Those of you who keep track of your scratch off spending, ...Reply
Several things are different about CA Scratchers versus some of the more mature lotteries on the eastern half of the US: 1. Higher ticket prices, with big $10 and $20 scratch tickets. We don't have those, ours topping out at $5 tickets. Those higher prices can provide more revenue per customer, as like with potato chips, its very hard to have just one. Say you buy four $5 tickets at a time now, but if there were $20 tickets, you might be tempted to spend more than your usual amount so you

Why Do Mathematicians Consider The Lottery RandomReply
I'd also like to point out that casinos love wagering systems. Because they usually ask players to do something like bet more when they win, or when they lose. And either way they're betting more and the casinos win more. Let's use martingale as an example, on some non-specific even money game, that has a house edge. Even though most players can make some money, there is somebody out there who gets an unlucky run and loses his whole bankroll. Let's say we start at one betting uni

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
In May of last year, Jacal5 started this thread by asking a simple question, What's with NY Sweet Million?? We later learned, according to The NY Lottery itself, that SM has a coverage problem , meaning that not a large enough percentage of the almost 3.9 million 6 number combo's is covered for each drawing that would produce a JP winner on a regular basis. (In other words, The NY Lottery cant sell enough tickets with enough lines on them that would cover a large portion of the total possibl

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
With pareto's law, then we could see patterns, don't try to predict numbers, but yes defaults, the numbers are there or not, understands!!!, perhaps sera must construct a calculator for the 80/20. We will be the first to see this system But will be a day of hard work, analysis, because we have the fact of repetition of numbers as the size of the lottery, jking what intrigues me is the following, example, you make some 200 games in 49/6 will hit 4 numbers (80%) with very often, and also play

What is a Wheeling System? Why play with it?
Successful lottery players know that a Wheeling System is a way of organizing your lotto-type game play to improve your chances of winning multiple-tier prizes. Wheeling Systems put the force of mathematics on your side. It's a way of arranging a group of number selections into multiple combinations (game) that give either full or partial coverage of all possible combinations of those selections. Lotto007 lottery software have the best Wheeling System. Think about how this increases you

POLL - Will You Buy $2 Lottery Tickets?Reply
Ridge I think that the people who don't mind are mostly QP players that just spend a few bucks here and there. For a system player double the price is a little harder to handle. Spending 2 vs 1 is not that bad for a single ticket but going from 25 to 50 is just too much given the odds. I would move on to another game, this price increase is just a way to generate more income for the states involved. Consider how few match 5of5 then it's not hard to see. I guess if the payout i

How math can't make you rich and famous
From +plus magazine online Sometimes maths is no use at all...! How maths can't make you rich and famous There are various ways that mathematics has been claimed to be able to make you rich and famous and I thought that it would be good to dispose of some of these as quickly as possible. One of the questions that I am frequently asked when people find out that I'm a professional mathematician (apart from when will you leave? ) is how can I choose my numbers for the National Lottery

Which method of playing scratch-off tickets do you prefer?Reply
This iz an interesting topic... My review on each: Match Your Numbers to Winning Numbers: Even though I play these a lot, they're really boring when it comes to new games, especially in New York. I feel that most $2, $5, and $10 tickets all have this theme... Match 3 like symbols: Symbols are always catchy, when I see 'em; like 'em a lot! Match 3 like prizes: Kinda boring 'cause you know what you win; it's not like a surprise... Uncover one winning symbol/number: These are fun,

Massachusetts Lottery closes loophole after big winsReply
And some people actually are as stooopid as they sound... err... type. Maybe spend more of your time on the Faux News or Mudge Report or Not-Bright Bart sites. You'd fit in real well there, except their types are usually the ones that oppose lotteries... but also seem to love the casinos. So why do their type always cry out about lotteries being a sin. Take Alabama... has dog racing and other types of gambling, but the right-wingnuts in the state vote down the lottery because it was a sin. Typic
