The Real Reason Why The Powerball Lottery Game Jackpot Will Be Impossible To Win At Odds Of 1:292MReply
Benefiting the players depends what they realistically believe their chances of winning are and what prize they should expect. With PB, it's 1:12,245 to win $100 and MM is 1:10,720 to win $50. If those players understand their chances of winning the larger prizes are much less realistic, they could play games with similar odds with much higher prize payouts like pick-4. If they still want the unrealistic chance of winning the jackpot, using the powerplay and megaplier options will raise the priz

Neural Net Lottery PickerReply
Hi, Here some screen shots of the new ANN application I'm working on. This application, 'Perceplotron' uses number statistics as input to feed the Neural Network algorithm. For each number a ranking value (probability value) is calculated (as output of the ANN tool) so you are now able to select the top x ranking numbers as output. Here some test results of the tool.

New national lottery with a twistReply
Not sure if I interpreted it correctly, but seems like a great idea, definitely much better idea than the monopoly game. As I understand it, if a ticket is $2, $1 would go towards the state lottery and $1 towards the national lottery. Each state would hold the exact same drawing on the same day. Then after every state has their drawings and winners are announced, there is a second drawing, but nationally this time and every state's winner has a 1 in 50 chance of winning this second jackpot.

Why is it so difficult for some to...Reply
I don't care which state wins, I only care that I haven't won. Every ticket has an equal chance of winning, but states do not. It's statistically logical that the states with the largest ticket sales would have a higher percentage of winners, but me moving to those states doesn't make me any more likely to win. As for the Right Honorable Usain St Leo Bolt, bitter lottery players should adopt his advice: it doesn't matter how you start, it's how you finish never stop believing and great things

What do you NEED to come up with a Winning Lotto System??Reply
Another thing which is nice about my file is that you can key in your favorite number in the Enter Number = area. Do the sort as describe above find out if you had any hits since they went to the 4 draws a day. I know that there are 10,000 possible combinations and that there only have been 2496 drawings so far. Lets do the math ---- You have 2496 drawings to date. My 531 Groups are made up of 2.393 drawings boxed that have hit multiple times . You have 103 drawings that only hit once. My 531 Gr

if you were going to buy (30) $20 tickets how would you do it?Reply
$20 tickets on average usually have odds of winning at 1 in 3. From what I have seen when buying books, yes, there is usually at least one decent winner in there (i.e., $200 to $500). However, if you buy the whole book, you've spent more than that good winner is worth, so you're still down at the end of the day. As a result, if I had $600 to throw at some $20 scratchers, I would do so in 10 ticket blocks from three different rolls. The odds say you would get three winners from each book

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
So, $30 for lousy odds and only 4 top prizes? And people will buy this why? I know they have $30 tickets in other states -- are they similar to CA? Maybe they think people will buy over the draw games since the odds are better. But still ... and they want to go to $50? I cant even win a few dollars on the draw game these days. I use to wn 50-90-200 all the time when they first started. Now winning a dollar is a rare event. :(

New York instant scratch off tickets - new tickets with less odds to winReply
Yes the Quick 600's only goes up to 30 but the odds are just awful. Hope this new ten dollar ticket has improved odds. I do hope they keep it at 40. Wasn't it only recently (a couple of years ago) that they went from 30 to 40 numbers? The reason why I think it may go to 50 for the new ten dollar ticket is because the chances to win have increased - from 15 to 20. Who knows - they may do 45 numbers! I do hope this new game brings us all some luck!

Join me in Hoping " Big time" that a LP member wins either MM/PB soon..Reply
how many members does this place, have? 100k? Even with that many active members buying at least 10 tickets per drawing, that's only 1M and the odds are 1:175M. Even if they were buying 10 tickets per drawing for my state local game with odds of 1:14M they wouldn't be likely to have a jackpot winner. In spite of LP members interest in lotteries, their predictions show they aren't any more likely to have a jackpot winner than any other similar sized group of players but like everyone else
