Lottery pool can't be a business in TennesseeReply
IMHO FWIW The fact that the pool manager/controller/collector/whatever wants to be paid is probably the reason for the adverse ruling. Only ONE lottery entity can make a profit - the State of Tenn.

Do Lottery Software program help YOU WIN lottery?Reply
There is no reason, for a program that works, to be on sale to the public. I think you are confusing works with wins. When lottery software designed to tell you the number of time numbers have be drawn in past drawings does that it works but that not winning a lottery. When a wheeling program come up with lines to cover all the possible combinations of threes or fours in a small pool of numbers it works but that's not winning a lottery. When lottery software does what it's designed to do it w

OK stack, I'll play one more time, only because your copy-cat 'no need to reply' displays your brilliant level of originality. The article explained the numbers are drawn after the squares are filled in, yes, but you and the article are assuming an honestly run pool. As for the 'subject at hand' it's quite ironic that you use that as a mantra since your 'subject at hand' is trying to rip apart other's posts. Have a nice life stack, since you seem to think you know everything ab

I'm not sure of the legality of the proposed scratch ticket pool, but in your hypothetical wouldn't the odds be a wash? Let's say the odds for winning the top prize is 1 in 5,000,000. If you buy 100 tickets (a book/pack), the odds for winning the top prize is 1 in 50,000. But, in this hypothetical, you first need to win the pack by selecting the correct square which is 1 in 100, which puts the odds of winning the top prize back at 1 in 5,000,000. Buying books doesn't pay off most of the ti

Illinois LotteryReply
Much easier to cheat with fake computer drawings. That's very tempting for a cess pool of corruption like Illinois. They'll go to fake computer drawings.

Deviation AnalysisReply
If you study the lowest drawn and the highest drawn numbers for each draw ignoring the rest then the deviation becomes more useful and can produce good results but only for the two outer numbers, the reason for this is due to the limits of the initial pool, if you split the draw result into numerical order then plot each set to a graph you will see the outer numbers are limited to around half the possibilities of the middle set of numbers , this then reflects in the overall possibility of choosi

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?Reply
I've never seen a lottery that had a number frequency matching its odds of appearance exactly. Randomness keeps this from happening. As such anything is game for the short run.....streaks, skips, whatever. There's only been 26 draws of Power Play and you already believe it's rigged/bogus/biased....despite me providing statistical evidence to the contrary. Honestly I don't think there have been enough draws to reach this conclusion. Last night Power Play number 5 came up. On an unrelated no

What's the farthest you have drove to play a lotto game?Reply
Back in the late 80's or early 90's the PB jackpot was up around 100 mill. A group of us at work all chipped in 10 bucks for tickets. I was elected to buy the tix. Maryland didn't have PB so I had to go to Stewartstown, Pa. to get them, about a 45 minute drive. I got to the store at 7:15 AM. There was a line. The store opened at 8:00 AM. I finally got my tix at 2:15 PM., left the store and went right to work for a 3:30 PM start. 80 tix, we didn't get one single #. If it wasn't for the fact it wa

Thrifty I did not say that I won PB and/or MM jackpots, the only time I play these games is as part of a pool. RL

Why does the Mega Millions Jackpot not start at $40 mil?Reply
It all boils down to sales, sales, sales, and cost. MM puts 32.577% of ticket sales towards the jackpot. That $8.3 million starting cash jackpot after the recent win? Deficit. Sales were $18,035,251 which means the jackpot was only funded with roughly $5,875,344. Powerball can afford higher starting jackpot because 1) higher ticket price yet comparable sales, and 2) they have a reserve pool which deducts 2% to pad deficits. MM may have a reserve too, I don't remember. Yes, early wins can b
