Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
When all four digits are even for two drawings, there are only five digits they could be I don't know how hard he worked to cherry pick those particular results, but it doesn't matter that they happen to be all even. The odds of any particular drawing being all even (or odd) digits is only 1 in 625 instead of the 1 in 10,000 chance when selecting from all 10 digits, but once you choose any specific 4 digit result the chances of a result with those same 4 digits isn't affected by which 4 dig

1) In what alternative universe do you live where 1,221,759 divided by 5 is 38,719? It's the alternate universe where your odds are inversely proportional to (the number of tickets you bought) ^2. When you say each time you double the number of tickets you buy you cut the odds in half he somehow hears each time you buy another ticket you cut the odds in half. I've cut ther odds of 1,221,759 down to 38,719 so surely I can expect to win somethnig tonight, no? I guess that in that un

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I would be shocked if a casino sold books about gambling with any truth in them. They need people to make bad bets. I didn't say each additional ticket cuts the odds in half. I said the odds of you winning is (odds of one ticket winning) divided by (number of tickets). Use my pick 2 example. What are the odds of me winning if I buy 2 tickets? How about 5 tickets?

would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
In Las Vegas every time a 'knowledge' player would approach a table with a note book and a pencil would approach a table old time bosses would say, Oh here we go, another genius from Providence . You sound like one. While one player on a crap table is winning a lot betting on the hard ways and horn bets they'll be another one on the table telling other players what bad bets the prop player is making. So much for a math degree with an emphasis on probabilities. Your thinking that four shooters on

What are SC 5's odds? If they have a matrix greater than 5/36 then the games odds are higher than FF5's. (376,992 to 1) NY Take5 has 575,757 to 1 odds because their matrix is 5/39. Mass Cash has a 5/35 matrix and their odds to win a jackpot are 324,632 to 1. A little means a lot! G5

New Jersey couple wins $3 million lottery prize six months after winning $1 millionReply
I'm talking about the 1 in 1.2T odds mentioned in the article specifically which is independent of how much you play. You can play a 100 or 1000 games, the odds above are not going to change since odds of winning those big prizes are calculated based solely on odds of each of those two games. On the other hand, the more you play the more chances you have of winning something which is common sense and you can't combine both. I don't know how else to explain it further.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hi gatorsrok, you're welcome and indeed if I'm estimating the ticket count correctly then yeah the $500K odds aren't that great - heck iirc the $30 FTM from a few years back had similar odds for a $1M and was a $30 ticket. indeed if the $200 prize level was rolled in the $500K line the odds go to 1/94,000 or so. i think with this structure book buyers will not have to cringe as much fearing a $400 return I plan to actualize the odds when the rule is issued tomorrow, so please stay tu

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Each ticket is up against the same odds. Take your theory to PB and MM level. Consider that for every drawing those who play do not realize they are all part of one humongous pool. We'll use odds of 300,000,000 to malt it easier. So if the first ticket is up against 300M and the next ticket is up against 150M, etc. somebody will have twin. Oh, wait, many drawings go by with no jackpot winners. Gee, how can that be because Tucker Black said..................,Go to the Florida lottery website and

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Ahh sorry, I meant expected value, not earning potential. I must have been tired when I typed that up lol. Basically I meant F5 has the best ODDs for a Florida game. Fantasy 5 is generally considered the best bet among Florida draw games because it offers the most favorable overall odds of winning any prize. It has a smaller, more frequent jackpot and better overall odds of winning any prize (1 in 7.58).
