Interesting article in Nov. 2017 MoneyReply
I wouldn't put much stock in this kind of report. It's like those reports people with cancer ate hot dogs, is not proof hot dogs gave them cancer. If the national bankruptcy rate is 1 in 55 and most home owners would consider themselves to have what, four, eight, ten neighbors? Isn't it reasonable 1 in 6 or so lottery winners would have a neighbor who went bankrupt? Ok, so the lottery winner bought fancy landscaping, wife tells me to go mow the lawn, I'm grateful I don't have to prune all those

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
This $5 ticket is intriguing for hitting $500. My mom might actually start getting one of these rather than the $2 tickets she plays. If she hits $500 before I do, I'm gonna be maaaad. Other than that everything above that in this game is a dream. Based on the print (without taking into consideration any extra print runs), there should be a winner approximately every 44,000 rolls or 22 Pools (2,000 books to a pool). I'm assuming they release about 5-6 pools per week in the games early li

Take5 NYReply
Sam, thank YOU! I haven't played C4L in quite a while. As to it's fate, I doubt it will go the way Sweet Milly did, only because it's played in eight or nine states now. So it must be working out, or the other states wouldn't pick the game up. New York needs to freshen up their online games... Take5 jackpots absolutely stink these days ($60,000 before taxes and they're usually split two or three ways) I remember not so long ago when Friday night jackpots were in the $100,000 to $105,000 ra

State lotteries losing revenue to 'jackpot fatigue' and casinosReply
Correct. A simple example is the recent PA Lottery raffle. $10 million worth of tickets offered with $5,089,200 allocated in prizes; ~51% payback, which is typical of most lottery numbers games. However, payback percentage alone isn't the end all be all, if much of the prize pool is allocated to very difficult to win top prizes. This is how some casinos can offer games, typically slots, near or even exceeding 100% payback and still make money. Few players have enough time nor big enough bankr

Question about pick 5/pools
Does anyone do or know how to get involved in a pick 5 small pool (like 2-3 people in total). I live in NJ and I often buy $15 or $20 everytime the jackpot goes over like $500k or $600k, and it occurred to me that splitting a jackpot between $600k-1mil three ways is pretty darn good especially with better odds of like 3 people playing $15 or $20 each. Anyone know if there are any small pools around in things like that with the pick 5? I would guess the only rule would be the

Keno Rules
Sudoku has over 27,000 times more possibilities than Keno. 5 Years ago a simple Blackberry could solve an ultra-hard Sudoku puzzle in less than 10 seconds. The only difference between a game of chance and a puzzle is that the puzzle has more defined rules. So, lets go down the rabbit hole, and make some rules... We're talking about a pool of 80 numbers, and 20 are drawn from it- That isn't the game, its the framework from in which we will work. I don't need absolute certainties every

Mega Millions last nightReply
Your pet peeve is misguided. The number of winner(s) won't be officially known until the winning ticket is redeemed. Pool winners sometimes jump out and start bragging, but it could be months before the lottery will issue an official announcement. Don't know why you would expect anyone in LP to know initially if there was more than one winner. But, who really cares? It wasn't me. Time to move on to the next jackpot.

California man claims $191M Mega Millions jackpotReply
. MyPieMaster, hoarder of large stacks of bills: I wish I could have won some of it. I like the no longer any more desires part. Well, I hope it was in a pool. But, does it seem like he may have jumped the gun, and went to cash it in right away, possibly without the Lawyer and F.A., which is how the media got his info?
