Some general lottery info
The Balance of Lotto BalanceThese numbers are of balanced number drawings. When you have fewer numbers, the chance of occurrence is bigger. 1. HIGH LOW: if you list the winning numbers from lowest first digit to the highest last digit, you will be able to draw a line between the third and the fourth. Here is an example: 10/09/93 05-14-18-|-26-28-39 10/16/93 04-15-16-|-28-31-4010/23/93 02-19-22-|-27-34-4710/30/93 02-05-09-|-14-30-34In this example you can consider that the mid point is at, 24/2

How Astronomical Is It To Get The Number Right In Each Column?Reply
By the data, that makes 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 49 the most likely combo in any 6/49. This is a common misperception. That combo and any other combo has exactly the same probability of occurrence. Using our posts about Combinatorial Fractalization and Combinatorial Distribution , the moment we fix a column to a number changes the way we calculate the probabilities of the remaining numbers in each column successively. Properly calculated for each successive fixed number in each column

A Texas Lottery jackpot was "bought" last year, but legislators are pushing wrong solutionNews Story
Media echo chamber confuses problem and misleads public Exclusive Lottery Post investigative report By Kate Northrop Last year, a New Jersey-based group essentially bought a $95 million Lotto Texas jackpot by purchasing all the possible number combinations. Now state legislators are eying possible measures to prevent it from happening again, but those solutions may do more harm than good. A New Jersey-based group called Rook TX gamed the odds by buying nearly every number combin

Megamillions and Powerball GamesReply
Jimbo To make it easy lets say that we have 100 balls of which 75 are red and 25 are blue. Let me see, Hmmmm. I know that 7.5 out of every 10 attempts a red ball will be drawn and 2.5 out of every 10 will be blue. If I pick red then the odds will be 75/100 or 75% that I will match the correct color. The chance of matching both the color and value are 1/100 = 1% If I choose blue then I expect to be correct concerning color 2.5 out of every 10 attemp

Lottery fever is alive and well in New JerseyNews Story
They call themselves the Coolers, based on the 2003 Las Vegas thriller The Cooler, starring William Macy.

Unlike the movie, this group has not encountered Lady Luck and has yet to pinpoint its cooler. But that doesn't stop them from continuing their 15-year tradition of Thursday lottery lunches. It's no coincidence that Thursday just happens to be when the Pick 6 is drawn.

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
Raffles are the one lottery format where the odds are fully knowable up front fixed ticket pool, fixed prizes, no randomness in the denominator once sales cap. Kind of refreshing after the draw games where you're staring down 1-in-300-million. Does FL cap the ticket count this time, or is it open-ended?
