How to Beat Powerball: And drastically reduce the odds (theory)...Reply
I made 2 mistakes...I previously said: Here is the amazing part: The same scenario occurs with the 31 E/O types...Also of those 31 E/O types, 10 are the most rare ones so if you like you can eliminate the 10 that rest and that leaves you with 21...Now If you go FORWARD so many draws from the first PB draw 'til 4/21/07 here is what i meant to say: Here is the amazing part: The same scenario occurs with the 31 E/O types...Also of those 31 E/O types, 10 are the most rare ones so if you like

These are the type of people that will tell you fire can't melt steel, pi is of apple, blueberry, etc.. mathematically or factually challenged people are everywhere. Here is an odds explanation that is pretty good that moderator left out the reduction of the set size. This is off a lottery math site discussing whether it is better to spend $50 on 1 game or $1 on 50 games. The odds of a Lotto style lottery can be found with the formula: n! / (n - r)! r! where n is the highest numbered ball

I've always seen the lotto as having two possibilities, you either win, or you don't.
