Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The supported jackpot is $69.7 million whereas in the previous run, the supported jackpot was $66.9 million. And the cash value is now 41.9 vs 39.9. The annuity value is 4.19% higher than in the previous run, but cash value, which is a direct measurement of sales is 4.77% higher. That may be an indication that as players buy in when the jackpot gets bigger the $5 price becomes something they're okay with at lower jackpot levels, too. Or it might just be because very high jackpots tend t

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
The growth of the MM jackpot has certainly been muted. I'm not surprised in the least as there has been zero hype around the jackpot since it surpassed the $700mm threshold. Usually when a jackpot goes above the $500mm threshold, you see news articles and chatter about it. This time around, nada... I'm actually wondering what MM will be like once it resets back to $50mm. I can see a day where a jackpot can easily go 8-9 months or even a year without being won due to such little activity. On

So if you find a winning formula, it's considered fraud?Reply
Pick one digit to repeat. If it does and the next draw is a single, guaranteed win. Except when one or both of the other two digits repeat with your one key digit and you lose $21. And the last time I looked there are 120 ways to make a straight by keying your one repeat digit with the remaining seven digits in 6-way combos. You have a 1 in 3 chance of a guaranteed win. Really? There are 21 ways to win and 99 ways to miss and a 16.6% probability of getting a straight win guarantee

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Yes, it's very telling the advertised jackpot increase is only $10 M after 8 rollovers. Do you understand how the game and its financing work? Both PB and MM have always started with artificially high jackpots that aren't fully funded, and never had more than the minimum increase until there's enough cash to fully fund the jackpot. The smaller jackpot of the old format was funded quickly. With the new format the jackpot would remain artificially high for more drawings with exactly the same

Is It The Game Or Your System?Reply
You see a 3 digit combination, such as 456, that looks good to you so you decide to play it. You play it every day and days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months turn into years, which results in the loss of hundreds or thousands of dollars. That is an evil that I have experienced and I imagine other players have experienced it too. I'm not gonna blame the lottery, even though it is predatory. I blame my system and therefore, myself. In otherwords, it is back to

DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007
This was bought to my attention from jimjwright regarding my prior post of DC Pick 5 1-200 million odds As of right now Dc 5 has played all single digits 36 times in a row. Not 1 duplicate digit has been played in the 36 draws. Duplicate digits make up roughly 70% of the numbers. Mathematically this is impossible and seems to be what happened to pick 3 and Pick 4 in Tennessee in 2007 Tenn. Lottery audit: players spent $2 million on worthless tickets $2M in tickets un

Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
I've always believed that state lotteries truly want winners, especially big jackpot winners. What does rigging a draw do for the state? I think there are two obvious reasons for the lotteries themselves to rig the game(s). One would be so that a few insiders could divert prize money to themselves. The other, and better, IMHO, reason would be to allow a jackpot to continue growing in order to boost sales. The problem is that no matter how much the people running the lottery might apprec

Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
Just think about it in midday Wisconsin the digit #5 hasn't been hit since January 6th IOW, the #5 has come up, but by limiting the data points you're looking at you can find a partial set of data in which it doesn't show up. Cool. Still, let's pretend that the midday drawing, using the exact same procedures and equipment as for the other drawings (and ignoring the results of any test drawings that might be conducted), is somehow completely separate from those other drawings. Each time

Lottery Numbers Aren't Meant To Be RandomReply
So, your new answer after your first flopped where you said its because they wanted to make sure the machine is working properly. Now, you have a revised answer: 'because people don't trust the lottery.' [Pausing for a moment of laughter] Oh boy.... ! Anyway, you might want to revised that answer for a 3rd attempt because the Texas Lottery only show a live drawing .....they never show the pre-test process. And have no intention of doing so. So from here, you j
