Mathematics and the LotteryReply
The odds of 6 consecutive heads are 1 in 64, true, but the odds of 3 heads after 3 heads already came up are 1 in 8. It makes no difference that the first three were heads. In fact the odds of getting any 6 outcomes in a row are 1 in 64, because there are exactly 64 possibilities.

Gold Rush TriplerReply
Although I am excited to try the new Gold Rush Tripler, here's my problem with what the Florida Lottery website says: GOLD RUSH TRIPLER offers better odds at winning $30 to $500 compared to previous Gold Rush games... That isn't true!!! The $30 prize level is brand new.....the odds at hitting $40 got worse, and the odds at hitting $500 got worse. How can they make the statement that the odds are better? Nevertheless, I'll be trying one as soon as possible....I guess I'm a sucker. Grrrrr
