Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
Your assumption was lottery players would not only continue to play the same way forever, but use the same 8 lines. I didn't use the same 8 lines over and over. The program simulated 2 players with different strategies. Each game the program generated 8 new tickets. For player A it arranged all 48 numbers into random arrangements on the 8 tickets. Player B just simulated a QP player and it generated 8 random tickets and didn't care if there were duplicate numbers on the tickets. I don't th

Quick decision: New Ark. Lottery chief recommends PowerballReply
I don't think they will change the matrix because of Arkansas joining. It would take a state of higher population levels than that -- such as when Florida joined (the impetus of the last matrix change). What will be interesting to watch is if MUSL allows Mega Millions states to join the game. What will they do then? Let's say New York joins Powerball, as their legislature wants to do (if it ever gets back into session). With one of the largest state populations in the nation, it could increas

Powerball lottery to have larger jackpot, but harder to winReply
I could be wrong (it happened once before), but it seems to me that these matrix changes could be brought about by too many people winning major prizes too often. If that's the case, then it's just barely possible that some of those systems out there actually work the way they're supposed to. Regardless of their reasons, I'd like to read the agreement the MUSL signed with Florida to see what types of incentives were offered to change the location of the drawings. My guess is that the MUSL w

Non standard gameReply
Oh, OK. I understand their opinions, but I disagree with their terminology. Although Quinto is different than other games, I reserve the term non-standard to mean lotto games that use something other than numbers for at least part of the results. (At Lottery Post I use the term Non-Traditional , although Non-Standard is close enough.) For example, the multi-state game Wild Card 2 is considered Non-Traditional because the drawing results consist of 5 numbers plus a playing card. (Like Ja
