Powerball lottery tickets go on sale in the UK on July 21Reply
-- My Point: Sooner sooner creates more 10X You nailed it. They focused on the jackpot hitting $150M faster, but completely ignored the reset. Think of it like a pendulum: Their Argument Your Counter (Correct) Jackpot hits $150M faster = 10X turns off sooner Jackpot resets to $20M faster = 10X turns back on sooner Fewer drawings with 10X More total drawings with 10X because resets happen more often The Math: If the jackpot grows faster due to UK sales, it might tak

Florida's Fantasy 5
I couldn't find any other thread, other than the 11-thousand page thread that's only posting Pick 5(Despite Fantasy 5 in the title). So I thought maybe we could have one just for Fantasy 5. I was thinking maybe there's other people out there who aren't into the bigger Jackpots, like Powerball, since it's 2$ a ticket, and the odds are astronomically higher, although quick picks are fun I'll admit. We can discuss strategies or systems, post our predictions, wins/losses, whatever related to Fantasy

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
