POLL: Would You Support A Nationwide Raffle?Reply
Oh, I'm all for nationwide lotteries too but I also like the raffles and would like to see a nationwide raffle. I think that would be a cool name too - Nationwide. In fact I even know what they could use for a theme song: Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel, I had a blues man in the back and a beautician at the wheel. We going downtown in the middle of the night We laughing and we jokin' and we feelin' alright. Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Ye

My digit system for pick-5 or pick-6 lotteryReply
RL, All of your detail here is of little value without the secret, proprietary ingredient you allude to. However, I don't blame you for hiding it if your system is really successful. You seem to be saying that yours is a hands on system, requiring a lot of user intervention, perhaps for every play, and therefore, is not amenable to automated backtesting. As a computer analyst/programmer, you surely would know it is possible to write a backtester with enough variable parameters that you cou

Artificial IntelligenceReply
RL, I suspect you didn't take my advice above and study the Gambler's Fallacy at wikipedia. You also need to understand the concepts of Variance, Standard Deviation, and Confidence Intervals. All of your comments above refer to short term results and based solidly in your belief in the Gambler's Fallacy. If you REALLY believe a particular game system in your state is currently biased one way or another, you should contact your state Representatives and call for an investigation! Before you

Top 10 "Reasons" why the Powerball Lottery is a scam...!Reply
crow, Re: your OP, I'll go own the list. 1. Agreed, we go in knowing this. 2. With that many combinations it would be almost impossible not to have some duplicate tickets. If there would be no duplicates, that is if once a set of numbers was taken, that's not a lottery it's a raffle....of sorts. 3. The lotto commissions aran't making any claims about what winners do with the non-jackpot prizes. In fact we've had discussions here on LP about most of that money going right back into th

N.J. lawmakers want full disclosure of lottery prizesReply
If, for example, there are 8,100,000 tickets printed in an initial offering of a new game and the claimer reads there must be 3 first tier winners of $5million big ones and 1000 winners of $1,000 trickling down to lesser prizes to $5 for total potential sales of $40,500,000 that is $15mil first tier to shell out for 3 winners. If a structured settlement is chosen, it is only $7.5mil to pay out and $1mil for 2nd prizes etc. No one is going to let another say $24mil slide in revenue if the 3 first

Tennessee Lottery glitch parade marches onNews Story
Lottery calls first glitch of the new year 'minor' The new year brought another glitch to the Tennessee lottery, this time with a miscounting Web site clock.
