Jewel Whittaker, wife of the lottery winner who took home the richest undivided jackpot in U.S. history a lump-sum payout of about $113 million after taxes now says she regrets his purchase of the ticket that won the $314.9 million jackp

PowerBall 12-22-04: The Pigskin ChallengeReply
JAG331, pigskin, kbcherokee, et alI wasn't trying to be a grinch. I was just trying to keep the challenge meaningful and promote improved prediction skills. I'd be glad to have the Chief as a participant in the challenge. In fact, I think I've come up with a way that he can use his twelve numbers. Actually, under these proposed new rules, I'd like to drop down to using just nine numbers for my selection field. Here's what I have in mind.The Pigskin ChallengeA challenger must declare himself to b

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
Excellent article Jim! By the way, I have probably spent enough this year to break anyone and still cannot hit for a simple 100.00 here in Indiana. I need to check my tickets for today but I believe I hit in SC today on 3877. I can go through my thousands of tickets and get winners everywhere but here. Like Jim said SC has a great Lottery when u compare it to Indiana. This Lottery should be named off by one every other day. I personally believe that there is no way I could get these kind of resu

Texas 12/09 Midday 679...That's it.Reply
Justin,Thanks for the info. It's easy to miss. I had the 158 in a group of 28 combinations that I worked out. I just tried to narrow it down a great deal more. That's why I settled on 679. 679 might come along tonight on next Midday - you know how that goes - believe in a number, it doesn't hit, you move on, the it hits.I don't play online and don't know how. I have to go to the local convenience store and pay the minimum of 50 cents. So, if I had played all 28 numbers it would have cost $

A MAJOR gripe about Powerball!!
Hi folks,I've been lurking for quite some time now, but decided to join this evening (and thank you, Todd, for setting up this site).OK, now on to my little rant that I've have with Powerball!As you probably know by now, there was a winner in last Saturday's draw, but the powers-to-be had decided NOT to inform the players about it untill AFTER tonight's drawing!!! WTF is up with that? Is the MUSL actually withholding winning info in order to increase the pot a little higher?This is not the only

computerized drawings...a findingReply

Hmmm, law of averages perhaps ?
Hello all, i stumbled onto this site and got sucked in ! So this is my first post, please be gentle :)I have been working on various programs for four years on off and refuse (stubbonly) to believe that it's impossible to predict the lottery (yea i know call me stupid).Mathematically (i'm no mathematician) each lotto draw is an independent dvent which takes no notice of any previous draws or results. Physically the balls cannot have a memory or a program, i understand all this however, it seem
