The 3 positions are as independent of each other as the next draw is to previous draws... so 0 through 9 has a 10% chance of being drawn in any position. This extends from a pick 2 through a pick 5 (quinto) game. You can look at all 1,000 possible combinations of pick 3 draws and you will find 720 combinations where each digit is unique, 270 pairs and 10 triples. Even though there are more favorable outcomes if all 3 digits were different, there is no profit in playing 720 tickets... and the

Tucker is right... the odds of any 3 digit number combination appearing in 1 draw are always 1,000:1 You can change the odds by buying another ticket, to 1,000:2 no division allowed though, as it represents the ratio of possible outcomes to favorable outcomes. You can even change your perspective from a 3 digit combo to three consecutive games of 1 in 10, but the odds are still 1,000:1 in getting 3 in a row correct. The probability math states that in a discrete uniform distribution

2658 draws and no 111? Ya know, sometimes these things take on a life of their own and that may be the case here. Because I'm a numbers weirdo, I have a benchmark number of draws cold that I look for, 6904 . Where the heck did that magic number come from? It's the total number of draws where the odds of a number NOT falling is exactly the same as the odds of a number falling in any given draw. So, for 6904 draws, the odds of 111 not falling at all in all those draws is 1

Canadian couple wins $70 million Lotto Max jackpot days after welcoming newbornReply
The OLG states that the odds of winning the Lotto Max (7/50) jackpot is 1 in 33,294,800. I did the calculations and it shows 99,884,400 total seven (7) number combinations of 50 numbers without repeat of the same seven numbers. Thereby, there is only one (1) seven number combination drawn from a total of possible 99,884,400 seven (7) number combinations. In my view the odds would be 1 in 99,884,400. Not 1 in 33,294,800 One Quick Pick of Lotto Max costs $5.00. for three (3) seven numb

Looking at their prizes, there are are 9 multipliers... X5 - 1:31.05 X7 - 1:75 X10 - 1:105 X15 - 1:180, The level needed to break even on playing all 15 X20 - 1:270 X25 - 1:630 X50 - 1:2,250 X100 - 1:4,125 X250 - 1: 15,000 So the odds depend on which multiplier is assigned to which number, because the odds of the actual draw are 1:15. So look at it like this... on $1 bet the odds are 15,000 to one on getting an x250 AND you need to beat the 15 to 1 odd

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
The initial knee-jerk reactions are predictable. When people are actually in the store buying tickets and comparing this to other games they will realize that this is a decent game. There are some states where that may not be true but from Michigan I can tell you it looks good compared to everything else we have. I don't like waiting years and years for the 6/xx jackpot to get big and the Fantasy 5 here has never been over a Million since it started 20 or 21 years ago. Also in the years

Me : Can anyone consistently win the lottery? ChatGPT : Winning the lottery consistently is extremely unlikely due to the inherent randomness and low odds associated with lottery games. Lotteries are designed to be games of chance, where the probability of winning is typically very low. For example, the odds of winning a major lottery like Powerball or Mega Millions are often in the range of 1 in hundreds of millions. While there are occasional stories of people winning the lottery mult

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
There will be people that play $5 on MM. Guaranteed. There are people that drop $5...$10...$20...$50...even $100 on scratch offs. For the Jackpots MM offers $5 is nothing to some players, despite the odds of over 1 in 302 million plus. For comparison, TX $100 - $20 Million Supreme scratch off has a top prize of $20 million with top prize odds of 1 in 2,550,000. They are really selling those tickets. Me personally, I would never spend that. I very seldom (won't say never) will spend $5 on MM
