Father buys winning $1 million lottery ticket while wife waits in hospital with newbornReply
The expected value from just the $1 million dollar drawing is $40. If we had the odds for the instant prizes, we could compute the overall expected value. Depending on the instant prize odds, that could be a very high payout percentage Lotto. If so, good on the Ontario Lottery. A high payout percentage, which is good for the players, is rarely seen in the US.

Virginia man who won $1,000 a week lottery prize in Cash4Life says it's just "good"Reply
I am confusing this game with Lucky for Life. He won Cash 4 Life. Fixed payout game both of them. Avoid. The Virginia game he won the odds were 7.2 to 1 million whereas the Cash For Life game the odds for the same hit are 1.8 million to 1 but only half the prize. Makes the Virginia one lame.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
I don't think that will increase your odds of winning, sure in total most winners are in Cali. But that is just because it's the most populated state. But it's still only 1 jackpot winner per game! It still goes back to the odds of 1 to 292 million.

$1.58 billion Mega Millions lottery winner has two weeks left to claim cash optionReply
It's a MultiState game, all prizes are fixed amounts. Next to PB and MM the odds of not winning are the third highest. The history data clearly verifies those odds, it shows the game can go months without a Top prize and 2nd prize winner. Also for Life looks like it's really 20 years.

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
So gambling with the lottery is OK, but gambling with a skill game is not? Many times I have seen people scratch games at the counter, buy more, scratch more, buy more, etc. I don't see any distinction between that and pressing buttons on a screen repeatedly. Seeing a distinction between those two things is where I think it turns from a logical debate into a debate on personal choices and of opinion. That's where I draw the line. I don't like arbitrarily preventing people from making choices in
