It's all luck...Reply
No, you're fooling yourself if you think there is no predictability to the numbers or that some numbers don't have a better record nationwide of hitting then others.Professional lottery people who do weekly predictions know that if you take the 24 hottest numbers for the week nationwide for next week's prediction, you will average about 30 hits per day nationwide over the next week. You can't make money playing this way because of the low payouts, but if the game were played at casino payouts o

Powerball sets a new recordReply
The number of states has no direct bearing on the odds of winning PB/MM, which I think is the main issue. There are what...26 or 27 states/districts in PB (this argument correlates to MM also). How large are the rollovers now? In the beginning, maybe $8 or 9 million each draw, right? As the jackpot rises to $100-$200 million we start seeing rollovers of $15 or 25 million, so the pot increases at a much faster rate.Now, for arguments sake, let's say we had twice as many states in one lottery.

And Todd, I still don't see why you are giving me such a hard time about working at the lottery. I don't work for the lottery or a lottery retailer. I work at a BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO!Well, first of all, it is prudent to be suspicious of anyone claiming to be one thing or another on the Internet. That is common sense.Secondly, I have never met a Blockbuster Video em

America needs a National Lottery!Reply
A government that can give everything to you can take everything away. We don't need another lottery. The track record of state lottery organizations has been miserable. Why take this greed and corruption to a higher level? The state lottery organizations start out with good intentions and slowly but surely run the whole thing into the ground seeking higher profits.Here in Texas the TLC was supposed to spend the proceeds on education, but it goes into the general fund. They claim the procee

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
prob987,You don't get a receipt in any county, but I thought you were talking about computerized voting, rather than getting a receipt. The issue is whether the voting machine records your vote on a piece of paper (which can be audited), or if it merely exists as bytes in a computer database, with no physical record.I don't really understand the receipt thing that you're talking about, because even if you punched holes out of a card, or pulled a lever (which we used to do in NJ), you still woul

I do it this way. I selecy a group of #s that I arrive at by my methods and ignore all combos contained in the group. For instance, for PB draw on 9-1, I have the following numbers. 1,2,3,4,7,8,13,14,15,18,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,28,29,30,31,33,36,38,39,40,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53. That's 38 #s which contain 501,942 five number combos. I wont have any play where all 5 of the numbers I play are included in the numbers listed above because I have figured that the above #s do not includ
