RL-RANDOMLOGIC,
I might want to comment on your post. I play the Mega Millions all the time. I agree with your odds, yet there are two sides of these two games. The first side is the white balls and the second side is the bonus ball side. In the Mega Ball game, the odds of winning on the white balls, is 1 in 3,819,816. If you take that and multiply that by 46, the odds become 1 in 175,711,536. Why not concentrate on the white ball side and leave the mega ball out of the equation! Now let's take the 3,819,816 and reduce it to 2,827,007, which is 74.009% of all the combinations on the white ball side, by playing between the line sum of 101 to 180. Now let's reduce it even more. Let's reduce it to 1,824,860, by playing 2 odd and 3 even, which has been drawn 32.4%, or 3 odd and 2 even, which has also been drawn 32.4% since 6-24-05 2 odd and 3 even has bee drawn 212 times, and 3 odd and 2 even have been drawn 216 times. Let's also look at O odd and 5 even. O and 5 have only drawn 14 times or 2.24 percent, which is not a good area to play in. Let's look at 1 odd and 4 even. 1 odd and 4 even have only drawn 95 times, that equates to 2.24%, also not a good area to play in. I won't get into the mega ball at this time. Now let's look at the high and the low numbers. Low numbers are between 1 and 28 and the high numbers are between 29 and 56. O low and 5 high have won 10 times since 2005, which is 1.6% of draws since 2005, I would not play in that area if you paid me to. 1 low and 4 high have won 95 times, which is 15.2%, maybe, yet, odds aren't there. 2 low and 3 high have won 204 times, which is 32.64%, great area to play in. Now for 3 low and 2 high, they have won 202 times or 32.32%, also a great area. If one was to play the game, 2/3 and 3/2 they have the highest percentages! The number ratio 2/3 low high has won 105 times. The 3/2 low high has won 101 times. They almost mirror each other, much better in this area. Now by using what I have shared with you, the odds have now been reduced to 1 in 1,478,298, which is only 38.701% of all the combinations. When people play, they should know how to see the numbers in a different way. This is the way that I play, right or wrong. By playing this way and using some other techniques, I have come very close to winning the mega millions game. The odds of winning are much better at 1 in 1,478,298, than at 1 in 3,819,816, that is if you ask me. Always remember, there is more to it than that.
Someone should have taught me this when I first started playing!
P.S.: Just want to help those that are learning the game!
Until next time!
