Nope. Do a searcch here on LP for does an additional ticket cut the odds in half? There is one and only one set of numbers that wons the jackpot. the odds are based on the tital number of combinations possible. Each additional set of numbers played reduces the overall odds by one combination, it does not cut the odds in half.

The reason I asked the above question is to be able to see how odds can be viewed. We are accustomed to the 1:292M or 1:300M odds of winning. One can see the magnitude if the odds are compared with people. For instance let's say in tonight's PB drawing, 35 million people played. So if you have a ticket you know that there are 34.999999 million people who have a ticket or tickets in their hands plus you.

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

Hahahaha your odds remain basically the same - even if you bought 100 tickets - it's like adding a grain of sand on the beach

Because the hottest number in a lottery doesn't mean it will come in the next draw?Reply
Things work within probability and abide by it but the odds/probability of things are too deviant that you can pin things every draw nor catch the 5/5 that easily. If not we would see 5/5 winners in every city... The prize winners by odds prove that catching big prizes are not simple or easy or pinnable Good Luck all

I have that thought regularly. But I am one of those players who has no issue throwing in the towel for years at a time. Most of my 20 years on the LP was not playing. Last year, the only game I played regularly was the PA match 6. That was most likely because the game goes off every night and I can pick a set of numbers and advance play for 26 days at a time. I know the odds and choose to accept the likely outcome. The opportunity to win even a part of $500,000 is the motivator to continue.

Hi. Looking at this from a technical issue-computers are programmed by humans. This can lead to the odds on each scratch-off ticket being adjusted accordingly. I haven't noticed any difference in the 2nd tier winnings.
