UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Actually, now that the multiplier will be a part of every lottery ticket purchase, it is mathematically possible for California to do it. To do so, they would allocate a certain percentage of sales to each prize level, just like they do today. But to determine what each winning ticket would be worth, they would divide the prize pool by the total number of multiplied prizes available instead of the total number of winning tickets. So imagine there were only two winners of a particular pri

Joining a lottery club?Reply
Not worth joining a pool. Its $61 million IF the winner opts for the annuity. Otherwise it is $36.9 million, before taxes. Take a third right off the top for taxes. That leaves a bit over $24.6 million to split between the pool. So 10 pool players would net about $2.46 million each with more taxes due at the end of the year. Big difference between expecting $61 million, or $36.9 million and receiving 2.4 million. But that's the reality. G

Chi-Squared Goodness of Fit Test for LotteriesReply
IMHO, in general government-run lotteries (in the western world at least) are not going to be exploitable in terms of statistical frequency attack. A lot of time, energy and money(!) is obviously put into trying. Eventually, if you look at enough lotteries, you'll find improbable outcomes and what appears to be non-randomness . Highly likely, that doesn't mean there is a flaw. Just if you sample enough, you get unusual patterns. (It's inevitable.) The people who have successfully exploited lotte

Once You Go Platinum, You Never Go Back!Reply
Hey win 500 quick. You want to be in my pool? Since you win 500 so quick, I was wondering if you would want to be in my POOL. You can maybe leverage you genius towards more money. I understand why you would not want to be in my pool. I am kind of a retard, and drunk half the time, and my math skills are retarded too. I am kind of annoyed of Nazi York, been thinking of going south... Well I hope when I go to Florida, you will let me pitch a tent in your back yard for a w

"SuperBowl Pool" of Florida scrtach-offs
Hi... I'm new to Florida and new to this thread. Where I lived in the past, I did something that I'm considering doing here in Florida. I bought an entire book of scratch-offs (unopened, still sealed in the cellophane wrapper) and then I ran what I'd call a SuperBowl Pool by selling 100 squares in a 10 X 10 grid. As best I can recall, I sold each square for $5. (I did this so long ago that I forgot how I did it) Selling each square for $5 got me a total of $500, which paid me back for the bo

Number of Combo's with Same Last Digit for 5/36 MatrixReply
That's the thing... most players are casual players, they either don't care about playing smartly, or aren't even aware that some people are playing smartly. You can see it with Quick Picks. Many times people have told me I only buy QP's because QP's win the most jackpots. That's true I tell them. It's a function of the fact that 75% of all lottery tickets sold are QP's. The pool of QP's is three times larger than the pool of player picks. Which pool do you think has the best chance of

Lottery flub pays off: Michigan co-workers win $1MReply
This is why lottery pools are such a terrible idea. When someone wins, the greed factor explodes Yeah, you can see very clearly how that happened here by the way the people who contributed more shared the prize equally with those who contributed less. To avoid this mix up if you are the designated lottery ticket purchaser in a pool,buy all the pools tickets at one location. If people are smart enough to have a written agreement it should be a no brainer to have a designated place to

Mega Millions pretestsReply
I'm not sure that there even is a specific liability cap. They may have a rough idea, but what they can pay with an acceptable loss will depend on sales for the affected drawing, and what they have in reserve accounts, and probably several things I can't think of. Suppose they actually draw 1,2,3,4,5, +7? There will be thousands of 5+0 winners, which would require a payout of billions at the usual 1 million prize value. In that case there's absolutely no question that the prize will be paid o
