Observations Virginia Cash5: YOu Could make $600,000 a year...
take the last number of a combination is usually from: 25-35 [10 numbers] let: 25 and 26 = 1 27 and 28 = 2 29 and 30 = 3 31 and 32 = 4 33 and 34 = 5 forget 35... you guess which one it will be, which one it will play: then you count 19-22 numbers backwards and it should be/give you the first number of the winning combination....So now you have the first number and the last number [20 spread]...Just got to guess the 3 numbers in the middle...Play 50 cents and you win: $50,000

Vt. Lottery computer glitch creates extra winnersReply
Just to keep the facts straight here is what the article said: Linda Hebert says she didn't think twice when she purchased two nearly identical computer-generated Fast Play tickets...

Fooled by RandomnessReply
8/28/10: All your data is based on making the same bet in every drawing and you're trying to show that making those types of bets can't win in the long run. But it's old news because one only has to look at the long term probability of the same thing happening to know what's a bad bet. 8/30/10: You just repeated what I said only worded it differently; I know making the same bet on the same number for 33.5 or 67 years is a bad bet as is making the same bet on 2, 10, or 100 numbers.

Washington Lottery prizes in search of ownersNews Story
Every year, $9 million in Washington Lottery winnings go unclaimed.

Lets DreamReply
jwhou, So where were you when I needed you during my pummeling in my Fooled By Randomness thread in Lottery Systems? Your post above and its immediate predecessor provide enough insight [for me] to feel even more secure in my belief that most lottery machines and algorithms are sufficiently random for their assigned task. I too have worked with several types of RNGs while doing OS simulations and some not too critical database encryptions. I found the basic linear conguential generator invalu

Interesting. You may not be aware of it but reducing the numbers down to even or odd is essentially the mathematical operation modulus (represented by the % symbol), basically you're taking the modulus 2 of the number (though a modulus 2 would render even numbers to be 0 and odd numbers to be 1). By taking the modulus 2 of three numbers to come up with three binary values, you're classifying them to 8 possibilities, by summing them, you are classifying them into four categories, two of which

After some discussion in your thread, here's is what I think about your question. I think your math as you stated it, is correct. QPs are defined by the Lottery Commission. They are the tickets you purchase which are printed quick pick or similar language. However, the lottery doesn't track SPs. They only define SPs as anything other than a QP. That is where the major difference of opinion comes up. If someone plays dreams or license plates, it is based on some random event. It isn't a QP. B

you bet what men wrote . ......because it's a lame excuse that it isn't valid because men wrote it thousands of years ago. if you were to hold to that as a valid excuse , you would have to imply the same integrity de-validation process and disregard every single thing ever written from 2 seconds ago backwards - all the way back to the beginnning of history. you couldn't trust your own geneaology because of illiterate people in your family tree you cannot live a truthful life, and ex
