I too have had 'trouble' with what's being argued so passionately in this thread. When I lived in the Northeast, although I lived in New York State, I lived in close proximity to Pennsylvania. Every Fall The PA Lottery (for what I'm guessing is the last 20 years or more) holds their Millionaire Raffle. According to the raffles official rules, a maximum of 500,000 tickets can be sold.

How to avoid conflict in filter configuration?Reply
I'm not knocking using past drawing statistics but with 575 K possible outcomes less than 10,000 results, it's probably not very accurate. 66% of the outcomes have 2 or 3 even numbers and so does 2 or 3 low numbers . Both are used as usually used as standard filters. Saturday's Ohio Rolling Cash 5 results were 09-22-23-26-30. How many different filters are needed to end up with only those five numbers? Now if you're using 2 or 3 low numbers as a filter, it's not a conflict, the filter

So if you find a winning formula, it's considered fraud?Reply
Pick one digit to repeat. If it does and the next draw is a single, guaranteed win. Except when one or both of the other two digits repeat with your one key digit and you lose $21. And the last time I looked there are 120 ways to make a straight by keying your one repeat digit with the remaining seven digits in 6-way combos. You have a 1 in 3 chance of a guaranteed win. Really? There are 21 ways to win and 99 ways to miss and a 16.6% probability of getting a straight win guarantee

Where are they putting the additional unexpected $2M in sales? They're putting it in the same places as every other $5 in sales. They skim half off the top and the rest goes into the prize pools. The ads are only for estimated jackpots, and higher sales increase it. They're not going to change the advertised amount unless sales are substantially higher than expected, and if you got those numbers from the site that shall not be named (which you must have, because the Texas worksheet doesn't
