About those NC Digital Online Games...What's the verdict?
I asked the search engine about NC digital instant games and what money they take in vs what money they pay out. I asked the question b/c the games seem to just take your money and never give you anything substantial. Below is the response, but I am having trouble believing that they pay out 87% of proceeds. Nonetheless, I do believe the part that says that even though they are taking in more $$ with these games, that they are contributing less to the education system than they did before the di

New Jersey couple wins $3 million lottery prize six months after winning $1 millionReply
A husband-and-wife team defied insurmountable odds 0 Apparently the odds were completely surmountable. That's not how probabilities are calculated at all. That's exactly how odds are calculated. For instance, the odds of someone winning both PB MM jackpot would be 1 in 292M*290M. That's the odds of winning both games if you buy only a single ticket for each game. If you buy 10 tickets for each game the probability of winning either is increased tenfold to 1 in 29.2 and 1 i

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
If they advertise $794M, they get less excitement/sales than if they advertise $800. I more or less agree with your reasoning because, even though it's a small difference in the grand scheme the lottery would be offering a few million bucks more. If you look at advertised jackpots from the past I think you'll find that for whatever reason they take their best guess at sales and stick with that number. Four weeks ago they advertised the jackpot as $547 million instead of a nice round 550 whi

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
You are missing the point as to why a lot of players resent the $5 ticket price. The whole point of Mega Millions is the big jackpot and maybe the hope of second prize. It's really stupid to increase the ticket price so the lower prizes can be increased. Third prize is 10k and multiplied up to 100k The odds of getting anything above 30 k are really ridiculous. If I want to go for 100k I don't need Mega Millions to do that! I could buy a Fantasy 5 ticket for 1$ and get mu

Digit string projection for P2,P3,P4,P5 Games.Reply
Hey Adobea, do you have recommendation for an optimal positional tracking method or tool? I know that the progressions within the r2/r4/r6/r8 boxes provides permutation clues already (especially through v-trac relations I'm finding).... (I envision (r2/r4/r6/r8) as boxes as you travel across progressions either horizontally or vertically = new box or progression after digit reduction (via recent draw digits) ) but I've also added some auxillary tools outside of the pattern recogn

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
I simply load the last cash value, and subtract the previous cash value (generally off the Texas Lottery site) and use the cash/sales ratio to estimate sales . And in this case you got garbage out because you put garbage in as a result of data that wasn't updated. In this case it looks like you used the $498.4 million cash value for the originally announced $1.1 billion jackpot. The actual cash value at drawing time was about $46 million higher, so they needed almost 70 million fewer ticket

three zones of a lotteryReply
Your AI is reinventing the wheel for you, as the number frequency strategy, the very basic among strategies, has been generated, in variety of different forms, countless times before. It's as good as any other strategy but its success depends on how you are going to use it. Mega Sena uses 60 numbers to select only 6 and the lowest prize comes with matching 4 out of 6. As in every jackpot lottery you are going to play groups. The smallest group would be 6 numbers, the largest the whole
