expert in higher mathematics you could win the lottery

Actually lottery probabilities or mathematics are not that difficult for you to calculate them yourself. They are advertised to you in every game by the way.

let say that you were tasked to create a lotto game:

the typical setup will be something like: (This is a very simplified model that doesn't include logistics, operations, advertisments etc)

1st step: Is to generate trust in your business model. randomnes, transparency and... [ More ]

I don't think the American Military created the Bermuda Triangle.

I think it was the Panamanian Military under Manuel Noriega. That's why we have him in jail.

Fun Fact: His nickname is Pineapple Face.

Now that CERN's atom smasher is up and running, not only can they create tiny black holes but can also predict the Powerball numbers at any given time...And the code breakers can hack into Powerball's system and re-direct the winning easy pick to any terminal at the exact time they chose...As long as its an easy/quick pick printed on the winning ticket, no one will ever second guess these genius's...

Anyone up for making this into a movie? Maybe have some disgruntled rogue CERN scientist's co... [ More ]

Ok, it was 1947, Roswell was 1947.

Here you go, folks:

During The Amazing Roswell UFO Festival, guests can visit alien attractions,attend lectures, book signings and help uncover the truth about one ofthe most infamous cover-ups in history. For moreinformation about the festival, visit http://www.roswellufofestival.com.

Pumpi,

The markings on the alien craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1847 (Known as The Roswell Incident) were the code to break lotteries with.

That's why the government tried to cover the whole thing up and say it never happened, it was weather balloons .

Seeing that most of the winners are QP's, I doubt if there are many of us super geniuses walking the face of the earth. The only super geniuses I know are long term members of Lottory Post and write insightful thoughts about random numbers. The nay-sayers usually leave after a few months.

I orginally had another word for nay-sayers but thought better of using it.

Interesting theory...However have you seen some of the people that win Powerball? I doubt they are some kind of Math Genius...or Savant....... I mean seriously do you think Jack Whittaker is a math genius that managed to crack a code?? Doubtfull.....

Sounds like the movie Mercury Rising .....Might be a good plot for a movie.. A thriller Lotto Spy movie..... HMMM

Lottories were develop many centuries ago. I doubt that Poweball was developed to find code breakers.

In another light the military could use those people possessing exceptional skills in predicting numbers or developing algorithyms. They might be looking around to find those people; who knows? Better yet, who cares? They certainly are not contacting me and for good reason.

sorry made a mistake i was bussy doing something else...i want to correct something...Time traveling or time machine does involve a LOT of knowledge about stochaic processes and random phenomena A LOT...A LOT...WHEN I MEAN A LOT I MEAN A LOT...

what i meant to say is that:

And there was spy a lot during those times and the guys that understood higher mathematics who knows is under the assumption that none of them got diseases, died of old ages or werent killed...

Dude, to study stochaic process and apply it to weather phenomenon you have to be a HECK of a mathematician...Not just that since those fields are rare no 2 mathematicians are alike in personality, gift or knowledge how do you know those that were working for the governm... [ More ]

i know about the enigma but the enigma was rudimentary and it was a machine not a computer by then foreign governments will had expanded the possible encrypted combinations....and there was spy a lot during those times and the guys that understood the math of the game who knows is under the assumption that none of them got diseases, died of old ages or werent killed...

Could it be...The Military pays the inventor of powerball to come up with a game like that back in those times and problem solve...

People create gambling games where percentages favor the house and the outcome is determined by a random event. In most lottery type games the house percentage is around 50% and the outcome is not known until after a random drawing. During World War II a machine called the Enigma was used to scramble correspondence so it was possible to unscramble it. As long as... [ More ]

i heard that lotteries began to appear in 1960 back then later on Kennedy was assassinated, there was Cuba, there was the Korea conflict, HALF OF Europe belong to Russia, HALF OF IT...THAT CAN NOT HAPPEN...The world must have felt very insecured to the USA...And then there was the weather balloon in Rosswell and UFO sighting they must had thought it was Russian...Again the USA must had felt very insecured as though the world was going to end...So we had to know what the enemy was thinking...Back...

you know why i believe it could be true?? Because encryptions as well as studying stochaic processes and related fields are fields, RARELY STUDIED...RARELY, RARELY, RARELY studied/taken in college, suffice to say that you can not have a second job and study these fields, nor can you be of the lower class either and study these fields....The odds that you have to overcome to get to those 4th and 5th sometimes 8th level higher mathematics to understand these 2 fields....Again it will not surprise

I was looking at Powerball last night and i kept thinking...WHO in the world will come up with such a game....Only Satan would had thought of creating a game like that...Encryption is similar to the lotto...The USA has MANY secrets it wants hidden, when lottery began operating 1984 or 1970 i think the cold war was still going on...Even if it was in 1970 the USA faced so many wars and potential enemies it will not surprise me if Powerball was created with that purpose...They probably knew that wh...
