Pick 3 FiltersReply
Mr BlackAppleAs CD can tell us and he has, the expected probabilities for the filters do very closely match the past winning numbers or combos, in time all patterns show-up or come out about the expected ammount of times, also all or most digits in time sooner or later tend to equalize themselves or come out an almost equal number of times or at least their count is more equal than it is on a short term.You are talking about predicting patterns to come, not about filtering patterns out of a pool

What are the odds?Reply
JAG331 -Math is right, conclusions are in error.In a 52 ball pool there are 26 odd numbers and 26 even numbers. Odds of drawing an odd-numbered ball are 1::2.00.There are 51 balls left, 25 odd, 26 even. Odds of drawing an odd-numbered ball are 25::51, or 1::2.04. Cumulative odds, those of drawing two odd-numbered balls from 52, are 1::4.08.There are 50 balls left, 24 odd, 26 even. Odds of drawing an odd-numbered ball are 24::50, or 1::2.08.

After Seeing "Jackpot!"Reply
if i were to win a mega millions or powerball jackpot, i would split it with my cousin. his mother (my aunt) has only days left to live, and he could really use the money. after that, i would buy a house (not a modest one, but one that would be nice to live in. i'd send my kids (when i have, or adopt, them) to private school. i would want them to grow up thinking independently. i'd buy a mini-van and take it to west coast customs in LA to get it pimped out . i'd purchase top of the line video p

Rainbow,You certainly do not make it very clear. That is why I am suspicious. For example, you wrote that $110 was put in the pool and 56 tickets were bought. It cost $112 to buy 56 Lotto 649 tickets. Where did the extra $2 come from?You also wrote that the pool organizer is a lottery retailer and is making money on the 3% redemption. I checked with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and they confirmed that retailers get 3% of redemptions. But retailers are limited on the size of prize t

Changes in New Kidcon
Some of you may remember my made-up states lottery. Well, some changes have been made. Check them out:Powerball PlusIn larger Canadian provinces, they have their own in-province versions of the multi-province Lotto 6/49. They are usually of lower cost, lower payouts, and are paid on the same play slip as Lotto 6/49. Well, NK is now doing this with Powerball. It's played on the same play slip, and is played the same way as Powerball. The only difference is it only costs a quarter to play (that's

What's your story?Reply
Well to continue, I decided to try what I call a F-R, this just means I feel the Odd/Even will flip and one number will repeat. I then go to my 25 Odd number pool and eliminate all combinations without a repeating digit and depending on my gut feeling, I may keep the combinations with two repeating digits. This usually leaves me with 7 to maybe 15 picks. Then I eliminate the combos in sums which have recent hits, if I necessary. Usually I will bet ten combinations either Boxed or Straight/Box. U

Powerball as you have never seen itReply
Mike,What those guys are doing is collecting $4.30 to buy a $1.00 ticket which they keep and control. A player would have to be dumber than dumb to use their service to play a local game where they could buy their own ticket for $1. Twelve players could pool their money and do the same thing or the 50 players in their pool could buy their own tickets with that amount of money and improve their odds by 330%. People who run a racket don't need permission, if they sought permission from the OLC t

CALIFORNIA JOINS MEGA MILLIONSReply
This is getting weird. There is reality and there is make-believe. In the case of Texas, they joined Mega Millions, and suddenly jackpots started increasing their rollover size by 50% or so, and the jackpots started going over $100 million with greater frequency than ever.Dvdiva, I have no idea where you're coming up with this stuff. You're an awesome member here, and I always love your input, but this one has me shaking my head. Everyone should be saying a big thank you to Texas (and now Ca

And I agree with you about the lousy percentage that NY allocates to its prize pool.Most of the time, getting these huge lottery organizations to do anything positive for the players is a monumental challenge, mainly because it requires that legislation be passed. In the case of the NY prize pool, I believe that percentage was allocated through legislation, and not just a number that the lottery came up wit
