In the average state lottery game, your odds of winning calculate out to approximately one in 15,890,700, based on the rules of the common six-number game. But if you've already beat the odds and came out a winner, your chances could be drastically improved the next time around.

Second-Chance Games Put Odds In Lottery Winners' Favor

You must have some luck to be a lottery winner to begin with; and now, with the institution of second-chance lottery games on the internet aimed solely at past and present lottery winners, lottery winners are even luckier. Since the field of lottery winners is already relatively small, the odds at playing a second-chance lottery game are much more improved in favor of the players.

A Case In Point: WinAnotherMillion.com

Take a look at a new second-chance lottery game launched April 15, 2008. This game gives current U.S. state lottery winners the chance to enter their Win Another Million Game (free, no obligations) and compete for twelve (12) semifinalist and three (3) finalist positions to win a grand prize of up to one million dollars.

Here's how the game basically works:

• Past/present qualifying lottery winners register at winanothermillion.com, or by mail or telephone
• Each winner can register each month for up to four chances at being chosen a semi-finalist until he or she is chosen (registrations dates are between April 15 – May 15, May 15 – June 16, June 16 – July 15, and July 15 – August 15)
• Three semifinalists are chosen each month (semifinalist drawings are May 16, June 16, July 16, and August 16)
• On August 17, three finalists will be chosen from the field of 12 semifinalists
• Three finalists are awarded with an expense-paid trip for two to West Palm Beach, Florida for the Contest Event
• At the event, each finalist is presented with 40 sealed envelopes containing prize cards
• Finalists open envelopes randomly until they have five matching cards
• The finalist wins the prize shown on the 5 matched cards

Although all three finalists can win a prize, only one can win the million dollar prize; if no finalist matches the million dollar prize cards, each can win either of the other three prizes, cash-prizes of $500, $10,000, or $100,000. All three could walk away with $100,000 cash, or a combination of the remaining prizes.

But what's a game without suspense? To put the fun into the Win Another Million second chance lotto game, the cards are not evenly dispersed. There are more potential matches for lower prizes than for the $1 million; still, each set contains one set of five $1 million cards, and so the odds of winning for each prize are as follows:

• $1,000,000= 1:500
• $100,000= 1:100
• $10,000= 1:14
• $500= 1:1.09

Any way you slice it, this second chance drawing, with the longest odds of winning set at 1:500 for finalists, is a far better chance at winning big. Compared to the nearly 1:16 million odds the player beat the first time around, playing a game of second chance with nothing to lose is about as close to a no-brainer as a winner can get.
