Win Your Lottery by Lotto-Logix Is Now AvailableReply
Does this not make the conditional odds of winning 1 in 8 when all different digits are drawn and a (10,3,2,3)=8 wheel is played? No, it doesn't. I think of it like this The first ball is drawn, and you are guaranteed to have it. The second ball is drawn, and right there - you could potentially not have it match with the first ball. If you had the 2 if 3 guarantee within the first 2 balls - then the odds would be 1 in 10. If you absolutely new for a fact singles would be drawn, I suppo

Time To Vent!Reply
Odds are odd, and I hope they are in your favor tonight. The one thing about this site is this, and that is, that there are odds people here that are not odd but sometimes overly dependent and oddly overly pragmatic on telling others how astronomically odd the odds are, I include myself, so don't feel odd playing. Because the odds are 100% you will not hit if you ain't in it. From Wikipedia: In probability theory and statistics, the odds in favor of an event or a proposition are the qua

Not enough thoroughbred players around here...Reply
The odds are not what matters, Curious One. Ask yourself, what creates the odds? You're still dealing with the the same numbers; 123456789.....to 56 (Mega Million game). Again, what's creating the odds ? Have a credible method/system and the odds has no hold on you. Another way to look it..... If you're Gladiator at the Arena and your opponents outweights you by 65 pounds, the odds are against you. Again, what are the odds? The odds in this case would be the fact the opponent is a big m

Powerball lottery to have larger jackpot, but harder to winReply
I beg to differ.. if you include contests that aren't the Lottery, but with money prizes.. ever read the odds on the McDonald's Monopoly or the Publisher's Clearinghouse? I remember in McDonald's to win the $1M top prize (annuity only) it was something like a BILLION to one! Yet people even won that. Maybe in Italy the tickets are cheaper so they play 3 times as many? I remember when in PA you got 3 for a dollar and the odds were 100M to 1 per line but per dollar it was ~33M to 1. I have beat

$5 Powerball Quick Pick OddityReply
My theory is that if you are buying a handful of lines, you odds of matching the right numbers is greater than say buying one ticket IE 10 > The overall odds of winning any prize in PB is 36.61 to 1 but you have to hit 3 numbers plus the power ball or 4 numbers to win $100. If you're betting $5 to win $100, you're only getting 20 to 1 odds on your money while somebody betting $1 is getting 100 to 1 odds. How does betting more money increase the odds? Granted by playing 5 combinations,

Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
Buying a second ticket cuts your odds in half because it doubles the number of tickets, and therefore the number of chances you have to win. You started with 1 ticket and you now have 2. 2 is twice as much as 1. Because it doubles the number of tickets you had the first additional ticket cuts your odds in half. KY Floyd, I give up! Seriously, next time you are near a college, go into the math dept and ask one of the professors to read these posts. (Make sure it's an accredited colleg

Oklahoma lottery winners not in a hurry to claim prizesReply
I don't hear 33 times as many stories about people getting hit by lightning as Powerball winner stories. Those odds are a little off because: - The odds of getting hit by lightning are higher if you stand under tall trees during a thunderstorm; lower if you are smart enough not to. Are those odds for a person's entire lifetime or per thunderstorm or something? - The odds of winning the jackpot by buying ONE ticket your ENTIRE life are 33 times higher - do you know anyone who played onl

The Meaning of Random DrawingReply
Here is my point regarding this matter of randomness. Randomness must be naturally occuring, without purposeful interference from an outside source. Both Powerball and MegaMillions lead the public to believe that to match all 5 numbers the odds are.....1 in 3,819,816 for MegaMillion and 1 in 3,478,761 for Powerball. Then the odds increase when you muliply each by the number Megaballs or Powerballs. If they do not ensure that each ball weighs the same.....so that they have to change to various

odds are reducedReply
Now 47 tickets would get you down to odds of 1 in 3.9 million in Mega Millions. This is how lotteries are. That is why the lotteries odds are so high so people aren't winning it left and right. First we started with 1 in 70 million odds and we outgrew that. Then it went up to 1 in 120 million and now its at 1 in 175 million. Go and find someone that has any math background and ask them what they think. That is the beauty of math...there is usually only one answer. 2/8 is the same as
