Launch odds vs. real odds on Diamonds and Dollars
The odds printed on Diamonds and Dollars were set the day it went to print and they never move. The real odds do, every single day, as prizes get claimed and tickets sell. When the $1,000,000 (50K/YR/20YRS) prizes get scooped up faster than the tickets sell, the real odds on that top prize get worse than what’s on the front. When tickets sell faster than the big prizes go, they get better. On Diamonds and Dollars the top prize is already gone, so those printed odds are selling you a jackpot that isn’t on the shelf anymore.

- Because the odds printed on the ticket make every game look identical from the day it launches to the day it ends.
