The only thing that increases your chances of winning a jackpot is buying more tickets. If everyone in a group of 20 people puts in enough to buy 10 tickets for a drawing, the group has a better chance of winning the jackpot than the single player who only buys a couple of lines. But the down sides are (1) you have to split the jackpot 20 ways, (2) the person in charge of the group might try to cheat the group out of a big prize and succeed, and (3) group play induces people to spend too much on the lottery.

This should be a poll. <rollingeyesdude> (I should know where he is after all this time, but come one man!)

I say FACT!! ANd for several reasons.

1) Cost is spread out, so pressure is off.

2) A combined lottery goal by social endeavor fosters positive enthusiasm towards the atttainment of the goal.

3) Pattern recognition can be spread out over multiple brains, and one puny brain does not need to do the whole three hour workout.

One negative is unfortunately, more SNAFUS. So a back up group to the group is a good bet.

Reason is better to play in groups is because the same number is not repeated. Pick2 is 100/1 win straight or box. a Quick pick machine generates numbers sometimes repeats a loser number while playing your own numbers you don't make same mistake, you play multiple combinations using your lucky dice to pick numbers. I can explain if u pm me i teach you how is very simple.

Post a reply to Why playing the lottery in groups increases the chances of winning?

Fact of fiction? - Fact is that people also play in groups.

Why it increases the chance of winning?

Only when they play more combinations. If 10 colleagues play 1 line of a lotto, they play for 10 cents each if the price is $1 or €1. There they don't increase their chances, but they make more chance then when they don't play at all.

Also, when playing more combinations, which would be more interesting, a full system or a wheel? Well, when it is about chances of winning any price, like making sure to get the lowest prize, then it would be a wheel.

Notice that when a group decides to play many quickpicks of a lotto, then the combinations tend to form a wheel with some lower coverage.

Texas doesn't have a Pick 2 game.

Seriously mind boggling to me that 10 people would get together, play 50 combinations to win $50 straight or $25 boxed.

Using Florida, if 10 people all toss in $5 to play all 50 combinations, they are guaranteed to win one or the other.
On one hand they break even, on the other they lost half their money.

If 5 people put in $10, the most they win on a straight is still $50, ($10 each).

I don't see it.

So, I generated 100 quickpicks and checked the coverage. 1-45 pick 6 (+ 1 reserve).

Res.0 Res.1 Res.2 Res.3 Res.4 Res.5 Res.6
0 0 691457 6386592 1043523 23388 100 R: 6 (6 first) Close to 3 if 6.

I generated 1000 quickpicks and checked the coverage.

Res.0 Res.1 Res.2 Res.3 Res.4 Res.5 Res.6
0 0 0 2019814 5893580 230666 1000 R: 6 The 3/6 is guaranteed. Rather a 4/6 with it.
