Any Ideas on Lottery SoftwareReply
The program I have developed so far has a complete database of pick 3/4/5/lotto/big game/mega millions and allows for update and modifying in case I make a mistake entering the numbers. The numbers were batched in from historical lists found on the internet. I use a basic history algorithm where I can check for X number of draws with Y number of matches and it pulls the next set of numbers drawn and generates a pool from them. Example - use the last 3 pick 6 draws - go back in time and use 3

Optimum # of Previous Draws... ??Reply
Let's compare the number of possible powerball combinations to a swimming pool. Take one drop of water out of the pool. That's your one ticket. Now take two drops of water out. You have now doubled the amount of water you have. Take 100 drops of water out. You now have 100 times the amount of water.WOW! But now compare it to the amount of water still in the pool. Doesn't seem like you have much water now. Same with the tickets. Save your money, just buy one per drawing.

Megamillions picks 12/24/02Reply
To Bug,I seen that formula before. A year ago, when I also was trying to figure out the odds of winning, I put that and some other information in a GWBasic program which I just plug the combination size, the size of the number pool, if there is a bonus ball, the bonus ball and its pool size or if the bonus ball (as in Ohio649P) shares the same pool as the other numbers and it gives me my answer. I have checked that program against any information I've seen and it always with in 1 number. I t

Has anyone tried a Lottery Pool?Reply
Before I retired I regular participated in several lottery pools with my associates at work. We played the Ohio lottery when the jackpot was 12M or greater and matched 5 of 6 three times and in another pool we played Powerball when jackpot was 60M or greater and never won any real money. In the Ohio pool there was always a problem when we matched 5, because unless it was the jackpot, Ohio paid the winnings to one person who also had to pay the taxes. Because we saw each other at work everyday, w

Roy Gibney, 63, is selling the property he bought with his 7.4 million (US$10.3 million) jackpot back in 1998 for a price tag of 1.125 million (US$1.56 million).

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Oh no, I don't like what am hearing. You are new to the pool and you don't know all the rules. Don't know how many members make up the pool. That's scary. It's always said great lottery pools have laid down rules that members sign against. It's like a legal binding contract. If you don't how how many people are in the pool, how sure are you someone is not getting 5M when you are getting 1M? What happens if the relative buys a ticket and it wins and the relative keeps the winnings to
