Has anyone here ever won the lottery big!Reply
hello fantasy5 and pickfourmaster. since ladygirl is not around. lets see if we can capture the fantasy5 game.If you can record ,say the last 6 to 10 games we can create a mini flowchart to see how the numbers come in and how often,then if, for instance, the numbers 2-4-6-8-10 have come in it is a safe bet that they will not come in that order tonight. So you will drop them from your total of 36 numbers in that game and now you will have to pick 5 out of a bank of 31 numbers that are left.now

Has anyone here ever won the lottery big!Reply
hi ladygirl.... the wheel takes on many forms but the one I like is when I use a 12 number wheel system. I have tried 10,12 15 and 18 number wheel systems. But when you use a 12 number system the combination of multiples is higher and also helps in putting more numbers(winning numbers)on the payline. what I do is I write....1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 on a piece of paper and draw a line OVER the numbers marked 1 thru 12 and call that the system/wheel numbers. On the top of that i will put i

PB vs MMReply
Repat,People have been making that argument in many different ways, but it's not true. When Texas first joined MM, there was a very vocal group of members that insisted that the number pool had to be increased in order to get any decent-sized jackpot. Their reasoning was that there were just too many people playing, and the jackpot would not roll over enough.Texas started selling Mega Millions tickets on Dec. 3, 2003.The results?In the first jackpot run, the Mega Millions jackpot was not hit u

Question about jackpot amountReply
Quote: Originally posted by hypersoniq on February 22, 2004 goose...1. advertised jackpot amount.

If you live in a Powerball state, you have most likely heard Ray Charles singing It's America's game, the one and only Powerball ...4. *THEORY ONLY*

Tennessee to Join Powerball LotteryReply
Quote: Originally posted by hypersoniq on February 17, 2004 yes, the 5/53 + 1/42 setup is just fine, already hard enough...I'm happy with the 10M minimum that I'm not winning... I would much rather see a bump in the lower tier prizes (where I hang out ;-) )Welcome Tennessee to the madness!Same here, hyper. Hate to say this, but right after when We (Pa.) joined, and maybe S. Car. and USVI, is when more balls went into the hopper. Good idea, up the smaller prizes. There maybe too many people

Expected ReturnReply
Thanks for the wonderful link lottobuddy. I've downloaded the paper. Eqn(4) is exactly the equation I use in calculating expectation values, with equ'n 3 being the form I posted on the other thread. However, my results conflict with the statement that there has never been a MB or PB drawing that gave a fair bet. I calculate that the expectation value for this drawing (217 million) is actually a fair bet with an expectation value of 1.02. I have seen at least two or three other such

No hits in 15 days..from sect. B Midday
If you can cut the 220 chart into 4 sections.....A B C and D starting from left to right with A for the 1st. quarter.....which includes 000 down to 226 and all the way over to 239 and back up to 004 ......then thats all the numbers in the A section. Now you can do the next three. The reason I'm posting this is for a kinda intro into using this chart in other ways. Today I need to point out an important point. There has been no numbers hit in the B section of the chart in 16 days. Thats a real

Expected ReturnReply
I used the formula O * [1 - P] where O = odds of winning the jackpot and P = the total payout percentage minus the payout percentage for the jackpot (if it was given on johnph77's web site quoted above).As prob987 correctly pointed out in his post, I went under the presumption that there would be a single winner. I also failed to mention that the amounts listed were also based on the size of the annuitized jackpot before taxes. Taking into consideration multiple winners, the cash option and taxe

I'm Sick Of Losing The Pick 3 Game/Why?
I play the Pick 3 (10 or 20 bucks a day) and I only win boxed about once a month. So I'm losing way more than I'm winning! Why is this happening? There must be something wrong. I know I could win WAY more often if those rotten Doubles wouldn't keep popping up! Everytime I think a double is gonna pop up....sure enough, singles come up! Then when I play singles, a double comes up! I just can't win! It's like the lottery knows what numbers I played and screws it up for me just to make s
