Paranoid or Prudent?Reply
Look let me put it to you straight! I am not here to win points, I am not here to make friends, nor kiss up to Todd. He has a great site. Nor am I here to put anyone down. I simply speak my mind. I do not care if you made 10 mil dollars last year or 10 dollars. Your wit or wisdom or stupidity or foolishness belongs to you individually, unless you stole it from someone. In that case I am not concerned if you are a thief or liar or a complete lunitic. I have my beliefs about the organizati

California Lottery official fired for taking 'bonus' from hotelNews Story
A California Lottery official has been fired for allegedly pocketing gratuities tied to the weekly Big Spin TV show, where scratch-off ticket winners vie for a chance to win millions. Richard Leeson was dismissed after an internal investigation found that he received redeemable honors points from a contract to house Big Spin contestants at the Glendale Hilton Hotel, officials said. This is not the kind of thing you can make excuses for, Lottery Director Joan Borucki said Tuesday at a

If I reduce the MM or PB number pool by half and play 3o2e/3e2o...(?)Reply
Sorry I took so long to reply, I didn't even know you replied back. Again, you're simply showing that you don't understand how probability works. Probability is an exact science. You're just confused about what it can predict . It doesn't predict future events. It describes probabilities. There's a reason we don't refer to the laws of certainty or the laws of what's definitely going to happen. No, I took advanced mathematics in college. I'm pretty versed on the subject of pr

Lottery foes try to restrict gambling, with little successNews Story
Some New York lawmakers want the state to tell lottery-ticket buyers how slim the odds are of winning, and raise the gambling age from 18 to 21 to try to discourage gambling sprees. But those who oppose change have a ready rejoinder: The state is, in effect, addicted to the billions in revenue that Lottery games generate. The status quo is likely to prevail. If you put in the ad 'The New York Lottery jackpot is now $10 million' and in the next graph say the odds of wining are 1 in 12 m

Indiana Lottery promotion gets crazyNews Story
Lottery chief hurt as crowd grabs potentially valuable balloons Indiana Lottery officials had hoped to parade into Pan American Plaza in Indianapolis on Wednesday afternoon and let 200 red balloons some carrying prizes fly into the sky and ultimately into the hands of some lucky Hoosiers. But before they were able to yell Go! a hundred or so people who'd gathered to watch the event charged forward, grabbing balloons and roughing up at least one of the balloon-holders. No, no! An

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
The Powerball jackpot has rolled over. The cash jackpot is now $36M. The advertised annuity is now $74M. Eighth round jackpots sell on average, 18.6M tickets. If this is the number of tickets that sell on this drawing the randomized probability of a rollover will be as follows: 088.02% 111.23% 20.72% 30.03% Note that the last time, in error, I posted the long term probability starting from an eighth draw and not a seventh. Thus the correct long term model
