Does it Make a Difference Where You Play the Lottery?
-
We've been looking a our Minnesota Lottery Region Data on prizes and places won.
We divided the data into Online, Scratch and Raffle.
It seem this might depend on which kind of game you're playing.
Below is a table of the different game types, places and prizes.
The table is approximate based on what available data we could extract.
The Place can be either where the win was purchased or the winner's city/town.
It seems if you're playing Online or the Raffle, you want to be buying outside of a major city like Minneapolis and go to a Suburb or Rural Town.
For the Scrathcers you want to be in the major cities.

The One Over None
I Know... -
Yes, I believe demographics plays a part in it.
In Missouri, the small towns get a lot of the big winners, places I never heard of.
But, I know a lot of people in City of St. Louis, that has won big money, on Powerball and Scratch offs.
Sometimes, I travel out of my area, just to buy quick picks, if I keep getting duped!
Good Luck.

Yeah, we travel MN and try to pick up some plays in the Rural and Suburb areas.
We go to St. Cloud once in a while; occasionally we are in the Suburbs of the Cities, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and pick up a few with mild results.

Yeuh, this year's trip, hit Small Town America for your Lotto enjoyment.
Take the road less traveled, it might surprise you.

Here in the state of New York, seems like it's the reverse of MN.
The majority of online winning tickets are sold in NYC. As for upstate, it's Buffalo.
But then more tickets are sold in the NYC Metro/Long Island area, so I'm not surprised. G5
Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

Played NY on my way out to Boston a while back.
Played the MA and Boston area as well.
Won a little.
Think maybe PA too.

Gonna be up St. Cloud way next weekend.
Maybe hit something good.
Also, we'll be heading out to Boulder, CO in mid May; play some in different small towns while there.
Gonna be passing through IA, NE on the way out; maybe pick up some on the way.
We see the Yes/No is tied, good show.

OfflineIn Illinois it's almost always Chicago and the collar counties.
Of course that's where the population is.
Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Kind of counter intuitive here in MN.
We thought that's what we would find in the analysis.
But, seems the Lottery Gods have a different design in mind.

I think that you make more chance picking your numbers while sitting in the bathroom.

Well I noticed that small towns in Michigan win but mostly only the ones in the lower half of the lower peninsula.
S.E. Michigan (Metro Detroit) gets most of the winners overall (population)
When you get in the Upper Peninsula the big winners are in Delta county with a big Mega Millions win and the biggest Club Keno win in the U.P.
They have also had some big scratch winners.
Houghton County has also had a big Mega Million Win.
For Classic 47 (6/xx) type game wins those would be out on the East end of the upper peninsula with Sault St. Marie having the biggest that I can remember at 15 Million and Newberry having a 12 or 13 Million dollar winner.
The biggest winner in Marquette County since the lottery started(1972) was a 6 million dollar win on the 6/xx games about 5 or 10 years ago.
In short the best place to play in Michigan is just about anywhere(big or small town) in the lower half of the lower peninsula.
If you are only in the Upper Peninsula then Play in the land of big winners in Delta County. -
When you look at states with the most people (CA, TX, FLA, NY, PA & IL) it shouldn't surprise anyone as to why we see so many MM/PB jackpot winners in those states.
Then you look at MN... a state with 5.5 million people and ranked 22nd in terms of population, and the cities that have the most people (Minneapolis/St Paul) don't sell the most winners? How the heck do you figure that? G5

If you buy scratch-offs then it may make a difference where you buy them since the lottery pick their locations which they claim are done randomly which is why I seldom buy them. With drawings, their winners can be from anywhere.
* you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *
-
It seems like there are a lot of winners from Houston, but that also is where the biggest population is. As for scratchers, I seen winning tickets from the most remote places of the state as well as major cities.
JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
