  With PB jackpot reset to $20M and MM jackpot at $44M, Ohio Classic Lotto's jackpot of $27.2M and odds of 1:14M is looking good again.  While OCL jackpot has been slowly climbing, PB and MM have produced several jackpots in excess of $200M and reset a couple of times so while they are regaining their $100M+ jackpots OCL is a nice alternative.

  I think it was Indiana but you can check LP news to make sure.  OCL is looking even better at $28M since MM has reset too.

  It was definitely Indiana tonight that got the PB jackpot.  With PB resetting to $20M/$10.2M and MM at $29M/ $18.2, Ohio Classic Lotto at $29.1M/$14.5M cash values going past the odds of winning the jackpot is ready for the heavy hitters.  I think I might put a couple of extra bucks on Monday's drawing.  Good luck if you're playing.

  Good luck to you RJOh.

  While playing your system, maybe toss a couple QP's in there with your numbers for good measure.

  Thanks,

  When one only plays SPs as I do, I suppose one could imagine had a couple of random QPs been in the mix the results might have been different but I've never regretted not playing random QPs.  My system pick combinations randomly like a lottery terminal does but I usually only accept the ones that fit a profile based on rules and percentages I establish using previous drawings.  The only regrets I ever have are occassionally playing hunches and varying from those rules.  I evaluate, adjust, change or add new rules if needed after each drawing I played.

  Classic Lotto is definitely a better buy than both Powerball and Mega Millions at the moment. I don't live in Ohio, so I can't play it. Hoosier Lotto is at $16 million. I could definitely retire off that after taking the cash option and after taxes.

  Gonna win.
