Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
I think JAG might be right. This is not going anywhere. But what I've said so far doesnt agree with what you've said justxploring. What I've said so far proves that when you buy 2 tickets the odds are 1 in 87,855,769. If you buy 3 the odds are 1 in 58,570,513. As you keep on adding 1 more ticket the odds decrease by a smaller number. If someone was to buy 1,000,000 different combinations, the odds will be approximately 1 in 176 (175,711,536 divided by 1,000,000). Sure if you by 2 ticket

Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
Not really, but I do agree we'll never agree this way. Saying 2 tickets changes the odds of a 1 in 140 million odd game to 1 in 70 million is assuming that each ticket is only gambling on 1/2 of the combinations. But when you have 2 tickets that are betting on all 140 million combinations, the odds are NOT cut in half. Sure, I agree if you had 2 separate games where there were 70 million possibilities (and this also applies to games with lesser odds) then buying a ticket for each game would p

Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
The math and the logic are both very easy, but you're starting off with at least one major mistake, and logic only works if your premises are valid. Doubling your chances of winning and halving your chances of losing are not the same thing. If I had the vaguest idea of why it isn't fundamentally obvious to some people that doubling the number of tickets doubles the chances it might be easier to explain, but I really don't know what make it difficult for some people. When the odds are 1 in 7

QuestionReply
Any set of numbers CA SLP can generate is capable of being duplicated in PB and MM. Therefore the limiting factor is CA SLP. The tone of your question does not specify that the numbers drawn in CA SLP have to be a specific set, so the odds of getting any specific combination in that game can be eliminated and the numbers drawn in both PB and MM must meet the smaller matrix requirements of CA SLP. Formula for total PB possibilities, whether within the CA SLP matrix or not: ((55!/50!)/(5!))x42

Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
Why is it so hard for some people to understand that halving the odds while doubling the price of a ticket doesn't actually change anything? If you're willing to pay $2 for a ticket if the odds are half of what they are now, you don't need the lottery to change the game.Just buy 2 $1 tickets and you'll get exactly the same results. Average jackpots are a function of the odds and how much money goes into the prize pool for each ticket sold. If the odds of winning are 1 in 100 million, the

This story and the other stories about people winning twice are the perfect answer to your last question. The odds of winning are always a function of the game's odds and how many tickets you have, and only a function of the game's odds and how many tickets you have. Nothing else matters. Buy a ticket and your odds of winning are exactly the same as the odds for anyone else who buys a ticket. It doesn't matter whether you've never won before, won a few years ago or won the last 5 days in a row

The odds of a jackpot win ON 2 SPECIFIC DRAWINGS (consecutive or otherwise) and BY PLAYING ONLY ONE TICKET each time would be one in 170,000 squared. I THINK it comes to (check my math) 28,900,000,000 (28 BILLION, 900 million!!!) to 1. HOWEVER comma there are ways to reduce the odds! Instead of a specific two drawings, make it over several months or years any 2 conecutive (or otherwise) drawings, and instead of one ticket each time, make it 100 (or whatever) tickets each time, especially t
