What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
For me, a system is a program that pick combinations within parameters I choose. If I want all 56 MegaMillions core numbers in 12 lines, it does it. If I want all 46 megaballs in 46 lines, it does it. If I want 10 lines for the next MegaMillions drawing that have no combinations of threes from previous drawings, no sets of sequential numbers, sums between 100 and 200 and what ever else I can dream up, it does it. It doesn't have to be repeatable because no matter how restrictive my parameters ar

Jimboo-boo!!!!!! What is it with you an QPs? Breathe deep here, and define what you are talking about. Are you referring to QPs as the machine generated numbers for single draw, or any random set of numbers in general? Oh, and Joan Ginter might have problems with your math. Fact: Joan blew up all your math. Her beating the odds was quoted at 1 in 18 septillion. It looks like this: 1 in 18,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 In case you don't know Joan Ginter, she received her doctorate f

And personally, my idea of hitting the lottery isn't a $40 to $600 payoff. That's why I asked should we be comparing systems for a $600 jackpot to systems for multi-million dollar jackpots. Pick-3 and pick-4 games have no secondary prizes so those systems have to predict the drawn number. You can still collect something matching 2, 3, or 4 numbers playing pick-5 games and can collect a nice jackpot by matching 5 numbers playing PB and MM. We can assume the intent of a system is to match all

What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
The only value in back testing a jackpot winning system would be to Pumpi who talks about hitting multiple jackpots and winning billions. Since we already know the system was successful once, there is no value in finding the system might have created other jackpot winners from back testing when we can't go back in time and use it. For lotto and pick-5 games I have a program that shows how many 2, 3, 4, and/or 5 number hits any group of any 16 numbers had over whatever number of past drawings

Hey Steve and Slugger. You notice a variable of our 910 did comeback... Goodlord.. That was fast.. Grr mad at myself that I didnt think to play 180 lol.. But loa energy is indeed guiding us in link to the jackpots. I sense that triple 999 around the corner.... Smooches and bearhuggs 999 as it arrives to our NY numbers game multiple times. Congrats to everyone that did figure a number close to 901 would show up. Awesome winners... More cash on the way.

Annuity OptionReply
I voted, no. Only because it allows the lotto to advertise larger jackpots. A 100 million annuitized jackpot is going to generate more buzz than a much smaller present day amount. Granted it's the same amount but 100 million looks so much better in the newspapers and will attract more casual players. More players means an even bigger jackpot if no one wins and the jackpot rolls over. I completely disagree with your characterization of taking the lump sum payment. Taking the present day val

Redeeming winning ticketsReply
Last year, I won $400 on Powerball and was able to cash it at a convenience store. What they did was give me 2 $200 money orders for it. I asked for 2 because I was splitting the money with my wife. We have joint accounts but we also have small accounts for our own little purchases of things we want for ourselves. The only thing they had to do was call their regional office for the procedure, but that only took a minute. What was also cool was even though I was willing to do so, I didn't have to

Doesnt appear so according to the Nylottery.org website. Winning Counties: Greene Retailer Locations: CLOTHESPIN LAUNDROMAT, RTE 9W WALMART PLAZA, CATSKILL Looks like they used their own numbers so a big congrats to whoever it was, who just beat the 1 in 195 million odds! It gives me hope when I hear about people winning jackpots without using the quick pick option , it just makes me think to myself that I might not always have to depend on a Quickpick to try t
