Your lottery pool won,but you didn't playReply
DoubleDown is right to some extent in what they say! But if the pool was done right and I mean each and every time they took collections for that one drawing, then the person who missed that one drawing will be SOL! They are to sign next to their name when paying for that one drawing. Now when reinvesting the winnings to buy more tickets, everyone is to also sign an agreement to the fact that is what they wished to do with anything under a specified amount (like 25.00), otherwise it's to be spli

$340 million lottery ticket bought in Oregon gold rush townReply
Ah, but you still don't know which set of balls will be used the night of the drawing, unless you somehow had insider info. Even the officials don't know until an hour before the drawing. Even then, in the time before the drawing they weigh and then test draw that ball set ahead of time for randomness, to prove there's no discernable pattern. If there is, they change ball sets for the drawing and investigate the discarded set.This all came about because years ago someone in the Pennsylvania Lo

Math odds..no digit return. How often ?Reply
There are 1000 possible combinations of 3's. If you remove 3 numbers then there 343 possible combinations of 3's, so there would be 343/1000 odds that a combination coming up today would not have one of the numbers in the previous drawing if the previous drawing had 3 different numbers.However if the last number was a double then there would 512 combinations of 3's that wouldn't contain those two numbers, so there would 512/1000 odds that a combination coming up today would not have one of the t

Interesting bantering going on here. Which one of the following best represents the fundamental question?1) Which method (mechanical or computerize) of drawing numbers for lottery games consistently delivers adequately random results?2) Which method of drawing numbers for lottery games delivers the most random results when there is not a problem with the drawing? 3) Which method of drawing numbers for lottery games delivers adequately random results and is the least likely to have a disruption

Thanks for the interesting link. The first thing I found interesting was how profitable the Megaplier is, and it really makes me wonder why all states don't offer it.With regard to the computerized drawings discussion, I found that the Textas Lottery Commission (TLC) Board appears to be hypnotized by computerized lottery drawing people/companies.The testimony of the A M professor was amazing in that he must have spoke for an hour, and said what could be boiled down into one minute. Basically,
