Buying More Tickets Lowers the Odds
What's fixed is the total number of lottery combinations. If there are 13.9 million combinations we like to say the odds are 1 in 13.9 million because one dollar buys one combination giving the purchaser one chance to win. Fly to a state where you get two combinations for a dollar the total number of combinations haven't changed, but the odds of 1 in 13.9 million are 1 in 6.9 million because now you have two combinations in hand for one/dollar. In the s...

Pick 3 simulation

Filtering should produce no profit with state lotteries mathematically
I am not completely sure as I don't know much about statistics and mathematics, but according to what little I know about it, it just came to me that filtering pick 3 numbers in my particular way, should produce results which should be no better or just a very little better (Maybe from 1 to 10 % better) than by using random picks or quick picks. The above should be mathematically true if playing with the state lotteries using filters for straight with my filtering method. The odds...

something odd with the odds
The odds in a 5/39 game are 1:575,757 right? Well I surfed over to West Virginia's official lottery website last night and noticed their odds were 1:607,744 for matching 5of5 in the Hot Lotto game. 5/39 with 19 bonus balls. Those odds excluded the bonus ball. I went back tonight just to make sure. Are the odds in WV computed different than in other states:-? Someone please tell me cause it don't compute to me....

What Are The Odds?
I was reading an article online with the local classic rock station on and the radio jock starting talking about odds of things happening.

It wasn't until the last bit of information he mentioned that my ears perked up. I did not remember all the numbers, but I went to see the odds of playing th...

GA top 10 scratchers
Here is my GA top ten scratch games: 10. $100 Million Cash Spectacular ($10) This game a great for all the prizes under $1 million. Since there is no cash option with this game it didn't do as well as it could have. In fact the lower prizes helped it this far. If this game had a cash option it would be the perfect game. Only flaw would be the high odds of winning 1:3.2. 9. Big Bucks ($3). Top Prize $100,000 (not bad for a $...

Update to Formatting of GA Lottery Detailed Odds Pages + A Request for GA Scratcher Players
I've updated the formatting of each of the denomination pages of instant games that I've got detailed odds for on my Lotto Hideout . Each winning combination is listed on a separate line for (hopefully) easier reading. You may also notice that some winning combinations are in parentheses ( ) . These combinations are ones I thought could be possible, based on the prizes, number of times you c...
