The odds of 8 triplets in 1548 draws are 1.5%. The odds of less than 9 triplets in that many draws are 2.9%. These are low odds but they are nothing to be suspicious about. Something with the odds of just 2.9% will happen approximately once every 34 trials. So if you have at least 34 different Pick3 lotteries around the world with at least 1500 past draws each, we can already expect this occurrence. I completely agree with your criticism of RNGs when it comes to security concerns and computer

Is there a specific game in general that has the best odds?Reply
Check out all the games and the odds on Texas lottery's website. Cash 5 has odds of app 435000 to 1 on the jackpot. But, that jackpot will be around $15,000 or $16,000. Compared to Powerball or Megamillions, the odds for Cash 5 are great. The payout, not so much. If that's your goal...$15,000 or so, fine. If your goal is to retire immediately (like I want), Cash 5 isn't worth my time. As a side note, you can play $5 straight on Daily 4 and win $25,000. Odds are 10000 to 1.

Pick 3, Prediction Testing Of Possible Patterns - Filters.Reply
Lottery odds are bad enough. Anything we do and they do cannot change the odds. The more that a person knows about the lottery games and their proper prediction, the less that the lottery odds mean to them. There is something as Knowing Too Much , when you get to that point, you don't worry as much about lottery odds, yes, you worry, but not as much. In the proper time you might see that, perhaps.

Ohio scratch offsReply
You have to go with the odds and sometimes the odds don't work in your favor. It's designed that way and it doesn't matter what state you're buying tickets in, it's the same all around. You spent $120.00 and won $50.00 which means you lost $70.00. The overall odds for that game are one in 2.75 so it's pretty much par for the course. I'd say buy more tickets if and when you can afford it but always be mindful of those odds and hey, maybe the next ticket you'll purchase will have one of the

Pick 3/4 Meter Made Math MovesReply
You are now quoting individual clockwise move gaps (aka draw difference) instead of all three at the same time? What is the relevance? Those are completely different. The odds that you will get a gap of 52 for a single clockwise move value (such as 6) is 1 in 242. The odds of a gap of 43 is 1 in 93 and for 48 it is 1 in 157 Again, those are not the odds for seeing one in the entire lottery dataset, that's the odds of ANY consecutive sequence of (for example) 52 not having one

Question Regarding The Odds of The Pennsylvania Millionaire RaffleReply
Couldn't agree more. Yes, it's a raffle, so 4 out of 500,000 tickets are guaranteed to win $1,000,000. So that's 4/500,000 or 0.000002%. And if you reduce 4/500,000 to it's least common denominator of 1/125,000 that's also 0.000002%. So technically, the odds can be stated as 1/125,000. And that's why the PA Lottery can advertise odds of 1/125,000. But as can be seen in JADE's posts above, the odds are really 1 : 499,999, 1 : 499,998 etc. But if they advertised the odds in that particular f

Florida Lottery Holiday Millionaire RaffleReply
Odds of winning Fantasy 5 are 1:376,992. The highest payouts I've seen hover around $250,000 (usually on Saturday nights.) Many times the jackpot is divided among two or more winners. Odds of winning $1,000,000 in the raffle are 1:107,143, that's if tickets sell out. You won't find a scratch-off or draw game with odds this good for winning $1,000,000. They can offer these odds because of the hefty ticket price. To me, it's worth it. I wonder, if tickets don't sell out, is the Lottery obligate

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Also, if you do a little math on the Instant Liability Report (comparing its state with the original odds) for $200M Spectacular, you can see that there should be approximately 1.2 million tickets left in circulation. If the two top prizes are still out there (which is to say that one or both haven't been thrown in the trash, something I find unlikely given the design of this ticket) the odds are approaching three times better than the original odds on a top prize (now 1 in ~600k). The $20k and
