Statistics around the balance of even/odd and small/big numbersReply
KY Floyd Thanks for the reply, I am getting use to everyone thinking that I don't understand what I say. I could of earned a MD in statistics had I only paid attention. Satistics are very useful for many things, I just haven't found any that will help me pick winning numbers. My views on random are also very different then most which also leads me to the conculsions that I draw concerning the lottery. If I use different rules for random then I must rethink the odds also. If the od

Statistics around the balance of even/odd and small/big numbersReply
dr san I know the odds for each digit hitting in any one drawing and most of the remarks made by the staticians are a insult. There continued repetitious comparisons to probability shows a complete lack of any attemp to understand what I have said. I say that I am able to predict the digits with a greater then expected average when I play. I receive in return is the same old song and dance which is getting really old. Picking from a list of 10 is much easier then picking from a li

Turn a Lottery Post loser into a Powerball Winner
Alright, this may seem off the wall but I've got a thought on how to turn at least one Lottery Post member into a Powerball winner. If you're like me, the one thing you can guarantee each powerball drawing is that you're going to lose - the odds are 1 in 195 million against a win. So why not turn that skill of picking crappy numbers to an advantage. So here's my thought - Lottery Post has 105,138 members. If everyone were to pick 10 combinations that they felt would lose that would give yo

Math Versus Good Luck/Bad Luck or Dumb Luck
So anybody know the odds of picking 6 numbers out of the 10 possible for a Pick 3 then wheeling those 6 numbers in 20 different plays not getting a single one right because even though you picked 6 out of 10 numbers to play you didn't get even one number correct because all 3 #s drawn were from the 4 remaining numbers you didn't pick! What are the odds or math of that happening! To be honest sometimes I think I would have better luck picking 6 numbers, then just throughing

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Our GA Lottery Black ticket is better than yours in Florida, but then again ours is a $10 ticket instead of $5. The games with the same dollar amount seem to as a whole blow away GA games with much better odds down there. Looking at those odds makes me wish that I lived in Florida! I sure will play when I go there from now on. I wish I hadn't quit my sorry ass job hauling cars for my last boss. My runs took me all over North and Central Florida. I would make a loop starting in down I-95 to Ja
