Landmark bill would ban computerized lottery drawings in DelawareReply
bigbets:A tub of swiss cheese has far fewer holes than your arguments.I love how you say that a RNG is fair because they have been used for years and years for keno and slot machines. I guess you've got me cornered on that one! Keno games and slot machines are well-known for their fairness and accuracy, huh? (On the contrary, casinos love 'em because they can control exactly what machines payout the most. Is that what you're after?)I think the fact that the lottery can easily catch people

For some lottery winners jackpot is a 'nightmare'Reply
HOLY SHYT !!! is all I can think of here! Now this is more interesting than the topic of lottery rigging lol. I can understand how this can spiral and have a certain amount of money loss, but DAMN, losing it all?! Yes my mind would be full of flowers, but whatever spending/giving I make, I would at the same time watch money coming in money coming out very carefully within my bank account... I suck at math LOL... but watch it I would!Amen

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply
In a Pick-4 game drawn with ping-pong balls, I know for a fact that my overall odds of winning are 1 in 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 = 10,000. In a Pick-3 game using the same method, I can see that my odds are 1 in 10 X 10 X 10 = 1,000.Looking at a computerized random number generator, how would I do the math? People of Wisconsin, keep a very close eye on your upcoming payouts, especially in your daily games. Now that your state has decided that the integrity of the game isn't worth the comparitively few

Pa. Lottery To Scrap Super 6 LottoReply
This story was first reported in the harrisburg Patriot - News last Friday. Most of the details were given; yes it will be sort of like Super 6; players can pick 6 numbers, (out of 49); the other two plays are freebees. My only question after reading the article and trying to figure the odds is that apparently 10 numbers are drawn. According to the story, (I didn't do all the math) the chances of getting $2 (minimum) prize is 1 in 9. this is about the same as the Cash 5 game. I'm wondring

NJ casino alleges famous poker player cheated in $9.6M winReply
The casino is full of bull you know what, that person has no need to do as they claim, besides they should not be able to fairly prove it, they don't want to pay him that is all. Whenever somebody wins big money, the casinos always claim that the person violated some kind of gambling rule. Casinos are full of, well I already said what they are full of. They should just declare that winning is against casinos' gambling rules. ---------------------------- Just as the lottery outfits

Mass. Lottery knew about exploited game's flaws for years, IG saysReply
The lottery officals never considered someone would buy 80% of the tickets and the rest is basic math. The only thing unique is a small group came up with the $600,000 to make the bet and that's probably because credible math professors convinced them a profit could be made. I doubt the average lottery player who reached the same conclusion would get the same credibility to get the necessary funding. Even though the same conclusion about the game was reach by LP members years ago, it wou

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Do you think they are copying other lottery games in other countries? Lotto Max is $5 in Canada. The odds of winning the jackpot is 1 in 33,294,800. It's not taxed like in America. I remember Lottery Post did interview years ago about how Powerball might go international too. Which makes no sense to me why they would do that. Ironically we still can't buy tickets online in every state like other countries can. They can remain anonymous. But they want to make it international? Europe has Euro

Over €85 million in unclaimed Ireland Lottery prizes over the past five yearsReply
People who don't care enough to pick their lottery numbers following SCIENCE and the DATA... unfortunately dont care enough to check their tickets to see if their numbers actually came out. People who dont follow the SCIENCE and DATA are nothing better than a bunch of selfish science and math deniers. People who were selfish enough to buy lottery tickets during a pandemic, are nothing but grandma murderers and dont deserve their jackpot winning anyway. GOD is punishing these people w

Colorado Lottery launches updated Lotto gameReply
Under the old regime I could have purchased 2 tickets for $1 apiece and had odds of 1 in 2.6 million. Now the same $2 gives me odds of 1 in 3.8 million. Lol at the CO Lottery for spinning it as an improvement. And the odds of winning any prize went from 2 in 35 for a $2 bet to 2 in 60 for a $2 bet. But hey! The odds are better if you ignore the cost of the odds. In Kentucky Keno 1X is a multiplier. 1x is a multiplier everywhere they have math. So is 0.5, but don't tell anyone who wo
