Changes coming to Powerball multi-state lottery game in JanuaryReply
so if chick32 who we think he is. thank god the cap gone , good news , maybe now PB has a shot at beating MM records. even if the odds are lowered the current powerball FAQ , thirty cents of every dollar sold, goes into the jackpot. so now with it be 2 bucks, it be 60 cents to jackpot right? , with the change of 2 bucks per ticket? if we do have a high 300m or record run, the 2 buck change would be Good for it jackpot growth , as people buy a lot during lotto fever outbreak. ,

It's Time for BIG JUMBO
With so many people playing Powerball and Mega Millions and with each jackpot being hit more and more often I would like to see Powerball and Mega Millions make some changes so that we can get bigger jackpots more often. $200,$300,$400 million or more would create more excitement for all of the players. I don't know if PB or MM are planning on making any changes in 2011 so that we can get bigger jackpots or not. So I thought I would toss this idea at you guys and see what you thin

$200 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot heats upReply
if you got 2k to spend blow this year i highly remd you just buy 39 tickets at a time, 1 ticket with each diff powerball. and do it over the year for all high jackpots see it as buying 39 tickets, when it only cost you 36 bucks! , as you Have to have at lest a 3 buck winner if you play ever single snip powerball number! am just saying, if your going to spend a lot, it makes sense do it around mega balls or powerballs for pb, as its best bang for your buck. odd wise i highly hold back

Does Mathematical Innumeracy foster superstitions and support the belief in them?Reply
RL: No way of walking through it without getting it on your boots. Afterward if there was any stink in what he was walking through the aroma follows a person around until he takes the trouble of scraping it off. It would be nice to see some new threads on the Math Forum involving lottery related math minus a lot of personality juice, but until someone chooses to begin threads of that sort there won't be much to draw a person to the Math Forum, instead of one of the others.

Interest In Backtesting and Simulating Lottery SystemsReply
It's fairly easy to find 12 numbers that have won several jackpots but what does it prove? For example in Ohio Rolling Cash5 (5/39): 03 04 07 10 11 15 16 21 23 30 35 38 07/03/09 - 11 16 21 30 35 04/18/09 - 03 10 16 35 38 03/30/08 - 03 07 15 23 35 02/04/08 - 04 15 21 35 38 also: MATCH 0 = 277 MATCH 1 = 766 MATCH 2 = 788 $ 788 MATCH 3 = 370 $ 3700 MATCH 4 = 62 $ 18600 MATCH 5 = 4 4 jackpots 1220 prizes = $ 23088 + 4 JP

Backtesting and Simulating Lottery SystemsReply
Now that I composed myself. Haven't read the post you are talking about yet. Maybe it's just me, but before I make a bet, I want know what I'm betting on. Would I bet $1 on the next 10 pick-5 games trying to match 2 or 3 numbers? Nope. Would I bet $10 on the next drawing trying to match 2 or 3 numbers? Nope Would I make either bet in the next 15,000,000 drawings for the same reasons? You got to be kidding me. A true test would calulate how many jackpots were won by betting $1

How would you design a game so more people win?Reply
well choice is always best, maybe i just like to throw ideas around see what sticks. maybe there could be an option, and players get to pick a box when they play [] i want to share [] i want it all. maybe there could be 2 different games in the same draw, both contributing to the same pot, but offering different odds of wining. and a much greater likelyhood of sharing a massive jackpot prise if you take the lower option asnd a much greater chance of wining it all if you take the
