The $29.95 Non-BelieverzReply
LOLOL. It's not so much the probability math thing he espouses, it's that he's convinced the lottery is cheating HIM, like he's special. That's just nuts. Two points to be made about that.... 1) Lotteries make money by selling tickets, and people winning jackpots spurs sales. If nobody ever won, people would stop playing. 2) Someone who is convinced the lottery is cheating him personally (and spying on him to boot), but still buys tickets isn't quite right in the head. Now watch.

Michigan woman didn't realize she had Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million for six weeksReply
I saw an email from the Lottery informing me I'd won a prize, but it didn't say how much I'd won, so I assumed it was a few dollars. Sure doesn't look like she was complaining because the lottery people didn't show up with the U. of Michigan marching band. Nevertheless - she caught it in time, so as the saying goes alls well that ends well. It's not like the ticket expired before she checked the account. Don't know if any lottery has a all winning tickets will expire in less than s

I can see the headline now..... Millionaire forced to institute restraining order against persistent young ******; Ministry of ******* considers terminating her contract due to bad press. Lol... Actually, I have thought of it, but I am pretty certain he has put measures in place against being approached by random strangers by now. I could probably get to meet him though all things considered. However, what would be his incentive to tell me anything when we are living in the same area a

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Want to see at just a glance the difference two drawings per day has made on ticket sales? Check the number of Free Ticket won on The Florida Fantasy5 web page maintained by The Florida Lottery. Every day prior to the change there were typically 75,000 to 85,000 Free Ticket won by the players. Yesterday there were a total of 75,000 for both draws, but 50,000 of them came from the evening draw. Twice as many tickets were sold for the evening draw as the midday. There's no new news in that

The jackpot for the evening draw is $122,000 for one player. That says the take for the draw was $394,000. $197,000 went to Florida, the other $197,000 to the winners prize pool. Sixty two percent of the winners prize pool ($122,000) which was the jackpot. OK, $122,000 isn't all that bad. But if you add $42,000 to $122,000 you get $164,000 which is generally what the old jackpots amounted to. And then there is this - there's a $25 promo going on. How much of the total take ($394,

Florida Lottery Fantasy Five going to twice a day--will you still play?Reply
I picked up a small brochure at Publix yesterday that explained the new change to Fantasy5. From reading it, it's very possible that the new additional drawing will not negatively impact the jackpot amount for the evening drawing. On the new FF5 playslip players will be able to select the draw time. They can select MID for the midday drawing, EVE for the evening drawing or BOTH for both the evening and midday drawing. If no draw time is marked, the terminal will automatically print a tic

I think it's very possible that The Florida Lottery is expecting a player backlash regarding the new two draws per day change. People don't like change in general and it's my guess that FF5 players will at first react negatively to the change. The Florida Lottery is well aware of that. (Because they saw what happened in other states when the other states went to two Pick5 drawings per day) What better way is there to offset the players initial negative reaction than to throw them a bone

A jackpot never increases with a roll down . Jackpots increase with a roll over. FF5's official rules were not changed. The only thing that is changing is the number of drawings per day. A rolldown of the top tier prize (the jackpot) is still going to happen. The official rules say absolutely nothing about the number of drawings per day, therefore The Florida Lottery does not have to change the official rules to add an extra drawing each day. FF5 uses a roll down , not a roll over . Me

Winning the JACKPOT: Is it Fate, Destiny or Luck?Reply
I like to pick my numbers and I have a system for picking them, but I have no illusions that my way is the highway to a jackpot win. Me too! But usually the best I get is four out of five on 5/39 games and a couple five out of six (20 years ago) on a 6/49 Ohio Lotto game. Matched five a couple times using abbreviated wheels possibly the lottery's way of saying it's not as easy as you think . I'm pretty sure Winning the JACKPOT , Meatman means the multi million jackpots and why I voted L
