Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Hi Mr/Ms Sowinski! Thanks very much for your very kind compliments. Yup, it's true. You'll not only see very similar characteristics in T5 that also appear in FF5, but you'll also see those very same similar game characteristics in every PICK5 game in all other states Pick5 games. For instance, Tique54 posts in the T5 thread about the 99 duplicate sets of five numbers that have been drawn twice since 1991 when T5 began. Same thing has happened in FF5, but not as many times. Right now it's ha

Help Me Understand This 😭Reply
* Anytime there are as many tries as there are possible outcomes than chance of a hit are 63.21%. Chance of getting a 1 when rolling a die 6 times: 63.21%. Chance of drawing the ace of spades when choosing 1 card from a freshly shuffled deck 52 times: 63.21%. Chance of winning P3 if you play it 1000 individual times: 63.21% . Interesting! This is an different perspective on the odds. Most texts talk about the number of draws it takes to have a 50/50 chance of hitting. Thanks for this differ

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Excellent observation. The probability of winning the jackpot with one ticket is equal to the probability of matching all five white balls times the probability of matching the Powerball. There are 26 Powerballs, so the probability of matching the Powerball is 1/26. Let X be equal to the probability of matching all five white balls. Thus, the probability of winning the jackpot is X*1/26. The probability of winning a million dollars (5+0) is the probability of matching all five white

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
That's one way to play, keep buying tickets until you have a sufficiently large chance of winning. This is what professionals do when a jackpot is really big, to the point that the expected value of a ticket is greater than its face value. But under normal circumstances, it wouldn't make any sense to buy up all the combinations when there are millions of them. You'll spend more on tickets than the jackpot. Take Pick 3 for example. It's not difficult for one person to buy 1,000 ticket

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
Although it's theoretically possible for each ticket to have been a QP, that's so highly unlikely that it's just plain crazy to think that's what actually happened. The retailer probably sold only a few thousand PB tickets for that drawing. To make it simple let's call it 11,688 tickets, or 1 for every 1000 5+0 combinations. That makes the odds of one ticket winning a 5+0 prize 1 in 1000. The odds of 3 winning tickets is then 1 in 1 billion. Based on NY's total sales and the number of retai

Banana Peel SystemReply
For the visual odds representations above I created them using manually, having to do math and then measure out pixel/square size. Then I thought why not write a Javascript tool that does this for me. so here's the tool (hopefully Todd is okay with this tool because it doesn't market anything with nothing to sell). tindoductran.github.io/visual-odds.html So now if I want to share another visual odds on here I can just enter odds on that tool and boom, I can right click the canva

California Lottery launches its first $40 scratch-off to commemorate 40 yearsReply
As a longtime New Jersey Lottery player, I totally agree with you that our state is lacking. I almost never play scratch-offs here, preferring to play in the nearby states of New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The odds are so much better as is the probability and the prizes. For example, New Jersey Lottery's new $1 million Ultimate Spectacular has odds of 1 in 4. But get this, they printed more than 9.3 million tickets and of that about $3 million is for prizes $500 and under with the

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
According to JADELottery, the odds of the DC 5 drawing producing a singles combination without any repeat digits for 41 consecutive drawings is 1 in 242,413. It's not impossible, but improbable. By the time the game reaches its 50th consecutive drawing without a repeat digit, those odds become 1 in 3.685 million. that math is not correct. the probability of singles occurring in any one pick 5 drawing is 0.3024. the probability of it happening n times in a row is 0.3024^n. that means the pro
