I agree with you hypersonia.On June 6, 1991 the Pa Lottery paid out 38.9 million when triple 7's hit. No harm done with pick 3 or 4 games if you share numbers and predictions, but pari-mutuel big jackpot pick 5, 6, 7 games, thats another story.Play in a responsible matter and have fun. Chas

Do you folks realize if you all play the same numbers you have diluted the jackpot amount for yourself and others?not on the pick 3 and pick 4 games... I agree with big games with splittable top prizes, but giving out winning pick 3 and pick 4 numbers does not change the top prize... the dailies can be a team sport

The more people play the correct jackpot numbers the more times the jackpot has to be divided among the winners. Almost all pick five, six, or seven games are pari-mutuel. One winning ticket on a $100,000 jackpot you get $100,000. Four winning tickets sold, you each get $25,000.I'm not trying to bash anyone but for the life of me, I can't understand why people make so called predictions of future drawings. Do you folks realize if you all play the same numbers you have diluted the jackpot amount... [ More ]
