Interesting happening within our lottery-pool at work... no not reallyReply
How in the heck do you only win back $7 on $3,000 worth of tickets?! That is 1500 tickets!!! If this pool was smart they would have evenly split the tickets between each possible powerball. This means they should have bought 55 tickets on powerball number 1, 55 tickets on powerball number 2, all the way up to 26. This would guarantee that they would have hit the powerball on 55 tickets which pays out $4.00 = $220.00 minimum return. Does not sound like a pool I would want to be involved with!

$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot approaches billion-dollar rangeReply
You did not read the article. You really should, because you are incorrect. That article you linked even contains information that contradicts what you said: As measured by the total prize payout, the Spanish Christmas Lottery is considered the biggest lottery worldwide. Total prize payout is a prize pool, not a jackpot. Even the top prize in El Gordo is a prize pool split by hundreds of people, not a jackpot. And although El Gordo is commonly referred to as a lottery , it is actually

Do you think Powerball will go to a billion dollars?Reply
well conservative to say 700M tickets With the old matrix about 64 cents from each ticket went to the jackpot prize pool. That's close enough to the cash/annuity ratio that figuring each dollar of advertised annuity required selling one ticket was a really simple way of being fairly close to the real number. I knew they changed that figure a bit with the new matrix, but I just double checked and it's a bigger change than I thought. Each ticket now contributes about 68 cents towards the jack

What do you use for statistical analysis?Reply
I don't use percentages to bet. Show this as proof instead of just stating that 0,4,5,9 hits in 78 % of draws I don't buy it. You use 78 % of the pool of 1000 numbers but due to repeats, trends etc these percentages don't hold true. What is available in the 1000 possibilities and what hits over a span of time are two different things. Go to lotsoft program and analye any state and you will find combinations that have a 0,4,5,9 digit and they are out several draws ,so this is proof these digits t

$50 million Lotto Max winners finally revealed after 2-year fight to remain anonymousReply
Welcome to LP. I see this is your Ist post and quite an emotional one for you. Since you like RULES so much, how come you did not bother with the nuances and complexities of participating in a pool. I'll just make it very simple for you. If you want to join a pool, get the copies of the tickets, the names of the participants and the amount they contributed and the store where the ticket was purchased prior to the draw. There is a whole lot more to what else you can do. Lotteries also move the go

RIP Gail HowardReply
This is the downside of picking numbers for a lottery pool. You get people mad at you if you don't win and then you get people mad at you 'cause you didn't win enough! Pair that with the problems of collecting the money every week and its a job I wouldn't take on for anything, in spite of the advantages of being able to wheel a larger pool of numbers and play more tickets. Good to hear you got a big win with Gail's software.

Losing friendship over not joining a lottery pool. .thoughts anyone?Reply
I think that's wrong. I once asked a new employee if he wanted to join the pool I'm running and he said he wasn't interested, and that was the end of it. I did tell him if he changes his mind just let me know, and he said ok. It's a matter of personal choice as far as I'm concerned and if someone doesn't want to be in, that's up to them. I have been running a pool for around 10 years and I only charge $4/payday(every two weeks) and I buy a mix of MegaMillions, Powerball, and Lotto tickets

Hi RL and guys, I could text it for you because there is a new lottery in Australia called Set for Life - 8 numbers from a pool of 37 having 2BB from their same pool. I gather it looks like a keno game and it is a daily one. It is great you are always putting a lot of effort for the good you do :-) Gambler667

NY man claims friend broke deal to split lottery prize, files lawsuitReply
Lottery pool rules apply here. If you play with one or more other players then get it in writing. You are so right MaximumMillions these cases clog up our courts. Pool players say to themselves, We trust each other and this money will not change us.
