Proposal: National KENO Lottery!Reply
It would be fun all right; especially getting $50,000 for matching 6 out 10 when the odds are 1 in 87. And getting a half million for matching sure beats the $40 I get in Ohio's Ten-Oh game! Look at the actually odds and you might consider reevaluating your payoffs. MATCH ODDS 10 1:8,911,711 9 1: 163,381 8 1: 7,385 7 1: 621 6 1: 87 5 1: 19 0 1: 22

Can you SMELL that PA STENCH?Reply
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. I'm not gonna do a search of all your posts just to prove that you refuse to take responsibility for all your PA Cash 5 posts where you criticize the superior 5/39 game instead of this dismal 5/43 game. That's YOUR responsibility. I'm only responsible for holding you accountable! But for the sake of LP readers, let's look at your post a week or so ago, one which you have yet to own or take responsibility for or defend! Apparently realizing that PA lacked a class

The study is not really done from the standpoint of a lottery fan, with the exception of the computerized drawings thing. Odds printed on front or back of ticket -- 5 Annuity amount or cash value on ticket -- 2 We walk into a store, go over to the lottery terminal and ask the clerk for $1 QP Lotto ticket and hand them a buck. We look at the ticket and see the Jackpot is $3 million, the pretax cash value is $1.5 million, and look at the back of the ticket and see the odds of winnin

A multi-millionaire, who has been waiting for the lottery to get up this high for a long time, assembles a team, calculates the odds of 1 in 23,000,000 to 1 in 25,000,000, and begins. He plays 30,000,000 tickets at over a 60 million dollar investment. Within 15 hours, his team has the tickets with secure transportations and the best times with the least wait.

Today's drawing for the Massachusetts State Lottery's Star Spangled Sweepstakes is likely to be bittersweet, except for the game's winners. Lottery officials will hand out $40 million in prize money to 51 ticket holders even though the game generated ticket sales of only $28 million to $30 million. The results can be found here: https://www.lotterypost.com/ma-lottery-raffle-2007-07-04.asp The money-losing game is one reason the lottery fell short of matching last year's overall reve

Lottery harder to win in Atlantic CanadaNews Story
Lottery players are twice as likely to die in a car crash on the way to the store to get their tickets than to win the big jackpot, says the Toronto statistician who has crunched the numbers of the Ontario lottery. Jeffrey Rosenthal said the odds in Atlantic Canada seem to be stacked even higher against ticket holders, in light of news that retailers have won 10 times more than statistically probable over a six-year period. If you buy it and you are not careful, even if you do defy the od

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

I took advanced mathematics in college. I'm pretty versed on the subject of probablity. Go back and look at how you started this thread. You asked a question about probability that had a simple answer that you didn't know and couldn't figure out on your own.Simple probability allows us to very easily and precisely calculate the odds, but you asked what we thought the odds would be. Somebody who can't do such basic calculations on probability is not pretty versed in probability, regardle
