It also serves as a proof that at its current stage, as far as lotteries are concerned, AI can provide some ideas for further exploration... What is there to explore? If chatgpt et al had any real intelligence, it would tell you that every combination has the same probability of winning (it will if you ask it an honest question about the lottery, but it's obvious that dr san is asking it loaded questions, and AI is not smart enough to be able to tell it's being trolled). It would tell you t

Very interesting articleReply
The article discusses the usage of a probability concept towards complex things, like science or life events. I prefer to use the term likelihood rather than probability in those cases. A lottery drawing is so incredibly simple, there is no question that the probability of an outcome can be calculated precisely. Even for more complex games, such as blackjack, the house edge can be calculated exactly, but only for the first hand of the deck. To estimate the house edge for the average hand

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot won by a single lottery ticket sold in ArkansasReply
Would've preferred it to have set new record myself.... I suspect that nobody is more unhappy about having a winner on Wednesday that the people at PB. Not only would a rollover have let them boat about a (possibly legitimate) new record, their 50% take for Saturday's sales would probably have been on the order of $200 million more than what it will be for a $20 million jackpot. It appears that all 292.2 million combination of tickets were sold out. The jackpot keeps growing until all 2

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
The way life is going as of now I will have 6 less tickets for Saturday's drawing than I had for Wednesdays draw. I still probably should have bought 7 less tickets than I did but anyhow. Funny I had $26 to spend and I actually considered foregoing the power play in order to purchase lucky 13 tickets for the next drawing but instead got the pp option and now I have $2 to my name. Come to the think of it I could have spent those 2 dollars on a power play less powerball. Oh well! H

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
https://lite.cnn.com/2025/12/13/business/powerball-billion-dollar-jackpot-mega-millions Sounds to me like the author doesn't know much about how lotteries work or appreciate that the results of just 3 or 4 jackpot runs may not be representative. The headline screams that he's missing the clue that even if PB sales were up (they're not) due to MM's price increase it's still probability that results in billion jackpots. The average PB jackpot should have a cash value of about $195 million

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working. There's also the whole deception angle of attempting to buy the ticket in the hopes that the company didn't yet know they owned a ticket worth far more than face value. I don't see any way that it was a lawful sale/purchase. Unprecedented move

I just want to clarify on this comment. The ticket became the exclusive property of Circle K when the would be purchaser abandoned the purchase because of insufficient funds. The prize became Circle K's at the instance of the completion of the Drawing.
