Tenn. Lottery players complaining over switch from numbered ballsReply
i totally agree something is definitely wrong. i used your quick pick generator and asked it just to pick 1 ticket then another and another just to see how many times i might get a double and they were back to back and about every other out of 10 tries i got 5 doubles. here's what might be happening in Tennessee they say they have tested the RNG software program and it is working fine. Without actually knowing what hey have done. They might have asked it to run a group of numbers or they m

$5 Powerball Quick Pick OddityReply
I love your post. I have tried to discuss this point before but no one gets what I was saying about odds. I have made posts not too long ago saying that duplicate numbers like yours are lucky. I based a system of picks on these duplicate. My theory is that if you are buying a handful of lines, you odds of matching the right numbers is greater than say buying one ticket IE 10 > 1. There are 5 white balls in one line (1 of 10). To win using these white balls, you have to match >2 nu

Lottery Not Blaming Slots for Flat Sales Pennsylvania's lottery sales stumbled in the just-ended fiscal year as slot machines came on line finishing flat after a half-decade of huge gains spurred by bigger games, more retailers and glitzier advertising.

28 most common questions about Powerball
From the Powerball website. A couple of them are below, all 28 are listed on the link. I'm putting this in Lottery Discussions and not Jackpot Games because I'm sure at least a few of them apply to all lotteries: CAN I REMAIN ANONYMOUS WHEN I HIT THE JACKPOT? All but three states (DE, KS, ND) have laws that require the lottery to release the name and city of residence to anyone who asks. One state (SC) will keep your name secret if you request it, but if someone files a Fre

Fixed LotteriesReply
I must say that this is the first post that has really gotten under my skin. :) I can straight out tell you and anyone else who believes that state or provincial lottery games are rigged are so wrong. The proof can be summed up in this. Take a stadium with 100,000 people and give them all a ticket from a range of 00000 to 99999. Now, roll out five lottery machines and draw a number from 0-9 from each. Only one person will win. Nobody else will. That's the lottery in a nutshell.

Supercomputers & the lotto....Part2..Reply
There is no question in my mind whatsoever that if I could spend $360 per drawing, I would snag a pick-5 within 4-6 months, but I only allow myself $10 and do what I think is right. 'The weakest link as always will be the human programming the machine. ' And that is the STRONGEST link in the current system - the lack of an identifiable human link (that we know of). One think I wish I knew is how many tickets are sold of the SAME numbers ? And what total number combos
