Florida lottery winner discovers unemployment benefits collected by imposterNews Story
Charles Dennis Engelhardt's legacy of state lottery winnings took a strange turn this month when Florida's unemployment offices (DEO) and Florida Lottery withheld his $600 Florida Lotto X winnings to cover part of a current debt balance of $1,799 for an unemployment overpayment. Engelhardt told News 6 the notices made no sense because he and his wife retired in early 2014 and have had no reason to collect unemployment benefits over the last 8 years. We were making close to what we were m

VIDEO: Why we hate computerized drawingsNews Story
You'll never want to watch an animated lottery drawing again By Kate Northrop If you know Lottery Post, you know we hate computerized drawings, but it's not that we dislike computers and technology... so why all the hate? There are far too many documented incidents that prove again and again why computerized lottery drawings are too risky, no matter how many safety precautions and procedures are in place. Lottery players overwhelmingly prefer traditional ball machine drawings b

Rigged PowerballReply
Rigged or fraud? Option 3, neither. Your dry spell is not a conspiracy. Odds of winning powerball is 1 in 292,201,338. Imagine that you are in a room with 292,201,338 sq ft tiles. That would be a room 3.237 miles square (5.21 km square). You have to pay $2 to enter the room, then stroll around to a random tile. If you stood on the right tile, you won. But if you are 1 number off (statstalkeritis), you didn't miss by one tile . 69 X 68 X 67 X 66 X 65 / 120 X 26 = 292,201,338

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
But isn't fraud their main concern. Not some random guy, creating his own unique data Yea,.. I would surmise, .. but that would be if someone is winning illegally, or changing serial numbers , or winning numbers on tickets.. etc But, what my data and tickets shows is that their motto is We can screw YOU, but you can't screw US ..!! They can't accuse me of cheating,.. for the Math is honest.. and accurate.. The ONLY process accurate enough to cause them to realize that, ..if and whe

Combinatorics & Modus TollensReply
I don't think there is a new discovery per se using the bell curve. IMO, there is a section of the bell curve that is optimal if one considers an optimal long term strategy. This could be related to certain Vortex Math Numbers, but I am focusing on what I know,( or have found to be generally true of the long term.) and am not hypothesizing anything at this time. In Gail Howard terms, I am looking for the flag. Now flag is quite a crummy term for a pattern, and will not yield any results if yo

Ramdom numbersReply
but why is it when we try methods out on paper 'X' number of draws and we get great results but as soon as we go live we tend to be one number off or completely out of the ballpark? A rational way of explaining that question is, it's probably because what we mark on our paper/ study sheet doesn't change, unless of course, WE change it.. also maybe we're on the right track , but got off the trail of Mathematical perfection somewhere along the way..resulting in what I've termed.. the ole

The world may never know who won a $202 million lottery jackpotReply
The whole concept is to make money for the state, not turn people into click bait fodder. You think the two have no connection? What you call click bait fodder is what the lottery calls marketing. Maybe there really are people who won't take a chance on winning millions of dollars because they can't be anonymous, but I'm guessing that's more than offset by people who buy tickets based on stories about other people who won. We all know that sales for PB and MM are a lot slower than they used

Lottery strategy: fact or fiction?Reply
It's all about numbers, math, money, strategy, and timing....Granted, there's a major difference in a 500:1 and a 900:1 Pick3/4 game....and it's actually ALL the difference in winning more easily and consistently....I honestly believe that those with a solid understanding of math, probability, and combinatorial optimization will fare substantially better. I. I agree with your points, and seek to expound on a few if I may.. It is really about the Math,.. for if IT'S right, then it doesn'
