Identical quick picks 10 timesReply
I am having trouble inserting image as well .. below is link... http://www.azfamily.com/news/consumer/How-Random-is-the-Lottery-144741935.html Not saying this could never happen ( I have seen cases where all five white balls match on different tickets) But if you look at the image from this article -- you see something weird In my opinion it looks like a cut and paste job (and not even a good one at that).... The ticket on the left -- has it's background off centered and the back

Odds on MisinformationReply
RJOh, There are several references online. Ian Saliu wrote an in depth discussion on this combination to describe the difference between probability and degree of certainty. Camelot, the corporation who operates the UK National Lottery released the most common combinations played. No surprise. 1,2,3,4,5,6 was, quoting from an online source (which can be found by typing 1-2-3-4-5-6 into any search engine), if I recall correctly, at some stage there were about 10,000 tickets purchased for

Only one? No all major lottery in EU or US is rigged: El Gordo, in Spain is not a exceptionReply
litre, Wilkommen, From the OP: this is how they done it to rigg the el gordo lottery in spain. before the drawing they put the selected balls in the freezer. the kids get then instructions only to pick this cold numbers for the big fat one. Was the Spanish press you mentioned a tabloid? The 'cold numbers' explanation sounds like something a tabloid would run, as a parody article. ___________________________________________________________ Anyone else see this and think

Proposed Buffett Rule and How It Would Apply to Some Lottery Winners Who InvestReply
It is NOT a world wide consensus that global temps are rising. There are hundreds of results on google just searching scientists against global warming and several articles about the thousands of scientists against it. Here is a link to one article that has 31,000 scientists that reject global warming. http://www.wnd.com/2008/05/64734/ The global warming hoax is about control. In the 70's these scientists claimed there would be a new ice age by the year 2000. We see how that worked

Florida Lottery education spending investigatedReply
The sad part of all this is that lottery money has been used, especially the past 10-15 years, as 'in lieu of' funding for schools. That means taxes are cut, or funding to schools decreased, in the amount (sometimes less as here in Virginia) transfered from lottery 'aid'. One big reason nearly every state does this is to get out of a having to pay for schools with increased tax rates as are really needed to fund them. A recent study showed that every state that funds schools with lottery proceed

Biggest letdown in lottery history - what's yours?Reply
I agree. Publix does seem to have a lot of big winners on the states lottery's website. There was a time once where I put a bookmark on Google Earth for the big winners of the scratch-offs all over the state: the amount, the store, city, etc. I should resume that practice, along with recording my wins and losses on an Excel spreadsheet, with a page for each ticket (at least the ones I played a lot). Some gas stations are pretty good, while others suck. I have a very strong feeling that clerks

POLL - Will You Buy $2 Lottery Tickets?Reply
Hi Ridge, When I play the big games, then I play for $2. There's too much to lose, imho, without taking the Powerplay or Megaplier. The chances of winning are remote, but I still think it's possible or I wouldn't be playing. So I want to be covered if I am blessed with some kind of win, even if it isn't the jackpot. In Todd's article yesterday about Powerball it says; Even though there were no jackpot winners, 13 lucky tickets matched the first five numbers for a $200,000 second-place pri

Mass. Lottery game very profitable for those who know how and when to playReply
RJOh Random tickets overall would conform to the odds of the game. If the prize payout was less then the tickets needed to win then they take a big gamble. Playing at that level is something I can't afford to do and if I could afford it then I would not play. In the article they mentioned a 5 of 6 could win $100,000.00 and that would mean that it was very safe but I still think some sort of system or wheel would needed to ensure a certain amount of coverage. If the payouts were

A Wheel Question...Reply
If you investigated Don Catlin a little further you would learn that, among other things, he IS a consultant. Pumpi had a question about a pick-4 wheel and you're off on a tangent and want to debate the credibility of a gaming writer. Even if Steve Wynn couldn't go to the bathroom without consulting with Catlin, his opinions are useless to the question. Are you implying that the casino industry makes its money using math principals that disagree with Catlin's? Catlin's writes articl

A Wheel Question...Reply
This is hilarious! When Ion Saliu had his bogus stuff deleted at Wikipedia he bemoaned his plight. Here is what one of the gatekeepers said in reply: (Some LP people call the gatekeepers Lottery Nazis!) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to post your own theories. See Wikipedia:No original research. andy 19:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC) I've run into this issue before where my mathematical contributions were deleted, so I empathize with you somewhat.
