If you are going to buy 46+ tickets.....Reply
You're understanding of these games and odds are incorrect. Odds in Megamillions are roughly 1:175 million. This is made up of two discrete events. The white balls (5 numbers 1-56) with odds about 1:3.8 million multiplied by another independent event, the Mega ball (one nuimber 1-46). This is how the odds are calculated in this type of event. Eliminating one event (the megaballs) only leaves the 5/56 game. It's not that hard once you think about it awhile. In games with only one event (a 5/49 or

I can't believe it. So Close to 5 numbers on tonights PowerballReply
being within one number means absolutely nothing...absolutely nothing...you are fooling yourself...it is the outcome of an event that your are trying to predict...imagine for example all the balls being painted 59 distinct and unique colors...then you had to pick five of them....this way you would not think of the colors being strung in any order or even-odd or anthing like you think of numbers....it is the very specific outcome of a random event that you want to guess correctly....they happen t

What is up with MM/PBReply
If you think of the jackpot size as a random event, just as who wins what is a random event, then you would expect the jackpot sizes to be randomly distributed and follow a bell curve distribution, just like any random distribution. Therefore, I would expect very large jackpots to represent only 2% of the jackpots, with most most of the jackpots falling around whatever the average turns out to be.

60-day clock (cash v annuity)Reply
Back when Ohio has Super Lotto Plus, players had the option to change their mind if they chose the annuity. What I would do was choose annuity, and in the event that I win, and in the event that I would decide to take the cash, I would do so.

Mega Millions price change details.Reply
Wow... you're a real nice person. If you would have read the rules on the txlottery.org site instead of posting your own thread in the wrong Forum in the first place maybe I would have seen it... As I said before: Just the Jackpot is $2.00 cost which is the only thing that I GOT WRONG . For 2 lines and you win only if you get all 5 plus megamall. Megaplier is not offered for the Just the Jackpot. (Section A, Line 4) (Subsection I, Just the Jackpot) CORRECTION IS $3.00

A dollar and a dream true for PB and MM?Reply
The tix you purchased are all in play at the same time, pretend you don't know anything and read this: Lets try another way of looking at this discussion of odds, it hasn't popped up in a while so I will attempt another way to look at this topic. This is what JX, Raven and the Pac are saying and I agree. It is more of a set theory perspective than say: odds or fractions: it is much simpler. I am sure we all agree that each draw is ONE event, the event (Mega r

Maybe it's time to stop reminding everyone of this sad event, The Chiefs passing, and let KBcherokee rest in peace.
