Straight Into The Heart Of "Absolute Versatility": Part IIReply
To be on the same wave lenght for the discussion here I am using your number groups with the A B C. What I am looking for when I do columns I am looking for the cycle and repetition of a group of lottery numbers. Actual lottery numbers in columns have a tendency to run in groups in a column for a bit and then break to a new group at varied intervals. The new group may continue on a run in that column or it may not. I use software to track the groups in their column(s) so I have an idea what

Realities of winning the lottery
The odds of winning the record $370+ million Mega Millions jackpot is greater than 170 million to one. It's a big number and it's a hard number to put into perspective. If you play $1 each draw, it is expected that you will have to put up your $1 for 170 million drawings before it is statistically likely for your numbers to hit. But that's based on buying only one ticket at a time. Most people buy many tickets and a lot of people participate in lotto pools to increase their chances of

U.S. legislation likely just a speed bump for online gamblingNews Story
A U.S. law aimed at cracking down on Internet gambling may drive the practice more into the shadows and do little to deter bettors It was getting late on Oct. 12, the night before a sweeping anti-Internet gambling bill would be signed into law. Paul McGuire was at his computer, enjoying one last hurrah on PartyPoker, a site that had pledged to kick off all U.S. users as soon as the law left President Bush's desk. It was kind of like that last party before summer ends when you've got to go ba
