any chance below 70% doesn't worth risking

you can also change your odds on powerball if you had purchased all 42 numbers all having the same powerball that way if the powerball comes up its now 42 chances out of 3 million. of course thats a big IF but thats just part of a lottery game anyways.

I average $18 per week (2x Powerball @$5 and 2xStupid 6 @4 or less). Given the odds for what I'm after, it doesn't really matter... I'd rather be in for each drawing.But as for the pick 3, I don't really know because I don't play it (but might start, on paper anyway... to check on some system theories).What is 6-way ? is that like boxed? In PA, they have a Super Box that costs $6 and covers one number in all possible combos straight (cheaper if playing double numbers)... If you are just refe... [ More ]

i used to play the pick 3 at 20 a day and have since quit. it was a very expensive habit. now i just play for large jackpots in lottery style games like the wa. state lottery, powerball ,etc and play a lot for large jackpots. i figured 10k wouldnt really change my life (since i played all 20 straight on 1 number- and i did win 2x on that method) but 10 million would change my life. so i only play for enough to quit my job permently.

Sorry about the mistake on the 70 x 6 way = 240 or 24% better. It was supposed to be---------------70 x 6 way = 420 o 42% better . So would you like a6% chance covering 60 numbers or a 42% chance covering 420 numbers ? So if its not a double or triple and there are only 720 6- way in the whole 1000 chart . Now you have a58 % better chance of a hit ! Thats better than the 6 % a day . Most people would rather do it their way. Is that

It is hard to answer yes or no as it entirely depends on your skill level wether you are finding hits with a few or a lot of numbers.It is always easier to test your skill level with monopoly money first.

I certainly haven't been playing long enough to form a vaild opinion (about a week), but what you said does provoke thought on my part. The 20$ a day I've been playing on the Pick 3 is certaily not paying off yet. LOLI think I'll give it a try, anything else you can add would be considered by me, no doubt.

If you average 5 10 or 20 dollars a day then you are averaging 35.00 70.00 or 140.00 dollars a week. Wouldn't it be better to save your money for a week and play all of it on one day the next week instead of every day? Using the Pick-3 for example. If you are a 10 dollar a day player then you are usually playing 10 tickets that are 6-way numbers or 60 of the 1000. That would give you a 6% chance of a hit. If you played all of your weeks tickets on one daythen you could play 70 tickets or 6-wa... [ More ]
