I did. I was a stats/math major before dropping out. Now I'm 23, I might go back again but probably not. Lottery math is interesting but when calculating the probability of a large lottery (i.e. Powerball) it makes you not even want to play.

Don't we study probability right here at lottery post?

Figuring out what the probabilities of what the next drawings numbers are.

although pick 5 or pick 6 little bit hard, it took patience and little luck to get the jackpot for example Florida Fantasy 5

unfortunately it took more research to reduce the jackpot into very-2 affordable tickets to plays one tickets to play

and here are some tools to playing around with pick 5 or pick 6

it take alot of patience and xyz attempt. of course little bit luck.

well good luck

Pick 5 or pick 6 lotteries are big dreams. But think about this;

The lowest of them all, pick 2 of 10 numbers or pick 3 of ten? Can you or anyone you know beat them?

The money comes from selling a system or a 'how to win book'.

Or maybe just being real lucky!!

IMO

We are probably just a bunch of wankers thinking we can beat the lotteries.

The mathematical academics and the lottery companies are laughing at us just as we speak.

johnph77, the very small print at the bottom of your post , which don't show on this quoted text , were ; 1st one very true . Without a dream what would life be ? 2nd one; Sums my opinions of physics and prognosticators perfectly . Thank you , they are full of it

Stew12 , did you think that was funny or were you making fun of me and my poor attempt at a joke ? It was my understanding that this was a forum for people to get to know each other and one's sense of humor is a very great part of the whole person . IF my attempt at a joke and a bit of fun caused anyone to lose out on a win , I apologize and will make sure and call the Fat Girl and apologize to her too . You can get too serious you know and nothing, even a big win and all that money can buy you... [ More ]

A long time ago I did a complete probability spreadsheet on the 6/49 matrix lottery. The file was rather large - took (if I remember correctly) 5 CD-ROMs to hold all of the data.

Anyway, somewhere around the 35%-40% range of total possibilities, the probability of having one drawing of - or already having drawn - a set of numbers being an exact duplicate of one of the previously drawn sets reaches the 1::1 mark. Determining which set will appear twice is still up to the bettor. And the number... [ More ]

There's a good probability I will buy a book on probability in gambling.

RAVEN62, Your idea about a mind stretching never returning to it's original size reminds me of a fat girlfriend I once had and the swimsuits she tried on in a shop while I waited . They never returned to their original size either .

PUMPI76, I've always loved math , but if it would help me win I'd start back as soon as I could . However, when I think how many genious mathmathicians there are out there working as professors in a school for what could be called peanuts' compared to what they could win , it makes me wonder if there really is a way to beat the lottery . BESIDES LUCK

I would. I love numbers, and I'm fasinated by patterns within the numbers. Like a lot of times where doing comparisons of the 3 digit from one category i.e. say the 1st + 2nd = 15 then for 3 drawings the 15 comes out in a row. Or twice even, even, even, i.e. 424 comes out - then in the 3rd drawing a even, even, even, comes out again. To me that rocks! Abbagail from MD

Actually I've read the deviation principles theories by Liming Wu and Nian Yao.

Excellent reading for anyone..

It might surprise you to find out that you already know more about Probability and Statistics than you think you do.

If you had everything paid, your house, cars, everything, how many of you will go to school and study, Probability as a hobby...

How many will subscribe to the Journal of Probability....

i would, just wandering if you would...
