jackpot lottery poolReply
yes, honesty is the most important of all. Not sure if I would be in one online but anyone I go in with I tell them up front, if you don't want to be fair with the pool players, don't play. its as simple as this. some people get greedy and dishonest and want it all even when their are partners.

Again...I dont know why I bother with PBReply
LOL, Poker is gay? I started playing Poker in November and I already show profits of +$2700 in Poker. If thats gay then Im happy playing the fruity game. LOL!! Chewie Im sure the winner of the powerball is happy but what about the upteen million that dont hit it? Imagine being in a pool of 50 million people and paying $100 to have a small ball hit you on the head. If it hits you you win 50 million dollars. Would you keep doing that? Im not being pessimistic Im just asking what am

I took another $50 and played 8 hours of poker and won $674 online. Im just ve

Is ist legal to play powerball online??Reply
mylollipop a lottery club is a whole different matter. It's against the law to mail lottery tickets. in your case you should have some papers drawn up to include all the members in the pool have each sign the form as to how the money will be disbursed should you win. And include any incidentals like one person might want cash another might want annuity. Each person should agree on only one form of disbursement. Having different payment methods will be a pain. Assign a designated person to pu

Powerball lottery jackpot hits record $365 millionReply
Ryan has it right, and you do to, sort of. Ryanm's reference to any unexpected increase is about any sales beyond what it will take to generate the 365 that's advertised. If only $50 million is wagered they won't even come close to 365 because only 30% of tickets sales goes to the jackpot prize pool. The cash sum for the next drawing is almost 32 million higher than the previous draw, and requires almost $107 million in ticket sales. The annuity prize increase is limited to 25 million, whic

Most Matches Only
Do any states operate a Pick 5 (or any other game) like this? If not, would you buy with this concept? Choose 5 numbers from a poll of whatever the standard is. Person who matches 5 of 5 gets the ENTIRE prize pool for that day's drawing. 4 of 5, 3 of 5, 2 of 5, and 1 of 5 get nothing. If no one gets 5 of 5, the jackpot goes to those getting 4 of 5, and if no 4 of 5 matches, it goes to those getting 3 of 5, etc.

Poisson's tables of repeating #'sReply
I haven't done a probability table on the new Powerball matrix, but my past calculations on these charts in this large a pool have indicated that just around the 40% area of total possibilities there is an even chance that a set of numbers generated by a random number generator will be exactly the same as one of the previous sets of numbers. In the Powerball 5/55+1/42 matrix there are 146,107,962 possibilities, so, without doing the actual chart, around the 58,443,185th random number generation

Breakfast buddies file suit over lottery ticketReply
Sometimes the issue of Having * integrity* lays heavily in court cases. Since most of the reporters allegations are merely on the sums lets play math here. Any citizen may bring any ludicrious amount to the court systems and ask for it in their case. The FACTS are - rarely are those sums granted or ever paid in winning cases. Even when Major corporation are sued -they dont write out a check to the defendent-instead they tie the case up in appeals. What this gang is doing is typical- its DOESNT p
