22 Ohio co-workers share $99M Mega Millions jackpotNews Story
By Todd Northrop A lucky group of 22 co-workers were at the Ohio Lottery's Youngstown office Monday to claim their share of last week's $99 million Mega Millions jackpot. The Ohio lottery said most of the 22 work for KraftMaid in Jefferson, Ashtabula County, midway between Cleveland and Youngstown. The majority of the winners work together in the logistics and customer service departments at the cabinet making company. The group has been playing the lottery for several years. Each winne

Lucky lottery lady outed as Stanford University statistics PhDReply
This is an old story, bandied about here before. It is nothing but harebrained, unproven, speculation, designed to get tongues wagging. So, the odds of her winning these 4 lottery games is 1 in 18 septillion? I'm afraid not. Some idiot multipled together the probabilities of winning each of the 4 to come up with that number. Just as the probability of flipping a coin heads is 50%, no matter how many times it previously came up heads, so is the probability of winning a subsequent lottery pr

I did a digital download of this mag, just for this article. Just a brief summary. The reporter talked to a statistics PhD who said the odds of one person hitting the 3 scratchers is much steeper than 18 septillion. The reporter spoke to a state official from another lottery who said I am certain that the Texas Lottery is doing a serious investigation, and they are not going to let anyone know about it. An IRS investigation is the what the locals say promted the store closing. The scrat

Massachusetts Lottery closes loophole after big winsReply
Ridge I think Todd nailed it when we said it's a betting strategy. The game is designed to roll down and pay out more for lower prizes and that is exactly what it does. It is working just as it is designed as far as I can see and no loop hole exist at all. I would love to see these sort of games increase instead of going down the tubes so to speak. I think you are right that some people don't want others to succeed. What bothers me the most is that dissinformation will win out in

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
JKING Thanks for your reply, the type of filter is not the big issue, the real issue is can it be predicted. No matter how well a filter reduces if it does not have predictable qualities then one should move on to another. I find that having several more then are nessary and then using them as replacements on certain days is helpful. Even though we may be using different types of filtering the idea is still basically the same and I am glad to hear someone else has found some

North Carolina family wins lottery 3 timesNews Story
Most people only dream of winning the lottery, but a North Carolina mother and daughter not only beat the odds they did it three times. Kimberly McCauley of Charlotte, N.C., won $100,000 in North Carolina's new scratcher game called 10X the Money, last week. McCauley said she never imagined she'd win anything. After all, her mother Amy McCauley is a two-time lottery winner. I figured my mom was hogging all the luck. This is so overwhelming, but it's a good kind of overwhelming, Kimberl

A Wheel Question...Reply
Stack47, The issue here is not the journalistic credentials of mathematicians and gaming consultants, it's whether their experience allows them to assert mathematical principals that refute your claims regarding the chances of winning lotteries. Above you said, With Bluejay it's only necessary to read his lopsided rules to know why the high priced 'get rich quick' systems ignore him and since even the simple playing strategies are for SHORT TERM PLAY, only a fool would give his 200,000 ro
