Lotto odds rise as balls increase to 54 in Florida
At a Florida meeting, Nettles warned subscribers to skip Lotto if balls rise to 54, saying it worsens odds from 1 in 15.8 million to 1 in 25.8 million. Lottery officials project higher jackpots and sales, while critic Gerald Busald questions the math. A professor notes even with 50 balls the gamble remains irrational, though he still buys weekly.
