Why not put all your eggs in one basket and if that number is chosen have a much better chance than the average scattershot QPplayer? There may be a flaw in this logic, but it makes sense to me. All you are doing is making it easier to check your numbers. You make that clear in your statement, IF that number is chosen . Obviously the converse is true: If that numberis not chosen you have zero chance of winning.Any combination of numbers is equally likely to be drawn as any other combination.It... [ More ]

Big game breaks all laws of probability as there was only a 10 % chance that no player would come forward with a winning ticket What's the cutoff for breaking all the laws of probablitity? Is it right at 90% coverage? Or something lower? Maybe 51%? I'd really like to know that point since, obviously, once it is reached it is equivalent to 100%. Well, let's see. We've now reached X per cent coverage. That means we have to have a winner. There's no chance of not having one.... [ More ]

The Big Game is not fixed! People have won just 5 million with the Big Game. The reason there is no winner, is because nobody has picked the Big Money Ball correctly

10% isn't all that unlikely. Where did you find out that 90% of the combinations were covered

It is against the odds that 44 tickets would have the first 5 numbers andnot one of them had the bonus number 6. They had 44 tickets to coverall 36 numbers but somehow didn't do it. Not inconceivable, but unlikely.Hmmm. The point is moot now because the BG is ending, but I've come to thinkthe best strategy is to make it a 1 in 36 game by picking the same BG numberon every ticket and varying the first 5. If your BG number comes up,you will at least recoup your entire investment and then as a big... [ More ]

Mega Millions 2nd prize will be $175,000. You think they should have made it 200k

Pat, Now you're beginning to catch on...As far as I'm concern,the quick pik game are mostly duds and every now and then a winner may show up but Itruely believe the quick piks are a collective pool of numbers designed forthe purpose of keeping players from conjesting the Big Games 76 million +combinations.In fact you may find that lotteries have many built in safe-guards to avoid outside manipulation.As you know,you can play many,manycombinations and the prizes are just to much even for one winn...

Many combinations were duplicated. It's virtually impossible to have all the six-number combos covered unless lottery terminals are programmed to give players who want quick-picks selections that are not covered yet for the next drawing.

If there are 76,000,000 possible combinations for the Big Game and there were over 100,000,000 tickets sold, why no winner? Big game execs will make more money in the next 3 days then they would have in the next 5 months if winning ticket was sold last night. Blatant completion of fraud completed, you suckers keep getting reeled in like the flounder. Wise up people.
