Which odds are better?Reply
It is my contention that even though the machine is random at picking balls, the event is not completely random because the balls are numbered. I know that should not matter but the fact remains, part of the event is a numbered and ordered set of balls. Even a slot machine which has a RNG chip tends to run hot and cold. How is that possible?

Determination versus Free WillReply
But in a quantum world, the quantum event is a will independent event. Sometimes universes just happen , now and then (whatever now and then means) they pop into existence and sometimes they don't. And therefore and thereby, in a quantum world the answer is both no and yes (no? )

Help Please: Similarities between Lottery & Insurance: my last post for 2008Reply
One similarity is that you should always expect to pay more than you collect, and make your purchase decisions accordingly. Spending an extra $100 per year to reduce a collision deductible by $500 is a bad idea unless you absolutely can't afford to pay the extra $500 at once in the unlikely event that you have an accident. Spending money on the lottery is a bad idea if you can't afford to pay the extra $500 in the unlikely event that you have an accident.

Same numbers, Same State, Same Day?Reply
No, it's just the way the numbers come up. One states or provinces games have nothing to do with the other. They are all separate lottery jurisdictions. It's neat when it happens, but each lottery draw is just an event...and sometime as history repeats itself, it's just an odd event.

What is up with MM/PBReply
If you think of the jackpot size as a random event, just as who wins what is a random event, then you would expect the jackpot sizes to be randomly distributed and follow a bell curve distribution, just like any random distribution. Therefore, I would expect very large jackpots to represent only 2% of the jackpots, with most most of the jackpots falling around whatever the average turns out to be.

60-day clock (cash v annuity)Reply
Back when Ohio has Super Lotto Plus, players had the option to change their mind if they chose the annuity. What I would do was choose annuity, and in the event that I win, and in the event that I would decide to take the cash, I would do so.

Prediction ChallengeReply
Yea, it would be interesting to see what would happen if we all concentrated on the same exact event, regardless of the unique method that each person used to arrive at their digit. You never know, the collective intellect of the whole of lottery post crunching away at the outcome of a single chosen event could in itself prove to be a more powerful strategy than anything that is currently out there on its own.

time traveler conventionReply
I've already attended this event a week from now. Boring, really; a bunch of lectures on quantum this and fluxing that. For me, the highlight of the entire event was meeting the mortician who buried me in another 45 years. SOB stole my wedding ring, my best tie and my mistress, so I asked his grandmother out. While I'm not one to kiss and tell, let's just say he won't be able to brag about his ancestry any longer.Oh, yeah; I forgot to mention the lottery tickets...
