DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007Reply
Just saw this after I posted on the same topic. I noticed it today while just seeing what numbers were coming out in states other than FL. I was shocked. Any student of the games knows this is beyond abnormal. I can't imagine what DC players think. Definitely looks like an inside job. And its the only simple way to fix the game with favorable odds guaranteeing tax-free prizes.

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I'm 99.9999% positive I've used that explanation in previous exchanges with Coin Toss, but as you can see the concept is still too elusive. 99.999 Any real crap's dealer could easily explain, even though there are six ways to roll a 7 and three ways to roll a 4 or 10, why the odds are expressed as 2 to 1 . You must be feeling brave or lucky to bring up reciprocals when we've got people that can't understand that 2/4 and 1/2 are the same thing. Yep, over five pages ago it was thoro

Tucker Black, You're getting in your own way with odds, probabilities, etc. ad nauseam. Speaking of flipping coins the Park casino in Vegas had a very popular game, two females would toss two coins and the bets were two heads, two tales and one of each. PS, 292 divided by 2 and 2 divided by 292 have vastly different answers.

Washington DC Pick 5 1 in 200 million oddsReply
I see what you're saying. ChatGPT has extremely limited analytical capability. This is yet another example of where it fails. Anyone can calculate 0.3^16. It has no value. Odds are for future unknown events. Odds have no meaning for past events. If you are trying to prove their drawings are not random, you need way more than 16 drawings for a statistical proof. Pick 5 hasn't been around long enough for that amount of data. After 100 years of drawings then you can do statistical tests.

You sure do stress yourself over one dollar, Yeesh. Any $1 that could win an extra $1,000,000 is a good bet. END OF STORY. The only approach to playing a game with such odds is once you buy a ticket consider the money spent gone and anything that comes back is gravy.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
What would have sales been, had the ticket prices remained at $2 over the last 11 1/2 months ? Would there have been more/less than 6 jackpot winners since the restart at $50 million ? Would the jackpots have reached $1 Billion + just one time at the $2 price, instead of taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million(7/01 - 11/14/25) ?

When you buy more than one ticket, you can calculate your odds of winning simply by dividing the stated odds by the number of tickets you hold.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
A lot of people are struggling right now, so $20 tickets are a bit steep. I seem to recall that the odds for 100k were not as good as for the 1 mil prizes. So maybe the push will be closer to the main draw.

$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
Yeah, right, you have a strategy for overcoming over 300M to 1 odds by playing five tickets or even assuring a 10X win of $10M. Run Forrest run! I mentioned the winner bring glad they sprang for the $5 becuase of all the animosity of players toward $5 tickets. Obviously you are unaware that the word guarantee is verboten with any type of gambling, or are you tryinhg to be a tout?
