With all the excitement of winning the large Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots recently, we realized that many players were searching for a calculator that would show the odds (or chances) of winning when multiple tickets are purchased.
In response, we created and released a new Multi-Ticket Lottery Odds Calculator gadget which can be found on the right hand sidebar of this blog (about 1/4 down the page), on our Lottery Power Picks News blog, and in the Google gadgets directory. To use this calculator, simply enter the number of tickets that you purchased and press the enter (or return) key. The odds of winning the top 2 prizes will automatically be displayed. In our rush to release this gadget, we sacrificed making this a "pretty" display.
You can either use the calculator directly on this blog, or you can add it to your own iGoogle home page by clicking on the "+ Google" button directly under the calculator.
Let us know what you think.
Thanks, JL ......
