$650 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot skyrocketsReply
OK, so I went and bought a PB/W since it's in record territory. Only about the 3rd one I bought since the last matrix change. Wanted to wait til I took a trip to Delaware but since there's an eclipse I'll take a chance. Oh wait...I went to the store in my truck, maybe I should have used my wife's car...yea...Mitsubishi Eclipse. LOL !

Does it make sense to buy Powerball tickets in Brooklyn, NY?Reply
Programmed? Quite possible. https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/304449/4703727 At 5 p.m. a minimum of six people two drawing officials, two certified public accountants and two senior citizen witnesses gather outside the secure room where the lottery keeps its machines and balls: like Nerf balls, but with microchips. They re locked in a cabinet to which only the accounting firm has the combination. Entrance to the room requires biometric recognition and a WITF staff member. Cameras mounted

$535 MILLION: Huge Powerball sales sparks early jackpot increaseReply
It has. Back in 2013, Powerball advertised an estimated jackpot of $600 million annuity and yet the final tally at draw time was ~$590 million. I'm surprised the Powerball consortium didn't cover the difference like many states do with their in-state jackpot games. Doesn't inspire confidence to see a jackpot advertised at X amount and then see the final payout being noticeably less. It wasn't a huge difference, relatively speaking, but deceptive advertising nevertheless. Many lotteries don't

Georgia: 7/1 - 7/31/2017Reply
Do you mean the digit ZERO that BG mentioned? It means if the longest frame of time where a ZERO has not hit was say 30 draws/games( this is just an example) It is now 2 draws away from being at the same point...........so the record could be broken if it goes longer

Virginia: 7/1 - 7/31/2017Reply
I know I am a broken record on this, but hits in Followers Workups are running wild across the Lotteries. After looking through the workups, I am completely reconsidering my Night numbers. I know HugeBens posts the on-registration workups.

Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle - XXIVReply
Lets hope they do bring it back and with enhanced early bird drawings too! Even though I bought a total of nine tickets spread across three Early Bird drawings, (all losers!) if there is another raffle, I'll play again. My wife's job regularly takes her to a town in NY that's on the PA border, so it isn't a that big of a deal for me to get tickets. Given the track record of late big winning tickets, I might hold off until the bitter end next time. (Should the Early Birds get enhanced, then t

Back Testing FormulasReply
Going back and only using the data you knew before a drawing would be closer to back testing but that's harder so it's not done. The Data you knew before the drawing? I have run a few ideas in the past. I am curious about what data you know before a drawing. That known data for the next draw can also be recorded for all of the previous draws (assuming it can be calculated). You can then look back for the Same known and record what happened next. Call it a WHEN-THEN test. Probably s

Questions about mega millions in October
What do you all think it will be by the time $2 per rolls in? Which member will have an awesome record by that time? Will there be multiple winners (2,3,4,5) and will there be a problem with a state or commonwealth issuing problems after taxes are taken out?

N.Y. men arrested for redeeming winning lottery tickets for people in debtReply
In CA you have to submit a claim form for anything $600 and above. I would assume they would withhold fed taxes at that time. Not sure what they do in NY. Regardless, once the state has a record tho, they will submit to the feds for tax purposes. As to anything less, how many people who win small amounts who dont have debts actually claim and pay taxes on them. I say nada. The only claims being submitted illegally by 3rd parties are those that the state will automatically withhold, no? So, a

Wednesday Wish: At least one LP member Wins the PB Tonight.Reply
Those winners who say those things provide a little bit of levity to the more experienced player. We know better. It is the winners like David Lee Edwards RIP, who say they will provide for his daughter and fail to do so that angers most players. When John and Lisa Robinson of Munford, Tennessee won a third of the prize which was the PB record amount said those types of things they were recognized as rookie lottery players. Do not be surprised when it happens again. Odds are that
