I hope it's just people being lucky but it does make you wonder. I had five tickets and had three numbers on three tickets ... no money won. The three numbers on each ticket were not across the straight line of numbers but scattered all over the ticket. You need four numbers that way to get $2.00 back ... however, I did have a lot of numbers that were one off or above and below.
It is "so easy" to pick or get those kind of hits ... one number off! ... if I could just figure out how to "tweak" the numbers. Oh well, can't have it too easy, everybody will be winning!
That's a nice hit on your Ohio game ... some ticket money. Can you figure it out??? ... I am going to go back for the last two or three years with the Match 6 game and copy the date and winning numbers for every jackpot hit. I want to see if anything stands out with the winning numbers. What will it prove or show ... probably nothing but I like working with numbers and systems, I'm always churning numbers for all the games I play. I have seen some patterns through the years but nothing month after month ... year after year. Usually any patterns are short lived and something new takes over.
Yes, Match 6 was at the point that $100,000 was now being added after every drawing ... now it's back to $50,000 into January ... I was ready to hit Match 6 a little harder in Jan but now it's back to the waiting game.
I like the $1.6 million jackpot point as that makes a person a true millionaire in most areas.
... it could also be that people are playing the 6/49 game more because of the better odds over the bigger jackpot games ... some people are getting older and more desperate ... like me!
I was looking at your numbers again on your ticket hits ... if you could have had all those numbers on one line, on one ticket ... I see BIG Winner!
