Take5 NYReply
I've tried Caspernina's method with Florida Fantasy5 many times..... But without much success! Could be that Fantasy5's 5/36 matrix as opposed to Take5's 5/39 matrix has something to do with that. But playing Repeaters and Adjacents is a good strategy with Fantasy5 as Repeaters are drawn in almost 50% of all drawings and Adjacents appear quite often too. The big problem with Fantasy5 is the low pay outs for a 3 out of 5 match. It's 10 bucks if you're lucky and it's about $125 for a f

Not for nuthin', but the addition of the midday drawing has changed the characteristics of FF5 with regard to the number of times a hot number hits. I made an Excel spreadsheet for FF5 that goes back to 2002. It shows the number of hits that the hottest number of each year had which fall into a range of 61 to 68. By June 30th of any given year I could easily see which number was going to end the year as the hottest number because it had 31 to 34 hits on June 30th. So I'd give extra play to t

The average jackpot won is $720,121. There have been 14 jackpots won that were greater than one million dollars. The largest jackpot was $1,741,274 and the smallest was $160,711. Three players out of the 52 jackpot winners chose The Annual Payment Option, the other 49 jackpot winners took

Only just this morning did I realize something that I should have known since the day I found out that FF5 was going to two draws per day. Talk about DUMB! Of course, The Florida added the midday draw simply to increase falling FF5 revenue. If I had complained directly to them about it, I'm sure they'd have said There won't be any FF5 at all if we don't do it. My reaction to what they did has been to walk away from the game...temporarily at least. I still look at FF5 numbers in my software a

Above I wrote I think either #12 or #16 has one more hit left in the three remaining draws of this year I wrote that two days ago on Dec 29th. Even though I'm tooting my own horn, and I absolutely hate to brag, the numbers themselves just don't lie. At the time I wrote the above, #16 had 60 hits and I just couldn't see it not getting to 61 hits for the year. That's because for the 20 consecutive years prior to 2022 the top hitter of any given year had at least 61 hits. That's a cold ha

By using my list of 18 method I've won a ton of Free Tickets. I've won so many, that I couldn't possibly tell you how many I've won. It's in the hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000 over the years I've been playing two different states Pick5 games. (New York and Florida) I dont scoff at winning a Free Ticket. If you look at The Top Prize and Retailers Report on The Florida Lottery's website, you'll see many jackpots have been won with a Free Ticket. It's surprising how frequently it happens.

I stopped buying the combo after the promo ended. For me, the big thing about buying the combo while the promo was in place was that I might get to play for free. When the jackpot got to two million, I started buying five games with the combo each time I played. Because I hit the instant prize two times, I played for free twice. I'm going to keep playing JPT without the combo while the 2 million is still available. Once somebody wins it and the jackpot resets, I won't be playing JPT for a wh

The Florida Lottery doesn't make the total take publicly available. But if players use FF5's official rules (which they make available on their website) then the total take can be calculated. Even then, when I've manually calculated the total take in the past, I didn't include the dollars that players spend on EZ Match. (That's because they don't make that amount available to the public) They split the total take 50/50. Half is returned to players via the total winning prize pool and the other h
