Running an office Powerball pool is discouragingReply
The odds of winning in any of several ways with multiple tickets in a single drawing can't be calculated this way. If it could, then a 1/9 chance of winning with 1 ticket would mean all you had to do to guarantee a win would be buy 9 tickets; and that's not true. In the Ohio Rolling Cash5, there are 510136 different losing combinations in any drawing; so, in order to guarantee a win, you'd have to purchase 510137 tickets, each with a unique combination. I'm sure there is an easier way to make

I honestly don't think itrequiresunderstanding the math. I reallythink that for the most part theproblem is that people usefaulty math to convince themselves that theintuitive (a

Member of "Watertown 34" wins lottery againNews Story
Athena Rush of Watertown, South Dakota, claimed the $200,000 Powerball prize she won in the drawing of November 10th. Rush matched the five white balls, but not the red Powerball to win the game's second prize. Rush missed the jackpot by one number, but said the excitement isn't any different than winning the jackpot. She would know. Rush was a member of The Watertown 34, the group of Minnesota Rubber workers that won a $50.9 million Powerball prize nearly five years ago. My feet still

Lets talk about pick three systems for a minute here folks. OK, as far as pick 3 systems go the easiest way to get a win in any lottery game is to shoot for a 6-way box with 3 unique numbers, because it offers the best odds of winning a a small cash prize. We all know that it feels good to win, and winning is fun, but there is a difference between winning and making a net profit over the long run. Now if you start playing $25-30 a week on pick three using 3 unique numbers you are going to win no
