California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Interesting. I think the education system in Britain is much better than United States. The British appear to understand probabilities much better. In Britain, most jackpots are won by pools. They are referred to as syndicates in Britain. There is mathematical proof. Your odds of winning increase dramatically with more tickets bought.

Michigan woman finds out through Facebook that she won $1 million Powerball lottery prizeReply
Many people around the country believe they never going to hit so they just play for fun and they really don't check their tickets immediately until like weeks or months later because of the odds or that old saying it could never be me or it's fixed I always check my tickets because I heard unbelievable story here in Ohio from a person who works for the lottery that a man called into the headquarters and asked him to check his ticket that he found ball up in his pick up truck! He lost it and nev

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
This was the only unclaimed Mega Millions jackpot ticket in 2023 Only one? With just 6 jackpots in 2023 what are the odds that only 16.67% of them would go unclaimed? Using that math formula, 80% of $36 million is $28.8 million (which goes to education), and 20% is $7.2 million (going back to future prizes). Using a better formula 80% is $13.92 million because they're probably not going to put that money in to a 29 year annuity.

How many combinations of the 4 patternsReply
Yes equal Possibility. I might have extrapolated pick game probability which is wrong because the prizes vary for singles, doubles and triples. The odds are blended with prize split-up. It was just brought up to show the difference when we get to different aspects/features/characteristics of the draw result, they don't do so. In big games though the individual white balls have equal expected occurrence, some go cold and some turn hot and others stay mild. Then over the period they switch pl

Nature of Randomness in Mechanical SystemsReply
Pennsylvania, April 24th, 1980. Nick Perry, then the host of the lottery drawings at WTAE in Pittsburgh, and lottery official Edward Plevel recruited WTAE art director Joseph Bock to inject a small amount of latex paint into the lottery balls that were not 4's or 6's. Reducing the 1:1,000 odds down to 1:8. They then played 7,000 tickets of each of the 8 combinations for a payday of $3,500,000 when 6-6-6 was drawn. There were other co conspirators who bought the tickets. They were eventually caug

Buy the whole $10.00 Book?Reply
In Texas a pack usually has a guarantee of 50% of the cost of the pack, give or take, so a $10 pack costing $500 is guaranteed to return about $250. I wouldn't say the outcome is most likely profitable. Possible, yes, not most likely. I imagine scratch ticket odds are the same in any other state selling lottery tickets, but I haven't researched other states, so I may be wrong.
