Sequential numbers drawn in South Africa Lottery stirs up suspicions of fraudNews Story
20 players share the jackpot after consecutive numbers are drawn By Kate Northrop An unusually perfect series of sequential numbers that came up in South Africa's most recent PowerBall drawing has led to accusations of fraud, while others jumped in to defend the integrity of a game based on pure luck and chance. The winning numbers drawn on Tuesday, Dec. 1 were all consecutive numbers, including the PowerBall itself 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and PowerBall 10. 20 people purchased a ticket with t

Math behind a card trickReply
it's not too much trouble, I like these sorts of probability problems. I did 10 million simulations of a shuffled deck and got a success rate of 74.76% for your trick with wrap around, which makes sense in light of the probabilities of the jack-neighborhood sizes -- a 16-card jack-neighborhood size occurs in only about 31% of shuffles, while the average size is about 13.7 cards. I ran 5 million simulations to approximate the probabilities of getting all the different neighborhood sizes from a mi

Bluskov or Howard's wheels?Reply
Personally, I've found that GH's wheels get pretty much laughed at by the lotteries that I've used them on... But not Bluskov's wheels..!! I didn't really start seeing the phenomenon which I've come to term the ole 1 digit away disease, until I started using Bluskov's wheels.. the lotteries don't like them...simply because they work so well... So the only thing they can do IS cheat.. What they're failing to realize, is that it becomes evidence, when certain tickets are post game examined,

Lottery winner can seek bigger prize at trial, judge rulesReply
The Judge seems to be inclined to grant him his wish Based on what I've seen the judge was just ruling on matters of law, and any opinion he has about the actual merits are irrelevant. Well tables got turned and those Attorneys got sued for defamation. And how did it turn out? Even if Dawson had said that the Iowa lottery is a bunch of thieving lowlifes that are deliberately ripping off the players I doubt he'd win. We know that at least one of the games was rigged and the lottery h

FL Lottery rigged (from ex-lotto official?)Reply
Rcbbuckeye and Todd, I am not newbie on Lottery Post in the past I ve had an account here with numerous posts I just can t retrieve it. So what? What the number of posts has to do with the subject of this post? How the fact that I don t have many posts (yet) makes this information impossible to be true? How many people you helped to win BIG with your thousands of posts? I mean, really BIG and not just some breadcrumbs from somebody s banquet table, what they can do by themselves? Raven

Lottery jackpot rigger's Iowa convictions dismissedReply
In a news article titled Five times computer programmer Eddie Tipton rigged lottery draws - and won millions Accused of installing software on Random Number Generators that allowed him to predict winning combinations for drawings that occurred on three dates every non-leap year Nov. 23, Dec. 29 and May 27 Do you think he wasn t greedy enough to buy a ticket on all the winning days. Believe me that is all he got caught on. What makes me sick is The brothers will repay $3 mill

Do you believe every combination has the same probability?Reply
It's templates of recent drawings like this notice the similarity in pairs or full repeat combos: 9/4- 9/12 1438- 025679 5034-0126789 4458-0123679 5207- 134689 3188- 0245679 9373- 0124568 3328- 0145679 4032- 156789 6290- 134578 9865- 012347 8813- 0245679 2566- 0134789 4105- 236789 2197- 034568 7099- 1234568 5562-0134789 3418- 025679 Very short period of time.

The secret to winning lottery with Scratch off'sReply
This is not true. While scratch may seem random they are not random at all. Of course you can blow me off and just say whatever, but after spending around 100k last year on lottery tickets and making 40k i can tell you they are not entirely random. Scratchoffs are printed by an algorithm developed with a base set of logic. There are a couple of the rules that I know and rules for each game are different based off the percentage payout of a game. To help draw you a picture of why they are not ran

No $50K bonus for Washington retailer who sold winning lottery ticketReply
This doesn't surprise me and causes me upset with all these changes that the states lay claim to nowadays. So the legislature decides to get rid of bonuses in Washington and just keep taking from the lottery playing public and people like Singh who owns the store that won the ticket, even when they are clearly wrong for doing so. No wonder people are angrier with government. I had played the lottery in the past when it seemed less contrived and rigged. I hope lottery players are angr
