Long odds don't bother 'Mega' fansNews Story
Charles Millard wasn't under any illusion. My chance is a zillion to one, the 60-year-old Johnson City man said on Monday as he bought a ticket for tonight's historic $355 million Mega Millions drawing. Still, across the Greater Binghamton region, players such as Millard lined up Monday at convenience stores and newsstands for a chance to win the largest pot in New York Lottery history, even though they acknowledged their odds were as long as Binghamton being named the sunshine capital o

50/50 odds going way to0 far off balance!
Whats your gut feeling on this? There are 50/50 odds situations all over the place in P-3 right? We all know how that works right? We know what it looks like over time don't we? We know how they act. Well.... I am beginning to find situations where they don't act the same. Not what we are used to anyway. One of these is..... Short Sums. Each Short Sum represents 100 numbers. If 5 sums are missing ...thats 500 of the 1000 chart. 500 numbers are all skipping at the same time.

Second $1M lottery win for deli worker defies all oddsNews Story
What we're going to talk about today was a one-in-a-million shot. OK, technically the chances were 1 in 3,669,120,000,000 that the New York deli worker who won $1 million from a state lottery game four years ago would win another $1 million in the lottery a month ago. The number of zeros stuck at the end of that figure makes her repeat victory just slightly more difficult than a singer winning Simon's approval on American Idol. The first time I couldn't believe it, Valerie Wilson repor

6/19-last top prize in Unlucky for Life?Reply
Booby prize meaning terrible odds for lowly pay-out? I think MD's Multi-Match game which replaced Classic Lotto is of the same boobyness. They eliminated a perfectly good game which grew in size and had a decent pay-out, for a rip-off pay, to pay, to pay game. The game goes like this; each play is $2.00 you pick 6 numbers then the LOTTERY COMPUTER picks another 2 sets of 6 numbers for a total of 3 sets of 6 numbers! If you have pairs or triples on consecutive lines you win small prizes like th
