Mathematics and the LotteryReply
Brad Duke claimed he had a system and as far as I know he only won big once using it. That Silver guy sells a system he claims is the same system that Duke used and I have yet to hear any lottery winner say he used his system. It's even hard to break even when you play all the possible combinations.

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?Reply
JADE, I think the discrepancy you're seeing is just due to the fundamental problem with the lottery industry referring to probability as odds. I posted about this many times before, eg: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/267366/3307806 Basically: probability = chances for / total chances (or x in y) odds = chances for : chances against (or x to y) So for Powerplay, what the lottery calls odds is really the probability: 2x - 1 in 2 (or 5 in 10) 3x - 1 in 3.33 (or 3 in 10)

How Many Folks Gave Up On Powerball When It Went To $2?Reply
I just got back into playing PB and here's my reason... the odds are better for matching 5 numbers than MM. Yes but did you bother to calculate the odds of winning per two dollars spent?

Illinois Lottery adds new feature to numbers gamesReply
Oh really, my mistake. Your account ID says new member, Sept 1, 2013. In general, you aren't supposed to make more than one account on LP. What was your old ID? As for AoN, you say my 56% number is incorrect and should be 51%, so could you then show me your math, and compare that to the graph in the link in my post above? For the IL Pick3 plus Fireball, the basic odds should look something like this: IL Pick 3 plus Fireball (Str) $2 Total Return Prizes Odds 1 in Match 62.50%

OK, they fixed their incorrect odds on $5 LFL remaining prizes table. I thought they'd fix it with this morning's update, figuring it was just the weekend guy screwing up or something, but was still wrong. So I sent them a note that they were showing incorrect odds, and they updated it this afternoon.

nickbrownsfan When I make a statement or suggestion I have a split personallity of sorts. While I don't believe in prediction per say I do believe that by ranging values a person can make some very good choices. I don't consider this prediction but an informed/educated guess. I can't by math prove many of the methods I use. The game is fixed and no matter how you slice it the odds never change but at the same time I have done far better then the odds would suggest.
