After months of pounding numbers calcu.....Reply
I think these posts underline two facts: 1. Number selection in any lottery is random. The machine doesn't know what the odds are or care that #1 has come up 150 times, compared to 45 times for #5. The little balls are agitated by a paddle in a drum. They all seek to escape, a condition that occurs a fixed number of times. The ball closest to the air shute or drop path wins. There is no code. It's the way it works, and it has been working very well for many years. It might be different wi

The Central Computer System
For lottery players everywhere, there is one part of the lottery that is rarely talked about. It's the central computer system that each province or state uses to record every lottery ticket combination that is put through a lottery terminal. In Ontario, the central computer system is the epitomy of integrity . It has to be. Whenever a lottery player goes to a retailer and opts for a quick pick or chooses his or her lucky numbers, the central computer records the selection in its data

A 52-year-old maintenance man collected a $163 million lottery jackpot Monday. Now you can call him a retired maintenance man. Ben Chason chose to take his winnings in a lump sum, receiving about $66 million after taxes. Chason bought the winning ticket in Friday's Mega Millions drawing at a convenience store in Bainbridge, where he was a maintenance man for the housing authority.

Supercomputers & the lotto....Part2..Reply
There is no question in my mind whatsoever that if I could spend $360 per drawing, I would snag a pick-5 within 4-6 months, but I only allow myself $10 and do what I think is right. you could probably do it with 156 tickets. if you chose the 2 digits that repeat from month to month and wheel the rest. 'The weakest link as always will be the human programming the machine. ' can't argue that point many times it has much to do with what you imput. And that is the STRONGEST lin

Hello: mrbg. I have been playing 526 since last year. Had it for a quick pick several times. It is the most due box combo, midday and evening. Let's go! Hoping for a 2 digit return from the 569! I'll take 456 or, 526. Good Luck.

Wow, I didn't know that. You could just put a few numbers, and then fill in quick pick and the system will fill out the rest? That's actually an interesting strategy. If we're looking at the latest draws, then repeats are due tonight, or really soon. If you look at column RPT , that means repeat. We haven't had one for a few evening draws as you can see. repeats usually happen after 1-3 draws. This is one of the longer stretches. So technically, I would put one of each 5 balls in their own

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Twenty years. Same numbers. Winning next to nothing. I am astounded that you played the same numbers for twenty years. I am impressed by your persistence and patience. I am actually curious. Did you play the same numbers for Powerball, Mega Millions, and the other lotteries in your state? I would think that those numbers would eventually at least come close to win a smaller prize in one of those games over that length of time. I used to get excited when jackpots where high. No
