Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
The state knows that players are going to play no matter what. Think about it, even on here, a forum of dedicated players, not even all of us bother to look at the website and look at the odds. Millions of people play the lottery and only a very small percent actually take the time to look up the odds. But it doesn't matter what the odds are because we are gamblers. They are laughing all the way to the bank. At us! OK ours if we complain about it here on this website? John Q Public has no idea

How often have you won with Pick 4?Reply
The best thing to do is to understand the odds, overall BOXED/VS/STRAIGHT to hit straight is 1 in 10000, period no matter what, the number it has to be in order. Hitting box differs in the number of possible combos so the odds change if 1234 = ABCD the box odds are 1 in 417 since there are 24 possible box combos from a pick 4 with 4 differing numbers, if you have 1233= ABCC (a double) 12 possible combos the box odds are 1 in 833 and the payout is higher per dollar depending on the state, then yo

Virginia scratchers now display top prize odds
It must be kind of recent. I haven't bought a scratcher in over a year, though. But I don't remember the odds for the prizes ever being listed anywhere, until today when I looked at them at the store. I'm glad to see that they now say what their top prize odds are. The most info I used to get is how many prizes are estimated to be left and how many prizes were printed. Now the ticket says for example, 'odds of winning top prize: 1 in 480,000' etc. actually I just remembered, on

The vastness of the odds for a jackpot win...
I read online that the odds on a Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot win, is between 142 million and 176 million. To expect to win even ONCE in your lifetime, playing twice a week, no less, one would have to play for 435 thousand years, to hit in ONCE. Clearly, the odds of winning by buying a ticket are almost equal to the odds of winning by finding an unsigned QP ticket on the street and pocketing it from the unlucky stranger gambler that bought it and lost it, and winning with that! You simply

Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
Totally disagree, John. Why do you think the odds would be cut in half? That would mean that everyone will eventually win if they just keep playing! The odds are the odds are the odds are the odds. They don't change just because there is one drawing, two drawings or 10 drawings. This is the same logic people use when they assume buying 2 tickets changes the odds. It does very slightly, but not by 50%. If the odds are 1 in 10 million, 2 tickets makes the odds 2 in 10 million, not 1 in 5

AMAZING: Minnesota man wins back-to-back lottery jackpotsReply
the odds of it happening are virtually incalculable Geez. Has anyone ever considered making it illegal for morons to be reporters? The odds are extremely steep and extremely easy to calculate. If the odds of doing it once are 1 in 170,000 then the odds of doing it twice are 1 in 170,000^2, assuming the guy only bought two tickets. If he bought more tickets the odds go down. If he bought two tickest for each of those drawings but not for any other day then the odds were 1 in 85,000^2. A

To I M Trying,The point I was trying to make was, anyone claiming to have software that would improve your odds of winning could post a series of numbers over a period of time and compare their actual winnings with the normal odds of winning. For example the odds of winning in MegaMillions are:MATCH ODDS WIN 4/52 + 0/52 1/11272 $1503/52 + 1/52 1/12502 $1502/52 + 1/52 1/834 $103/52 + 0/52 1/245 $71/52 + 1/52 1/152 $30/

GEORGIA PLAYERS, Do not even waste your money on the Millionaire Jingle Jumbo Bucks
Take the pledge with me, and do not even waste your money on the Millionaire Jingle Jumbo Bucks. The odds are terrible, and not anywhere close to what you can do with Maximum Green or $100 Million Lucky Fortunes. Odds of hitting $100 are 1 in 60, about 2x worse than the other two games PLUS you cannot enter your $20 loser into a second chance drawing. It has odds of a $10 ticket, not even a really good one. You can win $1,000,000, $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 as top prizes, but I bet there will only

Pick 3/4 Trade Secret. once read you must keep it a SecretReply
I think ODDS , when explained in strategy-wise will be more appealing, mathematics are facts and facts can be intimidating. I have this approach about ODDS odds in favor and odds against, their just the flip side of a coin. Let say on every 100 draws of P4 , my success is just 20, then my odds in favor 20/80 and against will be 80/20, then my strategy will be towards 20/80. Probability is a fluid concept, depending on DATA , it can be adjusted ( Bayesian -priors) when updating, these also change
