Re: Formula for nobody winning is ((N-1)/N)^T where N is ...
Reply to Joe Schmoe's 4/17/2002 8:02:05 PM ET messageYour formula is creative, but I don't think it is correct!Assume there is a lottery with 1/10 odd of win (9/10 Odd of lose), and suppose 10 different tickets sold (all combinations). With your formula, chance of nobody win= ((N - 1)/N)^T= ((10 -1)/10^10= 0.347In simple logic, the winning ticket is sold. It is because all possible patterns sold. Therefore, the formula is false!Please participate and solve this math problem!Original Message:A fe

Formula for nobody winning is ((N-1)/N)^T where N is ...
A few messages ago I was wondering how to calculate the odds that nobody would win. Looks like it's ((N - 1)/N)^T where N is the total pool of numbers and T is the number of tickets sold. Let's apply this to the drawing just held: 2,744,447 won $1 with the odds of 1 in 62. So there were approximately 170,155,714 tickets sold. (76,275,359/76,275,360)^170,155,714 gives 10.75% chance that nobody wins.

Leave Tim Alone!Reply
This is for just Lucky, I agree there are scams out there, but there are honest people that will help other people. I had a person from another state who wanted to buy tickets $50 for him $50 to the buyer. I e-mailed him back that his offer was more than generous but I bought him $50 of tkts today and he has the copy on his computer which are his. My charge $1.10 a ticket and 5% of any winnings over $400. And any small winnings will stay in the pool for him for later drawings. Guess I gave up $4

Tax rules for buying as a group?
I just have a quick question regarding taxation, hopefully someone here can help. I've entered into a lotto pool at work, with about 11 other people (I work in NY). The guy who's gonna buy the tickets lives in Jersey, which according to this site doesn't have a state lotto tax. So, he'll get the full amount (minus Uncle Sam's share). Now my question is, since we're going to be splitting this 12 ways, how will our taxes be affected?TIA, Darren

Play 5/38 Saturday-Sunday 10/20-21 & 10/27-28Reply
Patrick,I know you weren't necessarily hoping for McGreevy, but I'm just hoping your prediction is wrong. The polls are strongly leaning towards McGreevy, but I can hope! Everytime I think of McGreevy, I can't help but picture Florio. NJ residents (and surrounding states) may appreciate that...I thought your other post was excellent. I happen to be fortunate to be in a state that has lottery games with a good-sized number pool (decent odds), plus good prize structures. Your post did a nice job o

NY Lotto 59 starts tomorrow
Don't bother playing New York Lotto despite the return of 2-games-for-$1 in the new 6/59 game. Prize return remains 40% of sales (although 5/39 Take Five DOES have a 50% pool.) A three-number match in the 6/59 will win $1. This new version should be avoided until the jackpot is $35 million. The second prize, 5+bonus, will be a secondary jackpot , since it will ALSO roll over. Lotto 59 might be worth playing at $30 million if second prize was not hit in the previous drawing. As you might have he
