Different totals in Jackpot Analysis
Todd, After the big Powerball win, I started charting all the analysis info for both Mega Millions and Powerball. I noticed something that didn't make sense after the next JP win. As you see below, the $40 mil analysis for PB is different. Shouldn't they be the same value? There is a 1.4 million difference in what I think should be the same value. 40,000,000 24,900,000 18,675,000 50,000,000 30,600,000 22,950,000 60,000,000 36,600,000 27,450,000 70,000,000 42,900,000 32

Anyone know how to do this for Powerball combinations?
I want to be able to figure out only combinations that exist in the 85% effective percentage range of 130-179 without the powerball so that I can only choose from the combinations that yield the most times drawn. By doing so I can throw out any combination that exists that does not fit into my pre-determined play range.I know this will still yield A LOT of combinations, but at least it will be fewer than including all combinations. Does anyone know how this can be created in excel? Thanks.

People, prediction, computers and softwares.
Some people might think that accurate prediction of lottery numbers is either impossible or that if it can be done, it can only be done with supercomputers and or by a maths genius. A computer, super or not, can't do anything by itself, it needs to have programs' instructions in it and somebody using it right, without software and an operator it is expensive trash. As for a math genius or Ph.D. he or she can't predict accurate lottery numbers any better than Joe the carpenter and or Richar

N.Y. Lottery may lift curbs on Quick Draw keno gameNews Story
Pronto Lotto does not look like much. It sits outside the entrance to a busy subway stop in Elmhurst, Queens, supplying passers-by with cereal, chips and milk like any other bodega.
