Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
The reason for this unusual # of winners is not the layout of the slip but the winning numbers being straight down on some of those arrangements. And since each drawing is independent of the others with each combination having the exact same probability, any pattern, if it's been shared by multiple states has the potential for a similar scenario.

Pinging 333&3333
Just flying by.... solidly pinging 333 and 3333. Unusual, but the next 3 days promise to be so. Honorable mention 555. Edit: And all those 3s certainly multiply to Aries 9s. Or that maddening 369. J

Arkansas lottery winner of $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot comes forwardReply
Yes, it seems like as these billion dollar jackpots become more frequent, people start to forget which state won the jackpot. This seems to be more true if an unusual state wins like Arkansas. A lot of naysayers are always griping when California wins a lot, not knowing that state, has more lottery vending machines in more places than any other state in the US.

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I haven't paid any attention to this game nut I just saw it on the NY lottery's home page for the first time. Obviously everybody gets to decide whether or not they want to play, but here are a couple of thoughts. The first is largely about playing this or playing PB (or MM) when the jackpot is still small. Generally, at least 8 to 10 million people (5 to 7 isn't unusual for Monday drawings) spend $2 when the annuity is $20 to $30 million (even if you die before the drawing) and the cash val

89 second prize winners for the powerballReply
I would say most winners are self picks if your state lottery powerball play slip was organized with 5 rows of numbers per ticket for the white balls for an easy pattern to play. Lots of Keno players play patterns so not unusual. Someone should tally all the state powerball play slips that won and see how many have 5 rows of numbers for easy pattern play. Look at Florida Powerball play slip which is the anti play slip for pattern selection with lots of rows for white ball selection.

Oklahoma couple checked forgotten Powerball lottery ticket, found out they won $1 millionReply
You never hear about serious players losing a ticket because they don't lose their tickets. The people who find their winning tickets at the last minute get in the news because it's unusual.

Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
Do you have any credible evidence to support this claim? Given all the pick 3 lottery games played every day, you're always going to find something unusual like no #5 drawn for a while. That's not a statistically valid conclusion, it's just you noticing randomness in the numbers drawn.

Matching 2 or 3 of 6 numbers is not that unusual. Random numbers have patterns. However, the patterns are random.

Virginia: 5/1 - 5/31/2026Reply
Here's something unusual. My program does seven different workups. Combos of 872 were in there... you guessed it, seven times; Date as 782, Followers as 827, Sync as 782, Backcheck as 278, Sync Map as 782, Max Correlation as 287, and Max Correlation as 728. Do you see the pattern? Every combo of 872 is there, except 872 straight. Unbelievable!
