list to paste in a text area. It is clicking or rarely typing. The design often sucks too. (...) We are happy that it works.

A nice thing would be to be able to submit a wheel by pasting or if bigger in a text file. That would make wheels more popular. Who wants to click 350 combinations on 350 grids? The ch... [ More ]

Not buying more means that you will win, the universe of lottery numbers is very large, it is better to start with lotteries with fewer numbers to find strategies on how to win, greetings ...

It's a lot easier to buy 6000 Quick Picks then make up 600 play slips and find a store to run them through. I doubt most pools even think about wheeling their plays to guarantee a number of minor prizes, unless it's part of the sales pitch pushing the pool.

you can expect to win second prize at least once every 2,101 drawings.

No, you can expect your long term average success rate to be once every 2,101 drawings. You could win next week, or you could play 5000 drawings without winning a 2nd place prize.

And if you do win 2nd place in MM or PB each ticket will be worth a whopping $166.67 or $333.33 if everyone is spending the extra $1 for the powerplay/megaplier. If you win the PB jackpot this Saturday each ticket would be worth $63,167. Assu... [ More ]

Update - the person who asked this question is playing in the Jackpot App - with other folks from his stake - on average with the public pool there are about 6000 sometime more tickets purchase.. I as well as him was wondering why - they can not pull down a win at least a few third or fourth prizes.

P.S. He has been in the pool about a year...

Thanks for your comments and input...

The odds of winning second prize in Mega Millions are 1 in 12,607,306.

That means if you purchased 6,000 tickets, your odds are 6,000 in 12,607,306.

Simplified, that equates to your pool's odds of winning second prize of 1 in 2,101. So if you purchase 6,000 tickets every consecutive drawing, you can expect to win second prize at least once every 2,101 drawings. At 104 drawings per year, that would be 20 years.

You can certainly get lucky and win much sooner than that, but if you play 6,... [ More ]

6,000 tickets is barely scratching the surface sorry to break it to you. If the lottery pool you're in are buying 6,000 tickets I bet you are losing over half the money each and every draw.

Maybe they are not applying any strategies to increase their odds of winning, then again even applying some strategies the odds for Powerball and Mega Millions is still so high. Maybe they should focus on smaller games.
