Regular player of the Super 7 here. $15/w, used to do $10 to the 7 and $10 to 6/49, but when they jacked 6/49 to $2 a line I dropped it.
$30M? Screw going in to work Monday AM no matter how healthy I am if I win all that :lol:

Voluntary taxation!!
I am sorry to say, but the regular players are the big losers.
40 years from now you could have saved $31,200.00!
Your chances of getting struck by lightning 10 times are better than hitting the jackpot.
My $0.02 (or $31,200.02)
The Lottery - Scorpion - 04-29-2006
Yeah, play the 6/49.
30M wouldn't buy my work, but it would buy a nice healthy share, and a serious say in what goes on...and let me tell you, there would be a few people that would be looking for a job soon enough!
Funny enough tho, my boss wouln't be one of them....even tho he's a pain, he's fair......
But I wouldn't bother buying in......why work? Lol

My former co-worker won 8.5 million last month.
The Lottery - euro_zx5 - 04-29-2006
I've been meaning to play a ticket every so often, especially when I see numbers like that... but I always forget. I'm just not used to buying them, so I have a difficult time getting into the habit... :lol:

I am in only for the big draws. 30 Million would make me a happy man. I think I would invest in the company I work for, but I doubt I would work there for long. Retirement at 31 sounds great to me. :lol:
The Lottery - meford4u - 04-29-2006

why don't we see how much you win first before we start negotiations..m'kay?
I have a subscription to the 6/49 ... if you figure out the differences in odds of winning between 6/49 and super 7, you're just getting better odds of winning with 6/49..
Odds of winning 6/49 : 1:13,983,816
Odds of winning Super 7 (if you don't do group play) : 1:62,891,499
I'd rather have the odds of 1:14 million of winning 2 million dollars than 1:63 Million of winning 30 million.
You can improve you chances of winnng by combination play, but you're basically playing (tickets)^(combination numbers) and paying as much too.
The Lottery - FocusGuy7476 - 04-30-2006
those are horrible odds of winning, theres a better chance of hitting big on the roulette wheel than the 6/49 or Super 7.
Odds for 6/49 1:13,983,816 that you don't have share it with anyone else
Odds for Super 7 1:62,891,499
Odds for Roulette between 1:2 and 1:39 depending on your bet
I'm taking it that no one won, cause its up to 35 million.
The Lottery - darkpuppet - 04-30-2006
true... with roullette, the odds of winning $1.3 million off a $10 bet played (and doubled) 17 times is about 1:330,000
baccarat played with socking winnings away (and seeting aside the commissions) will be about 1:205,000
and blackjack offers odds about about 1:150,000 in winning a million dollars off a $10 bet.... but you'll have to play about 250 hands to get there..
but those numbers hide the fact that there's a lot more involved in the 'chance' and require informed decisions on your part than in just picking numbers to ride on the lottery.
With roullette, I've always liked the idea of 'best octet'.... but you'll still never win if you don't have the bankroll, and time to play.

So doctor who rents movies from my work won a couple millon (maybe more) a few months ago...
