your mathematical odds will be pretty high,around 1 to 5 instead of the 1 to 2500 for those who were buying 10 tickets! answering ciango's question:i'll buy 700 tickets for the 02 may draw

The odds of winning if you buy 10 is (1/5000)/10 = 500:1
if you buy 5000 tickets, then your odds effectively become 1:1. However, you may lose. Or you may win more than once.
I normally stick whatever points I have at the end of a week in the draw.. normally 100-200
Sometimes if mob safe is >=$50 I'll buy them instead.
I don't really care about saving for $50, if I really want money on a site, I'll make a deposit. I'd rather play some mob safe/draw.
If I was referring people, I'd probably not spend on draw/safe

Posted by schwabo: I buy about 10 per week ,I think if you have luck you will win with 1 ticket,but if you don't have luck you can buy 4900 tickets and not win

well,those who are buying 500 and or more may become so lucky one day if the random drawing will choose all 4 or 5 winning number out of the series he occupied with his tickets! i mean if you buy 500 tickets i believe you'll reserve number like from 500 to 1000,or 2200 to2700,or 13150 to 18150;and it is possible that the computer will choose 13152,13202,13203,13423 so technically one could take all four prizes :20000 points

I buy 9 a week and have never won...It would be nice if they would post how many tickets the winners bought to win the draw maybe with numbers like 9 I'm just wasting my points??
