WV Lottery officials oppose jackpot anonymity billReply
Pfft. Expectation of transparency, my great Aunt Petunia; this is nothing more than a sleazy attempt by the WV lottery officials to line their pockets. As they said in the article, publicity drives sales. The lottery executives compensation is partly driven by increasing sales; they want people being photographed standing at the press conference, receiving that huge oversized check; they make more money that way. What they don't say in the article is the lottery executives know from experien

5/5 where are you?Reply
This looks very interesting and it is probably worth using after a nice win ... (I had a little trouble making out everything though because the screenshot was a little fuzzy) that way you won't feel so pinched if it doesn't perform. Note that I only mentioned the last 5 games in my previous comment because the winning draw WAS all last 5 games numbers. So it can and does happen ... It may not be so easy to see in an excel file that doesn't show the skips clearly. Your wheel contained 4 of th

California Lottery officials seized surveillance footage from store that sold Powerball ticketReply
with you sirbrad about reminding the winners. But I would wait for at least three months before airing the footage. Of course, the winner can have a call made anonymously to the lottery office and stop all the speculation, rumours, etc. The winner needs only to provide the 18 digit number above the bar code on the front side of the ticket. I hope that the winner does not live in Chino Hills,CA. Then his/her family members, friends, would have no suspicion that he/she is the winner. His/her

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
. I've been thinking of annuity vs. cash payment. Annuity: more efficient spending of your doggone money Cash option: Will pretty much prevent the rare/unlikely event of an IRS computer getting a glitch, and erroneously printing some notice for you to report your local irs office.

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
Can someone clear something up about taxes? If you take the lump sum, they take out 25% then give you the check no? What about the 39.6%? Do you owe that next year? If you take the annuity, if the fed interest skyrockets, do they up your checks to make up for the difference? Also, in the unlikely event the lottery (pb for example) goes bankrupt in 5 years, and you won this year and opted for the annuity, what happens to your future checks? Lastly, if more than one winner wins and one op

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
The thing to do, as I understand it, is to move to the no-lotto-tax state, where you purchased. Remember after you get and apartment (or whatever), to get your license, BANK ACCOUNT, credit cards need to be moved over. You will not need to stay where you are, you will want to move, to lighten the tax burden as much as possible . I am in the same situation. I first learned of the no tax state, where buy from, not too long ago. But, when I did the math, and saw what my state was gettin

$450 MILLION: Powerball sales bonanza sparks early jackpot increaseReply
Well, Business Insider has declared that it's not worth buying a ticket. I wonder if I can take my ticket back for a refund before the drawing? Consider the expected value When trying to evaluate the outcome of a risky, probabilistic event like the lottery, one of the first things to look at is expected value. The expected value of a randomly decided process is found by taking all of the possible outcomes of the process, multiplying each outcome by its probability, and adding all of these

What do you use for statistical analysis?Reply
Using Lottery Post's Deflate 3 and filtering for any straight combination containing 0,4,5,9 shows that there are 784 combinations or 78.4% chance of event happening on any particular draw. I agree that in the in the short term there will be variance but over a statistically significant number of draws on a non-bias lottery machine it will approach the number stated. 784 Combinations Ham n Cheese!
