Do you believe every combination has the same probability?Reply
For that same exact order set to fall the following night you would have (1*((10*10))*(1*((10*10))*(1*((10*10)) or 1 in 1,000,000. The odds of the same number occurring in the following night's drawing are 1 in 1000. The odds of a specific number occurring two specific nights in a row is 1 in 1 million. Probability says it's getting impossible to continue to be totally random No, probability just says that the results are increasingly unlikely. Whether or not it's a random result is

FACTS FORUM...WELL LETS START OFF WITH SOME FACTS AND NOT GUESS WORK... FACT # 1...there are 1000 combinations in pic 3...if you play all 1000 then the time it takes you to win is ONE DAY...anything you do after that meaning the amount of combos you play WILL INCREASE THE TIME into the future... FACT # 2...TO FIND THE FUTURE YOU HAVE TO USE THE PAST...and that is where all MATHEMATICIANS are wrong...and just about everyone here at LP can figure that one out on their own...THE MAT

Beware of sharks swimming in your office lottery poolReply
The nice thing about a lottery pool is that I get to pick the numbers for 100 tickets for tonight's drawing. A lot more than I would buy on my own. I protect myself with a very simple contract that everyone signs. I am sure it is not flawless, but it is enough to establish who was in the pool and who wasn't for a court case. The following individuals agree to join a lottery pool for the Powerball drawing on 11/28/12. Each participant shall have contributed $5 prior to signi

What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
It appears the excerpt in my opening post was not the best choice as it quickly prompted 5 people here to fixate on one reference and launch their typical attacks on me consisting of inane remarks which accomplish no more than distract anyone who might have a sincere interest in the psychological aspects of probability as it relates to lotteries. If you click on the link below and actually READ the research article, you will find that the negative remarks made above are, in fact, trivial, and i

Forward-Backward AlgorithmsReply
In computer science, the forward-backward algorithm is an algorithm for computing the probability of a particular observation sequence. It operates in the context of hidden Markov models. The algorithm comprises three steps: 1. computing forward probabilities 2. computing backward probabilities 3. computing smoothed values The forward and backward steps are often called forward message pass and backward message pass . The wording originates from the way the algorithm process

If I reduce the MM or PB number pool by half and play 3o2e/3e2o...(?)Reply
probability isn't an exact science and never will be since you are trying to predict a future outcome. Probability is an exact science. You're just confused about what it can predict . It doesn't predict future events. It describes probabilities. There's a reason we don't refer to the laws of certainty or the laws of what's definitely going to happen . probability can reduce certain variables but it can never be counted on as completely accurate. Probability can't reduce any

Very interesting articleReply
I haven't even checked my list, because it's pointless as I did not buy one ticket. I only posted a list because you and Lotterologist wouldn't stop bugging me about it. I stated that publishing a list for pick 3 is pointless, so I finally just did the same myself. It is extremely unlikely that if you buy over a hundred pick 3 tickets, twice a day, for weeks on end, you will not lose . I looked up his California numbers one time, and sure enough, his list was a loser. Either you're g
