Every Lottery Player Think About This For A Second...Reply
I read what you wrote. I disagree that he cheated the players. He didn't rig the RNG to pick numbers no one else picked. He rigged the RNG to pick numbers that he picked. As far as allegedly rambling about random numbers and math, um, we are talking about the lottery, no? A game which uses random numbers to pick winners? A game in which math will tell you the odds of winning given the rules and the number and types of tickets you buy? What else besides math would we use to calculate our odds

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I wish we had a game like that in Colorado. We have Cash 5, which is $1 and odds of winning 1 in 200,000, but the jackpot is only 20 grand. We also have Colorado Lotto+, but that one is $2 and odds of winning 1 in 3.8 million. What I want is a $1 game with reasonable odds of winning and an accumulating jackpot that can reach 200 grand. Cash 5 is only a tenth of that amount and does not grow with sales.

DC Lottery introduces Washington D.C.'s first $50 scratch-off ticketReply
Seems to be not worth the money. Less than 100 Top prize with only 14 of $5,000 and $15,000 and 4 of $50,000 and 2 of the top $1.5 million. The vast majority of the prizes, about 24,000 of them are for $100 and $250. No information on the website of how many tickets they printed, but the odds of the top prizes are 1 in about 225,000 and overall odds of getting any prize at 1 in 3.45, according to the D.C. lottery. The Delaware Lottery also just introduced a much better $50 scratch off in hon

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
When MM and PB switched to $2 I moved to ONLY one ticket per draw. Looking at the odds I plan to drop MM now for good. I'll classify it along with the BS 2nd line in powerball or Keno by the TN lottery (read: I never play it ) the odds are so stupid. I doubt the odds of even the 2nd tier prize will even make it worth it.

Canadian couple wins $70 million Lotto Max jackpot days after welcoming newbornReply
You are right MRLOTTO69, Those odds are on a $5 Play. I Guess the only reason they posted those odds is because that's the only way to play LottoMax You can't just play a single line (at the increased odds of 99,884,400)

Does the size and quantity of numbers drawn in a lottery influence the bias of studiesReply
Texas Lotto is even worse. Jackpot odds are 1 in 25,827,165. 1% = 258,272, 156 draws a year like PB. One good thing is tickets are still $1 each, and current jackpot is $12.5 million cash option. But odds and overall odds (1 in 71.1) are atrocious. Swimming with the sharks.

Odds vs Chances
You can never change the Odds in any given game as it is a mathematical formula based on the given number of balls used in the game. However; you can improve your chances of winning in any given game by knowing what to look for. Example: Il Lucky Day Lotto. https://member.lotterypost.com/butch2030/images/il%20lotto%205%20of%206.jpg

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I too have had 'trouble' with what's being argued so passionately in this thread. When I lived in the Northeast, although I lived in New York State, I lived in close proximity to Pennsylvania. Every Fall The PA Lottery (for what I'm guessing is the last 20 years or more) holds their Millionaire Raffle. According to the raffles official rules, a maximum of 500,000 tickets can be sold. The PA Lottery has always advertised the odds for the raffle at 125,000 to 1 because there are 4 top prize w

The current odds of hitting the top prize in Cash 4 Life are 1 in 21,846,048.

Depending on where you live, the odds could either improve or get a little harder for you. There is also the difference in the amount won. I play Lucky for Life a lot, I will be playing the new

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Ok, now that we have the historical data posted, many of you can run your own analysis. During the 2017-10-31 to 2025-04-04 run of MM, there were on average about 1.81 5 + 0 winners per draw. Now, there are only on average about 0.53 5 + 0 winners per draw... hmm, interesting, since the odds are slightly better now than before. There's on average a little more than 3.5 times more 5 + 0 winners in the previous run of MM. Additionally, our calculation of the odds of getting 5 + 0 a
