Mega Millions LotteryReply
The odds of winning the jackpot are reduced to 1 in 258.9 million; however, odds of winning any prize will increase to 1 in 14. Somebody should edit the Wikipedia article because the jackpot odds are increased and the bonus number odds are decreased. It looks like MUSL was trying to find a way to create a $1 million secondary prize without raising the price of a ticket and give their players who never win anything a chance of winning something. The decision of paying $1 for matching the

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
Jammy is a wind bag full of hot air. Looks like I hit a nerve when I talked about Catlin's article on Richard Lustig's book. Perhaps Jammy would like to give me a call and ask me about my false pretenses and my multiple profiles on LP? I read a couple of Catlin's articles; did you know he believes a craps shooter can set the dice to roll whatever outcome the want? It wasn't just dice that caught my eye, but how many times he quoted some of the same mathematicians Jimmy quotes. Be

$590M Powerball winner still shops at WalmartReply
Not sure why you re being so sensitive because no one was giving you a lecture Teddi. Gesh. You ve gotten bent out of shape over an innocuous viewpoint that's different. Like my post said, it was food for thought. Take it or leave for what it was, rather than twist it into something it wasn t. There s nothing disrespectful or lecturing about expressing one s views. Crikey. My point is that there seems to be a preconceived notion that lottery winners are supposed to follow some sort of canned

Ronnie316, I just reviewed all of my blog posts, and for the life of me, I can't understand upon what basis you made the statement, You spew venomous hatred for your country and its people with every blog post... I found some sarcasm here and there, some obvious Liberal article citations, but nary a sniff of venom! Could it be that all a statement has to be for you to consider it venomous is anything to the left of the political center? If this is the case, then we've got a real com

West Virginia man wins $300,000 in Pick 4 lotteryReply
When he said he plays $60 each day, I assume he means in recent history of the past several years. Just the fact he bet $61 the drawing he won on means he doesn't bet $60 each day . And there are other facts including twice when he bet $11 and won $52,600 that must be considered. IMO, your assumption are based on what is known from the article. Also, for the record, I'm not a believer in systems nor do I in any way endorse his same number betting strategy. Even though all of followi

$360 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raised on huge salesReply
It worries me that people do so much to try to protect themselves, and it takes just one dingbat reporter trying to make a name for himself to ruin it. Now this is funny: I'm reading up on these lucky people who won a jackpot, and right smack dab in the middle of the article is a huge add for a bankruptcy lawyer. Hahahahaha. I guess they thought it was only a matter of time and the money for the ad would be well spent. KY Floyd, someone from the Massachusetts state lottery said that they

is anyone making an income from lotteryReply
You posted the link to the article so don't blame me because it says The rule of succession has been subject to much criticism, partly due to the example which Laplace chose to illustrate it. The probability of the sun rising is exactly the same as the probability against MM or PB drawing six numbers plus a bonus number in their next drawings. If you think the Rule of Succession will help you and Ronnie select 28 number sets to wheel which will give you BETTER ODDS to win MM and PB jackp

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
The reason there are probabilities and odds is because something can happen and it's called luck or bad luck when somebody beats the odds and probabilities. Simply put, they had the 1 outcome out of many other possible outcomes. There is a probability in this discussion that someone will make a remark or ask a question that is unrelated to the topic. There is also a probability that the person is suffering from delusions of grandeur and wants to dazzle us with their knowledge because they rea

Test DrawingsReply
Question. With all the security that's involved in the process, why do they need so many pre-draws? I could understand one or two just to make sure the machine is operable, the air comes on, they come up the chute etc. But why five or six? I thought the answer to that one was rather well known. They're testing both the machines and the balls for bias. If they were simply checking the machine for functionality, one or two would be sufficient, but the tests are more thorough than that. Al

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
RJOh, ...picking numbers from a list of numbers in the order they had most recently occurred in previous drawings. You're correct that I didn't read all the early posts in this thread, but I've read enough since I started following it to suspect that the Gambler's Fallacy would be employed to select the subsets of 12, 18, 28, 38, or whatever number is fashionable. It's no surprise as this fallacy is laughed at and joked about by Numerate people the world over, in many languages. Altho
