Ohio: 2/1 - 2/28/2026Reply
Happy Birthday, Bobby! Here is a little information gift for you on your Sun Star. On this day, the Sun measures from 327 to 328 degrees of celestial longitude as he transits the ecliptic. Without an exact time of birth I can't be certain which belongs to you, but if one of those two measurements means anything to you, such as a date in time, an address, or the birth date for someone close to you, then the chances are high that one is the correct one. Anyhoo, I use my Sun's measurem

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
For me ... I play lucky 4 life maybe twice a week (like it was mon Thur originally) when pb and or mm are below the 250 million threshold for me to jump into those games . Now with the merged millionaire 4 life and the three dollar increase in price .... I'll still play but only once per week. I look forward to the new game but I'm not going gaga over it. What will the matrix look like? Will it still be a twenty year annuity? Will there be a cash option? All questions to

Lottery Numbers Aren't Meant To Be RandomReply
the fact they pre-test in this manner is proof the numbers aren't random. I'd agree, except that we aren't both idiots. Those pre-tests are precisely because the process is random and they're checking to make sure that nothing suggest a problem that interferes with that expected randomness. That you don't understand why they do it doesn't change the reasons for doing it. I'm sure I can see a pattern in your movement from bed to toilet in stunning accuracy due to the fact you are in a co

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The supported jackpot is $69.7 million whereas in the previous run, the supported jackpot was $66.9 million. And the cash value is now 41.9 vs 39.9. The annuity value is 4.19% higher than in the previous run, but cash value, which is a direct measurement of sales is 4.77% higher. That may be an indication that as players buy in when the jackpot gets bigger the $5 price becomes something they're okay with at lower jackpot levels, too. Or it might just be because very high jackpots tend t

Does Lottery Software work?Reply
I voted It has helped me win but I've never won a jackpot using it. I base that on the frequency that I have won small prizes using it than my lottery playing friends do that don't have and use it. When people ask me if I think it works, I always say You'll probably see an increase in the number of small prizes that you win, but you're still going to need a lot of luck along with using software to win a jackpot. I learned a lot about the behavior of the numbers in two states Pick5 games

classic questions on lottery forumsReply
Studying past draws is a waste of time. Each drawing is an independent random event. The only way to increase the probability of winning is to buy more tickets. It is true that each drawing is an independent random event. Since I mostly play the pick 3, it is also independent by position. Also, more tickets is the only way to change the odds. But I am frugal so I would rather pick 1 combo than 10 or more, as the draw will still be from 1,000 combinations regardless of how many would be

I am getting harassed by family over a $5,000 lottery win. :(Reply
not so fast. not many people know what to do. 3, 2,1 a $5,000 jump in annual income could put you over your next threshold and count against you for the next 12 months and be very costly. It's hard to write posts about tax issues that aren't filled with nonsense when you misunderstand the basic concepts. Almost every state with an income tax has multiple tax brackets and regardless of which state you live in you'll also have federal taxes to deal with. Each state's brackets kic
