STOP that noise !!Reply
I don't think anyone considered duplicates or what other people do regarding playing in the same pool. So, another play on that drum of CDs.   He goes and picks out a ticket and stands by the wall.   The other guy is his partner and asks what his odds are, CD says 175,711,535 to 1. So that guy goes and picks his ticket. He comes back and CD asks what his odds are. He says: 87,855,768 to 1 because I got the 2nd ticket! Forgetting everything else...CD shouldn't have to pay for a ticke

odds are reducedReply
Brad If you buy one ticket the odds are that your numbers will come up 1 in every 175 million drawings If you buy two tickets the odds are that your numbers will come up 1 in every 87.5 million drawings. If you buy 46 tickets the odds are that your numbers will come up 1 in every 3.9 million drawings. That is odds...that is math...how can that be ignored? Brad It has to be ignored because it is totally inaacurate. Using that theory, you would reach a number of tickets th

LotteryPlayer 20 years of casino work. (Sorry I didn;t set up a link to it, lol). Like I've tried to tell you, odds are odds, not necessarily ratios. People hung up on ratios and even with degres in probabilities can't beat a crap table, you think they're going to beat a lottery? One more time, lottery odds are based on the number of possible combinations Seriously think about one ticket eliminating 87,000,000 combinations. Impossible. By the way, searching the math.com sit

If you are going to buy 46+ tickets.....Reply
The odds of winning the jackpot (5 plus MB) are still high as stated in the odds chart because the ticket that has 5 of 5 right still only has a 1 in 46 (or 42) chance of being on the same ticket as the one with the correct MB number. How is that? Your odds are as high as the chart says for matching 5 of 5. If you bought one ticket and it happened to have the same bonus ball as the drawing....how is there more than 3.9 million possible ways to match the first 5 numbers? ONCE YOU HA

what does a prediction formula look like?Reply
Something from Sedertree I will try to keep this simple: The formula in my signature is not the formula that I was speaking of. That formula I referred to in the challenge was part of another post that I deleted by mistake, which was: O/N = E O=Odds N=Numbers E=Number of Events Or the One Formula.... So if O was equal to the odds of hitting a straight 3-Digit number (1,000) and N was equal to eight numbers. Then E would equal 125 dvents. Y

Same lottery numbers win game twiceReply
It was lucky for us (that is, for those of us who oppose computer drawings) that this happened, because ghe game isn't pari-mutuel: Let's assume the repeated number was the result of a computer glitch. Assuming winners in last night's drawing were randomly distributed, and that yesterday was a typical day for sales, it looks like about $80k worth of SuperCash tickets are sold each day. Running prizes against odds it looks like this is a 50% game, with 21 cents on the dollar going towards th
