The probability of the jackpot rolling over doesn't fall even to 50% until the number of tickets sold reaches 83,542,791. This would occur where the jackpot jumps by about $53,000,000. I cover the probabilities of rollovers after each drawing on the Probability of a rol

Number Systems and statistics.Reply
Knowing when and where the numbers came up in previous draws is the only way to make an informed guess on what could happen next. When you are up against 3 drawing machines, 4-6 balls sets and not knowing which will be used next makes the guess work interesting. Face it, the lottery has many weapons and they use them effectively.

Here are 5 alphabetical sequences I'm using to choose my numbers in the next MM drawing.These sequences represent my analysis of past drawing results, as depicted in various lists and charts derived though alpha-numeric substitution. It would take some time and space to fully explain precisely how the sequences were developed.Key: A=1-9, B=10-19, C=20-29, D=30-39, E=40-49, F=50-52.I intend to play 15 sets of numbers.
