Some of the numbers are only bank related, and totally ignored. The software doesn't even care if you have sufficient funds, just if the special number sequence has an approve/disapprove amount.

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
The Megamillions has rolled over again, and the cash value has risen. Based on sales, the cash value reached $131.5 and is expected to rise to $153.9, the annuity value from $262 to $310. This means that the lottery expects to sell about $90M tickets. From these values I estimate the probability of various numbers of winners as follows:059.92%130.69%27.86%31.34%40.17%50.02%We now see that the most probable outcome, based on this data, is yet another rollover. The second most probable outcome

Characteristics of most winning numbers ?Reply
I like to track my cash 5 game by sorted position. I track in an improvised pick4 game by pos 1 2, 3 4 and 4 5.With this I look for hit skip pattern. And I like the combo report with odd even and other stuff.I was looking for all odd in pos 4 5 for the last few draws. It came tonight as 33-37.There was an all odd due in pos 1 2 and that came on the last draw as 13-17.I just look for little interesting stuff. Right now in pos 4 5 the combo 1 even 3 odd is getting close to prior max skip.T
