$1.25 BILLION: Epic Powerball winless streak marches onReply
The Poisson distribution for the probability for various numbers of winners, based on the estimated sales posted on the Texas Lottery website, $166,593,667, is as follows: k, number of winners p(m,k) 0 74.34% 1 22.04% 2 3.27% 3 0.32% 4 0.02% 5 0.00% Sales of course, may ultimately be higher, in which case, the probability of a single winner or multiple winners at each level will go up and the probability of no winner, 0, will go down.

The Most Essential Skillset To Beat The LotteryReply
The numbers do have certain behaviors to them. There has to be at least one number that has the least number of hits per year, and one (sometimes two) has to have the most hits per year. There's always a normal distribution or Bell Curve for all the numbers in any game. Also in just about every game, repeaters, one, two, three and four skips typically have the most hits in any given number of drawings. I like to keep it simple and use behavioral things like this to help me pick my numbers -

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Well, it is what it is with regard to two drawings per day... On another note, #4 has popped 121 times (spread across two drawings per day) and will be the FF5 number with the most hits in 2025. #19 (114 hits) and #6 (113 hits) wont catch/pass #4. The only question now is will #4 go higher? It's got just one hit in December with two weeks to go in the month. On June 30, 2025 #4 and #6 had 60 hits each, so players could already see on July 1st, 2025 that those two numbers were going to b

New pyramidal reduction method for Pick 5 and Pick 6 games – looking for opinionsReply
No, my friend, that would be a mistake. I would focus (since there are so many numbers) on applying what I mentioned earlier. Playing all 69 numbers means more than 11,200,000 combinations (way too many). If you divide them into two groups (let s say 35 numbers), then each group has about 324,000 combinations. Since there are two groups of 35, that s a little over 649,000 combinations in total. And then you rely on the relationship I explained: 0 5, 1 4, 2 3. I m not sure if I e

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
I think you've made a mistake, presumably in point 4. You know the chance of matching 6 of 68 is 1 in 109.45 million, so you should expect 1 jackpot winner for every 109.45 million tickets. With 10 cents from each ticket going to the jackpot you'll have just under $11 million each time you pay a winner $25 million. You could do that with an annuity, but if you hand out cash you have a problem. To fully fund a cash prize of $25 million you'd need 22.84 cents from each ticket to go to the jackpot.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The 40 roll record for Powerball is $2,040.1 million - more than double the current jackpot. A lot more than double this one. The cash value of the PB record jackpot was a hair over $997 million. If this run gets to the same 2.04 billion it will only be worth $941 million, coming up $56 million shy of the record. If this run gets to 2.05 billion PB will brag about a new record, but to simply equal the record we need an annuity of $2.1627 billion if the interest rates stays the same. lot
