is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
A very logical reason why someone might perceive that rich neighborhoods win more, alongside some fascinating psychological habits that people substitute for luck. The Neighborhood Myth: Volume vs. Vibe The lottery terminal in a high-end grocery store uses the exact same random number generator (RNG) as the one in a small corner store across town. Every single combination has the exact same mathematical probability of being drawn, no matter where the piece of thermal paper was pri

Michigan Weekly Breakdown — Fantasy 5 & Lotto 47 Trend Report (April 4-9)Reply
From some of the things I've read in the Lottery Master Guide book (LMG) authored by the late Gail Howard, on page 8 in the LMG it says: How Jackpots Are Built Lottery Officials Love when a Jackpot Rolls Over. Because it increases lottery ticket sales for the next drawing. And it brings in more revenue for the State. In the State of Michigan, from what I understand is... the lottery proceeds go into an Educational Fund to assist with the educational needs for grades K thru 12 in

Once homeless, now a lottery winner: Colorado man gets his $1 million comebackReply
It's nice to see the Colorado Lottery in the news. I've played the 200X game a few times. One time I won $50. He's been playing scratch-off games on and off for a few years, he told the Colorado Lottery, but only when he could afford to . Jonathan will usually stick to the $5 games, recalling that the largest amount he'd ever won was $20. ... I was having a tough sales day , and it actually paid off, Jonathan recalled. My reaction was total disbelief. Those are oppos

I'm done playing the lottery
I've spent $200 on PB tickets and plenty of money on scratch-off tickets at the vending machine at Safeway on Wadsworth 38th Ave in Wheatridge, CO. I didn't win very much, which I expected given the prize structure of that game. The last time I went there, I scanned $40 worth of winning scratch-off tickets, selected 8 $5 tickets, and when I hit check out , the machine did nothing. I asked the clerk and she told me to contact the Colorado Lottery. I did, and their response was that the retail

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Since the race began when Mega Millions ticket prices were raised to $5, the Powerball jackpot reached about $1.8 billion twice. Whereas, Mega Millions reached just shy of $1 billion only once. What exactly is the race ? If we're talking about bang for the buck(s) PB's cheaper price usually makes it the better bet, but at any given moment the jackpot divided by the ticket cost is as close as there is to a sensible metric for deciding which game to play. Right now MM's chance at $138 million

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot won by a single lottery ticket sold in ArkansasReply
Would've preferred it to have set new record myself.... I suspect that nobody is more unhappy about having a winner on Wednesday that the people at PB. Not only would a rollover have let them boat about a (possibly legitimate) new record, their 50% take for Saturday's sales would probably have been on the order of $200 million more than what it will be for a $20 million jackpot. It appears that all 292.2 million combination of tickets were sold out. The jackpot keeps growing until all 2
