Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I suspected that although people are upset about the price increase for Mega Millions tickets, if the jackpot reaches $1 Billion, almost every lottery player will buy at least one MM ticket. One thing that's absolutely certain is that every one of the people who said they'll never play at $5 per ticket is a lottery player, and lottery players play lotteries. Sales are starting to grow and it's probably not because of the people who aren't really lottery players but buy the rare ticket when

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
The $tatiStics for the List you created for Me. Thank you so much. 286 combos out of a possible 1000 is 28.6% So a hit percentage greater than 28.6% is a statement of how effective the Lotterology List is performing. For the 2 Week period after you posted your list on August 26, the hit percentage was 32.14% . I have not calculated how many of the 286 Combinations would have produced a profit and other than a few suggestions on how someone other than yourself could arrive at the redu

Does Lottery Software work?Reply
The reason lottery software does not work is because the draws are memoryless . We can analyze past draws ad nauseum, but whatever was found does not carry into the future draws. Even a Markov Chain generator applies probability to the future possible states... why this fails in the lottery is that it is an independent event with no dependency on past or future events. None. I can make my own losing number picking systems for free (I do it all the time), I would never pay someone else to cre

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
I'm looking at it as it's much more likely for a player to win on the gimmick considering the 292.2 million odds. Would you like to expand on that thought to see if it makes any sense? Powerplay doesn't do anything to improve your chances, much less make it much more likely. The chance of winning any prize at all is 1 in 24.87, or 4%. That means there's a 96% chance that instead of wasting $2 you've wasted $3, but while it's only half (again) as much as the regular $2 cost, that extra $1 gi

Location of WinnersReply
There are several factors that contribute to this phenomenon in my country: - *Accessibility and Marketing*: Lottery tickets are often more accessible in lower-income areas, with more retailers and prominent advertising. This can make it more likely for people in these areas to buy tickets. - *Financial Stress*: People in lower-income areas may feel more financial stress and see the lottery as a way to escape their financial difficulties. This can lead to more frequent purchases. - *

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I'm just done with Mega Millions altogether. I played it since it was available in California, so a sample size that runs around 20ish years. The most I ever won was matching 3 numbers for probably around $10. $5 a ticket just became a barrier I wasn't willing to pass through. Whatever I would have normally spent just went to other draw games like California Fantasy 5 tickets instead. The actual jackpot total plays no part in my decision to buy a ticket or not. I also just get 1 ticket per

because in lotteries the more you study, the more difficult it becomes to predict the next drawReply
Currently I am experimenting with a 2 step process. Step 1. Classify the last 150 draws (NOT the full history) which gives each digit a fair chance to appear 15 times in each position. Use a strict classification boundary of one standard deviation above and below the 10% expectancy, and eliminate hots and colds as outliers. Step 2. Fill in the remaining neutral numbers into lists and use them in a QP generator I wrote in Python. The end result is just one combo, free of any bias I ma

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I might or might not have won anything actually playing 1 ticket for each drawing. I do not know, you do not know, nobody really knows. It is a game of chance. ! GRIN ! One of the tickets from my planned big purchase could hit the monster jackpot simply because I bought more than one ticket in that purchase. Who knows...? Certainly not me, but I am having fun right now while saving money for the moonshot. But according to my past purchase pattern I have been right so far. In fact, when I was

Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
If you could reduce the odds for PB to 1 in 250 million and you spent $1000 per drawing you could still only expect to win once in about 3200 years. But, unxspectedly win waaaay B4 then..if ya uze..

Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
The lottery doesn't follow a linear pattern The lottery doesn't follow any patterns at all. There might be patterns in the past random results, but those patterns are an effect, not a cause. The drawings might not be perfectly random, but they're extremely close. Even if you could determine the very small deviations from perfectly random that result from a particular set of balls or a particular machine you'd have to know exactly what the deviations are and also know what machine and ba
