Company proposes new pooling lottery ticket to fight 'jackpot fatigue'News Story
An Arizona company has designed a new lottery ticket concept that would enter the purchaser in a pool with other lottery players, at the same time entering chances that are not part of the pool.

The company hopes to attract state lotteries with its promise of higher sales. According to the company's press reles

The lotto is IMPOSSIBLE to winReply
Guru101 I appreciate you trying to simplify it for everyone with your HEADS TAILS example. There is only one difference with your example and mine. Yours involves a 2 sided coin. HEADS TAILS , thats's it. We'll unless you count the 3rd side. the thin side Thats right! There is 3 sides to every coin! The thin side, it could land on the thin side, which would be highly unlikely yet could I suppose. Yet again your example involves a 50% chance because you are dealing

An old post last year ..Ga.Mid ..never hits
This was from last year..... has anyone kept up with the hit rate on these Never ever hit before numbers? About once a month a shot of one of these comes by.... gets harder and slower as time goes by. A month or two back.... 5 of these never ever hits actually hit for 5 straight days in a row!! I still have not gotten over that. No one on the math forum could calulate the odds of that occurance! So they really do hit in clumps sometimes.... Good Luck

In state lottery, everyone plays a hunchNews Story
People have different strategies and superstitions when trying to beat the odds and win the lottery. Just ask the cashiers they buy tickets from. Some players refuse to buy two tickets consecutively, said Chris Scott, a cashier at the Shell station off Sunset Avenue and Old Carriage Road in Rocky Mount. They'll get one, and then they'll stand here and wait for someone else to get one, he said. And then they'll ask me, what was the last one they got. And then they'll ask me the numbers.
