Excellent information, still it boils down to ridiculous odds but what we can do is play as smart as possible within a budget. Winners are out there, someone will win and you have to play to win.
The numbers for BDB Blockbuster tickets you have a few extra 000 on there, it should 65 million tickets, 65,520,000
and the prizes are then showing totals for the whole game. For example the top Prize 10Million there are 10 spread in those 65million tickets so that
is where they are getting the odds of 1 in 6,552,000. 10 divided by the 65 million =6mil.
In IOWA their scratch off site shows Prizes claimed, unclaimed and prizes left available which is nice. I'd like to see more about locations. They say it's pretty randomized but it seems like they wouldn't want to many winners close together so I'm thinking somehow they spread the top prizes out a bit.
There is definately an algorithm used to print the tickets, I think.
If you look at the back of the tickets that long number shows the game number, for example, the BDB would be 1007 0100120 0 010 so that first number is 1007 the game number for BDB. Then the pool number 0100120 then the roll number, Roll 0 and then the ticket number, ticket #10
I just try to play numbers that are lucky for me and hope for the best
