What are SC 5's odds? If they have a matrix greater than 5/36 then the games odds are higher than FF5's. (376,992 to 1) NY Take5 has 575,757 to 1 odds because their matrix is 5/39. Mass Cash has a 5/35 matrix and their odds to win a jackpot are 324,632 to 1. A little means a lot! G5

Ahh sorry, I meant expected value, not earning potential. I must have been tired when I typed that up lol. Basically I meant F5 has the best ODDs for a Florida game. Fantasy 5 is generally considered the best bet among Florida draw games because it offers the most favorable overall odds of winning any prize. It has a smaller, more frequent jackpot and better overall odds of winning any prize (1 in 7.58).

I hear you loud and clear, but I have a little food for thought for you. The Florida Lottery says that if you match 6 numbers on any one line of a JPT ticket the odds of doing that are 3,122,273 to 1. That's technically correct because they sell you three lines for one dollar on one ticket. But the reality is a 6/46 matrix like JPT's produces 9,366,819 different possible combinations of six numbers making JPT's true odds 9,366,819 to 1. And the biggest jackpot you can ever win in JPT is two

You have to understand something about how I play FF5 that I made no mention of in my post above. I think of FF5 as a game where I'm playing for a jackpot win due to it's lower odds. With PB or MM, I don't play them for a jackpot win because the odds of winning a jackpot are so astronomically stacked against players. Instead I play for a five number match in those games, and I add the Power Play or The Megaplier options. I've even been known to play five lines of PB with the same set of the

Thank you so much these little things that you see come out once every week meaning the angles the repeat numbers, hot numbers and a long overdue number. You put some of them in your picks,of course everyone's gonna play their favorite birthday number or something but you're guaranteed one of these 4 to 5 patterns come out every other day so learn to recognize them for example, my wife only played birthday numbers so I told her a few months ago you're never gonna hit the jackpot she goes why I s

A chatter in a recent YouTube live chat mentioned he won a four banger (4 of 5) on F5. He lives on playing F5. I replied four bangers are hard to come by. I hit it once without a rolldown prize. So I decided to check out the odds to hit 4 of 5. The odds are 1 2,432.21. I calculated if you play one ticket every draw (mid/eve); you can expect to hit four numbers every 3 years.

Another three bagger last night as I continue to break down that 1 in 103 odds of collecting three numbers ,what helped again? of course The Old 17-19 combo anytime I have a hint of it popping I gotta put those two numbers together. So here's why I say I steadily beat those 1/103 odds. I play 5 games morning and 5 games night that's 70 games a week . in theory, I should barely hit a three bagger once a week but I average 2 to 3 times a week I collect the money and this is been going on f

There's something I want anybody who might be reading this thread to know. And that's this - No matter how impressed (or unimpressed) any given FF5 player might be with the things I posted immediately above, it's still very hard to win a FF5 jackpot. I've had Gail Howard's SmartLuck software for 10 years, and even though my software shows me all of these things that a player can't possibly know if they don't have software, or determine very easily manually, I have NEVER WON ANY KIND OF

Chris, First, good luck to you. Sticking for years with a set of personal or lucky numbers has paid off handsomely for some players, although I've read that players that have won a jackpot playing that way have said It took forever for those numbers to come home! You're 20+ years in so hopefully it won't be long and they'll pop. Personally I've been playing the lottery for over 20 years myself. I've never played a specific set of numbers regularly, but to each his own. I'm a transplant
