What if Powerball was created to Recruit Codebreakers or People experts in higher MathematicsReply
expert in higher mathematics you could win the lottery Actually lottery probabilities or mathematics are not that difficult for you to calculate them yourself. They are advertised to you in every game by the way. let say that you were tasked to create a lotto game: the typical setup will be something like: (This is a very simplified model that doesn't include logistics, operations, advertisments etc) 1st step: Is to generate trust in your business model. randomnes, transparency and

What do you do to Increase your Odds of Winning?Reply
Well, it really isn't a system if there' no causality. It doesn't matter what kind of frequency analysis, addition, subtraction or multiplying that you do, if there isn't a reason behind it then it's just arithmetic. Methods of covering odds such as wheels are just too rich for my blood as you wind up buying hundreds of tickets and most wheels involve selecting a subset of the numbers to cover often chosen by frequency statistics but the mechanics of the draw are such that the difference bet

North Carolina: 2/1 - 2/28/2010Reply
Thanks Angel...and congrats on your win..!!!! Ya know whats strange though? It seems back in November/December that everyone was hitting a lot more....plus the numbers here lately are harder to calculate for,not just in the NC forum but elsewhere as well... How could it be possible that two different state lotteries get the same combination....this is what happened with 361....its almost like someone behind the scenes is manipulating the outcome of these events or how common should we t

Millionaire Jumbo Bucks (Ga.) questionReply
Buying more from the same roll is a two edged sword. There's a minimum prize amount guarantee in each pack so buying an entire pack will guarantee that you will win something but not every pack has larger winners. If you take a look at the prize structure you will notice that several of the lower value prizes will have the number of prizes comparable to the number of packs which you can calculate by taking the total number of tickets printed and dividing it by the number of tickets in a pack.

Need a NumberReply
just having fun... well, there is always 3 (#of birds), or 15 (# of birds + date) or (son's age + # of birds) or (your age + # of birds) if you really want to get ambitious...(your age + son's age + date)( / the # of birds) - all the time it takes to calculate all of my idiotic equations. more serious note. if your in Goldsboro, then the Powerball is your game. I would suggest picking a teen #. (13-19) there hasn't been one in the string in 3 draws. odds are most likely one will show

As technology and software progress....Reply
Hi BobP, i follow you with what you write. I don't know if it's accurate enough, but here is something i read not to long ago, and from my point of view this comes very close to what it really comes down to: **************************** No one really needs any lottery software, anyone can make their own wheels, use filters, calculate statistics, find out what states had 3 doubles in a row (talking pick3 here), what states had no double in for example 15 draws, find the hitting hi

Odds 101Reply
Your first two paragraphs suggest that you might be really close to getting my point, and I think you'll be there as soon as you consider that the question isn't how much can you profit, but what are the chances of winning? Here are some questions. 1. After thoroughly shuffling a standard deck of cards you draw a single card at random. Nobody placed a bet on the outcome and no money changed hands. Was it still possible to calculate the odds of drawing the ace of spades? 2. It see

code breaking and the LOtto...Reply
Quote: Originally posted by BobP on May 28, 2006 The problem is lottery numbers don't stand for anything, they are not a measure of anything, so there is no meaning behind their order to be worked out like there is with a code. They are pictures that happen to look like numbers. Because of this we can use some math to deal with their distribution. It helps to remember a 1 has no more or less value then a 49. There are patterns and those patterns can be slid up and down the scale. So even

Pick 3 Paradox? Question of probabilityReply
Good to see someone caught on - Indeed it is all about perception!A front loaded double does in fact have a 10% chance of creating a triple. In just the the same way a back loaded double and a split loaded double also have the same 10% chance, but when and only when they are looked at individually. The problem arises in my so called paradox because of how the numbers were perceived or observed. All the double types (front - back - split) do have the individual 10% chance of creating a triple

MD, and other participants in this Challenge:Would you mind if I propose a plan, for just entertainment purpose?Simply allow me to participate in this Challenge but with a different matrix.As you are already aware, the current challenge matrix (15+5) is equal to 15,015 combinations. What I would like to do is for me to personally challenge with a different matrix. That is, (10WBs+46MBs). That matrix covers only 11,592 combinations, fewer than the current by 3,423.
