Welcome

The purpose of this blog is to bring you a variety of articles focused on sharing Lottery Specific Topics that will better help you understand your chances of winning the large Mega Millions, Powerball, Lotto 649, Super 7, Euromillions, etc. jackpots.

We intend to post new articles on a Bimonthly (every 2 month) basis, but may add content more frequently. Examples of topics that we will address include: Do all combinations have an equal probability of winning?; Where does the money go?; What combinations occur most frequently and why? Should I take a lump sum payment or annuity?; and more.

Our blog is open to your comments. If you have a lottery related question that needs to be researched, please suggest it. If you know of interesting research sites that we should add, tell us. If you want to contribute an article, let us know. The only rules that we will impose are: (1) Keep it clean; and (2) Don't ask for lottery results (you can get that elsewhere). We hope you will enjoy reading our articles and participate in our growth. .... J.L.
