Have your Lottery-Playing Habits Changed?Reply
Personally, I wouldn't touch scratch-offs, at least not here in FL The odds or so much worse than the drawing games and there is major inconsistencies in them as well For example, there is the Loteria game #1530 where the top prize is $50K with odds of 1: 2.6 million(!) while just a few spots away is game #1523 Cash Blast which also has a $50K top prize and battling 1: 702,000 odds Clearly, the 2nd game would be the smarter decision in this scenario, but why would I do that when

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winNews Story
New Jersey based group turned the odds to win in their favor By Kate Northrop Around this time one year ago, the Texas Lottery's Lotto Texas jackpot was bursting at the seams, boasting the game's third-largest prize ever at a mouthwatering $95 million. One New Jersey-based group gamed the odds to win the jackpot. Following a seven-month period without a winner, the Lotto Texas jackpot had ballooned to $95 million for the drawing on April 22, 2023, the game's largest in over 12 years.

When is the right time to hang your lottery boots?Reply
Most state and provincial lotteries still offer 50 cent straight and box pick 3 and pick 4 wagers so those that playing games like that for years probably still play them. It's different with the major jackpot games that made several game changes through the years. Considering players wager $2 to beat 1 : 14,494 odds just to win $100 in PB or 1 : 38,792 MM odds to win the same $500 they can win playing against 1 : 1000 odds for a $1 wager. IMO, the big difference between then and now is the

The $29.95 Non-BelieverzReply
What Stat fails to understand is that odds of any game are determined by..... MATH. Math is how odds are found. As far as deception , Stat is swimming in a river called de-nile , believing LO's are deceiving players. LOL...with the odds of these games we are up against, they don't have to deceive anyone. If they were, there would never be a winner. Here's a guy that believes LO's are cheating players, yet he will spend money on a lottery ticket. I've never seen anyone with less comm

Box odds questionReply
Of course for a straight hit the odds are 1 in 10,000, but we are talking about people who actually play pick 4. Box odds are not the same, I actually prefer to play 50/50 and for my 4538 pick in Maryland I at least get $100 for a box hit, and if I beat the 1/24 odds I also get $2500. You can always play a combo if your state has it. But a $1 combo will cost your $24 if it is a 24 way number.

You make this too easy stat$. I count 13 favorites in your list. Even the *numbers add up to 8 numbers. In what Universe does that = the one (1) number garyo was referring to with get that mega ball down to one Your evasion tactics, as well as your math skills, need work stat$. Here's a little more math for you stat$. JLB odds for 3/6 = 1 in 50 for a $5 win JLB odds for 4/6 = 1 in 873 for a $50 win RC5 odds for 3/5 = 1 in 103 for a $10 win RC5 odds for 4/5 = 1 in 338

Virginia: 6/1 - 6/30/2023Reply
I am sooo tempted. I don't have any feel for how those numbers are going to fall, but it's possible to manipulate the odds a bit so that they are similar to the odds of hitting Pick 3 straight. The way to do it, is to play a 5 way number like 1-2-3-4-5 ANY WAY. The odds are 1 in 833 and it pays $400. That's not a gigantic lick, but most of the other ways to play Pick 5 result in winnings over the $600 limit so you have to pay taxes. For tonight I like 5-1-7-9-0. Good Luck!

Nebraska Lottery to make changes to Pick 5 gameReply
The Pick 5 jackpot currently stands at $50,000 and the odds of winning the jackpot from 1 in 501,942 . And with the odds increasing to 1 in 658,008, saying doesn't sound like an upgrade to me is an understatement. They only have two state drawn games and both are computer drawings. Their pick 3 game pays $600, better than most, and better than their pick 5 odds of 1 in 3,042 to win $450.
