PowerBall odds for 100 tickets?
The PowerBall odds are about 1 in 146,000,000 I believe. So what would the odds be if you bought 100 tickets for 100 shots? Would that be 146,000,000 divided by 100 for a 1 in 1,460,000 odds? I may try this, plus some filtering that could reduce the odds by millions more.

My thoughts on MM when CA joinsReply
1 in 10 overall odds would completely make up for the impossible jackpot odds.

South Lotto TestReply
the odds of a 3 of 6 is 1:57.So john's $15 winning has just matched the odds a bit more.lets see If theres going to be a consist odds matching of a $15.To break the odds,100 lines should produce a 4 of 6 at least.The odds of a 4 of 6 is 1:1032,and the odds of a 5 of 6 is 1:54,201.Also we will see if anyone of us will make a 5 of 6 winner within all 6 draw tests.

Number 2 as mb this week ?Reply

I think all 52 balls will have come twice in that amount of time if the present format last that long.RJOhThere is a finite, but small, possibility that it will never come in our lifetimes. The odds of winning the mega-millions is of course 1 in 135,145,920.

Scratch off Odds?
Do Instant tickets have to have specific odds set?I ask because of the upcoming Florida Lottery's $5 scratch game Holiday Gift Tag Set. This is a $5 ticket with odds of 1-7.47 !!That would mean you have to buy 7+ tickets to expect to even win anything, at a cost of $35+.I've never seen a ticket before with odds much higher than 1-4. I do hope this is some kind of misprint, because those are just insane odds.
