OddsReply
maybe you lay off the crack. i never said 3 would decrease the odds to 1:250,000. i said buying 2 tickets out of 1,000,000 makes your odds 1:500,000. maybe i should use smaller numbers so all you people can understand. EXAMPLE 1:there are 10 combinations in a certain lottery.you buy 1 ticket- ODDS= 1:10you buy 2 tickets- ODDS= 2:10 OR 1:5you buy 3 tickets- ODDS= 3:10you buy 4 tickets- ODDS= 4:10 OR 2:5you buy 5 tickets- ODDS= 5:10 OR 1:2EXAMPLE 2:there are 1,000,000 combinations in a certain lot

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?Reply
Alright, here we go. Throughout this topic odds have made an appearance and have been used to explain the occurrences of the various multiplier selections. The Megaplier does have problems, but it seems to benefit the player more than the Power Play multiplier does. For now we'll focus on the Power Play multiplier. There are 3 different odds to work with: Stated, Calculated and Estimated. The Stated and Calculated should always be in exact agreement with each other.

Cheating FL Lottery Store RetailerReply
There is no law against it in Georgia, but I don't know about other states. Now that does not mean that it is not against the retailer's rules. One store owner told me that he would not hire anyone that played the lottery. A clerk at another store told me that they are not allowed to play and the owner would watch the tapes and fire anyone that played. Most clerks say they don't play, but I think a good number of them do, especially station owners. What are they going to do? Fire themselves? I k

1 in 400 million?
Many people say the big jackpot games Powerball and Mega Millions are due for a matrix change. The last time the operators of these games changed the matrices, the jackpot odds went up to their current state of about 1 in 300 million for each game (give or take some millions). Idea 1: What if the group that runs either lottery wanted to make a new matrix resulting in 1 in 400 million jackpot odds. What matrices would give those odds? I ran a script to generate some possibilities getting a
