You can bet your behind the computer generated sets to choose from would be a lot higher than 1 in 5 mill.

Odds are one thing you can, and cannot, predict.

Odds can go one way for quite a long time, then gradually go the other way, the fun part is trying to find when that is happening, and the final basis 'number' when there is no basis, I am going thru that right now. One thing I noticed in my trackings occurred 3 times more than the other - it stood out like a sore thumb, I played it... [ More ]

Yup, it's definitely random, but the randomness and the odds are completely different things. You've only got 1 in 2 odds when flipping a coin, but that's still random. If a computer generated result for PB meant that there were only 5 million combinations that could be drawn there would only be a 1 in 5 million chance of predicting it, but the results wouldn't be random.

FLoyd, either way, by looking at your numbers OR mine, it's kinda hard to get more random than it is, THAT was my point.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but your numbers are wrong. The chances of getting a winner or rolling depend on the percentage of combinations that are played. Selling half of the possible combinations is easy. There would be a 1 in 2 chance of having a winner and a 1 in 2 chance that it would roll. For n events you just raise the 1 in 2 to the nth power, just like you would for figuring the probability when flipping a coin. Two winners in a row, two rolls in a row, or aroll followed...

Let's see if I can say this right, it might be tough;

They say the odds of picking a winner are 1 in 146 million, we just went 16 drawings until a winner was hit, so 'in theory' the odds that just hit were 1 in 2.336 BILLION, right ? I know that's assuming you sold 146 million different tickets every drawing - which obviously did not happen, but let's say they sold 73 million different combos every drawing, that's still 1 in 1.168 BILLION, how much more random do you want ?

Here's the real Gravity of the Computer Generated vs. Ball Drawn. All lottery drawings are an experiment in random selection conducted on a twice weekly or daily basis with multiple experiments conducted each day. Like any experiment, anyone should be able to repeat the experiment for themselves. With Ball Drawn, it's easy, you have some information on what the machine and mechanisms are used to randomize the balls. You may even have some information on the material used to make the balls. Thus,... [ More ]

You just answered your own question.

I don't think like a computer, I think using logic to point me in some directions and then throw logic out the window when I get there...

The very first thing you do in Powerball is to NOT fall in love with a number or with how a set of numbers 'look'.

If gravity is better why have I had hits with pc draws such as keno yet cant hit anything on the others games that are G run... Computer draws are almost predictable in some ways 3 dots and a dash so to speak .Gravity machines are hard to figure I really dont prefer the gravity machine over pc or visa versa but would like a doggone hit on the G draws
