Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
The Powerball jackpot has rolled over. The cash jackpot is now $36M. The advertised annuity is now $74M. Eighth round jackpots sell on average, 18.6M tickets. If this is the number of tickets that sell on this drawing the randomized probability of a rollover will be as follows: 088.02% 111.23% 20.72% 30.03% Note that the last time, in error, I posted the long term probability starting from an eighth draw and not a seventh. Thus the correct long term model

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
Sometimes, for ease, I cut and paste and change the numbers in the first sentence of my posts in this thread from previous entries. The last time I forgot to change the relevant numbers. The cash jackpot is $12.9M. The advertised annuity is $27M. The average sales for a third drawing are $14.9M. If this is the average number of tickets that sell, the randomized distribution of probability of various numbers of winners is: 090.30% 19.21% 20.47% 30.02%

can anyone writeReply
Hi SMB1988, your wrote: Ricky, TNTEA, I do not get the shortsum method for 6766 or 6522. How do arrive at the number of shortsum 5? 6+7=13+6=18+6=24 or 6+5=11+2=13+2=15. Am I doing something wrong? Please explain in detail. I think 6522 was the result of shortsum 15 correct? Made a caculation error there. 6766 --> 6 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 25 --> the shortsum is 5 (the last significant digit, some people call it i believe) 6522 --> 6 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 15 --> shortsum 5 25 an

Powerball lottery being considered in WyomingNews Story
In the latest push to make Wyoming a Powerball state, an interim legislative committee on Monday authorized legislation allowing Wyoming to join the multi-state lottery. Individual lawmakers have sponsored Powerball bills in past legislative sessions, but this marks the first time a committee will formally introduce a bill of its own. A Casper Star-Tribune poll of voters earlier this year showed that 62 percent support Powerball in Wyoming. The poll margin of error was 4 percent. The w

Hoosier Leadership and Basic Math...
Below is an article I found yesterday on IndyStar.com. In order to appreciate the gravity of the situation, I'll have to give you some background information on how this came about. Governor Mitch Daniels and our state legislature decided to lease our toll road to a foreign company for seventy-five years in return for a one-time payment of $3.85 billion dollars. Over 60% of the citizens of Indiana were opposed to this deal, but they went ahead and pushed it through anyway, in a late-night

Poisson's tables of repeating #'sReply
Hello! Not sure how many of you will see this reply, but I DID hear back from MUSL regarding this issue. Here is the reply: Of course, the terminal RNG is NOT set to generate a subset of the total combinations. I know of a case where that did happen (many years ago in one state) and there was hell to pay for the vendor. The terminals are all tested to be sure that the RNGS cover all possible combinations. That said, one must remember that using quick pick numbers crea
