PowerballReply
9/6 Note: correction, chart updated! thanks j3enator, it's interesting how Padovan sequence is being populated draw to draw (actually i wish this was not the case and there would be a case of under-play from the sequence) intuitively now I am stack and have 0 idea what the next lottery-chess move will be. I could simply play up to 4 Padovan number and one close (non Padovan) repeat, but this has more to do with fact that in a way I desire for it (event, number combination) to manifest itse

Teacher won Powerball lottery jackpot in 1993, now runs camp for kidsNews Story
Down a near mile-long driveway, past farm fields overflowing with hay, corn and beans, there is a magical place along Lake Winnebago's eastern shore, where hundreds of children come to ride horses, play games, paint pictures and spend time in the great outdoors. It's called Camp Winnegator, a local day camp that runs four or five weeks every summer, primarily catering to kids from in and around Fond du Lac. In fact, knowledge of the camp passes mostly by word of mouth, from one family to the

Pick-Quickpick QuestionReply
Tood: Here is an email I received today from the Texas Lottery Commission. Thought you might want it for your reference files. When you read this reply, you can't help but notice that they are talking in singular fashion when referring to a couple thousand RNGs across Texas. The statement about the May 2008 RNG test is interesting, and confusing. In any event, the question is closed as far as I'm concerned. Dear Bobby623 Each terminal has a random number generator

Powerball lottery winner shares $42.5M with relativesNews Story
Jean Edwards went from anonymous retiree to millionaire celebrity this week. But as far as she's concerned, not much in her life has changed. Edwards plans to stay in her Willow Street home and maybe take a vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyo., but that's about it. I just don't know why it would make any change in our lives, she said at a news conference Friday about her instant good fortune as a Powerball lottery winner. We'll be able to get some things we need, but why should you have

Combinations & % Error ChallengeReply
Getting the Biggest Bang For Your Buck depends on the game payouts too. I compared different games that I follow by calculating the amount I could expect to win if I played 10 lines during 100 drawings. For my calculations I used the winning numbers from the 10 previous drawings during the last 100 drawings. I used these numbers because they were probably as random as any I could have picked.

What Would I Do To The TN Lottery - Updated
I've done some improvements on Tennessee's games, but this is little more comprehensive, and I think better. Add front pair/back pair plays. Some big changes here, namely changes that will create more winners across the board. Pick 5 from 35 (down from 39). Win cash by matching 2 or more numbers (down from 3 or more to win). All prizes pari-mutuel. Jackpots will be smaller and will be won more often, but will continue to rollover in the event of no winner. Jackpots will

Setting a trust for anonymity: how does it work?Reply
Sorry about the delay in replying... a couple of days ago I had posted a couple of links to some news stories (about what generally happens to large jackpot lottery winners) in my message and my account was suspended on suspicion of spamming... Anyhow, thanks to Todd and his gracefulness, I'm online again... Thank you so much, joshuacloack, for taking the time to contribute here your wisdom... it is very much appreciated. The problem with setting two trusts, IMHO, with the second one being a

Workout for Pick 5, 5+ and 6 gamesReply
Good morning, all!! As I said in last post, I hope everyone who is following this thread have established the Master sequences, inventories, and D C charts. Before continuing on how to select numbers, I need to tell you more about what I call the Sequence charts, the ones showing the 6 individual gap sequences. At the top of that piece of graph paper, I told you to write in the numbers down the column. I indicated that you put the draw dates across the top. I've als

Costa Rica not caving to U.S. gambling arrestsNews Story
Costa Rica finds itself in the middle of the fight between U.S. authorities and the online gambling industry. Think of Costa Rica and flashes of colorful birds, bright beaches and long hikes through the rain forest come to mind. But several recent arrests and indictments have thrust the country into the spotlight for another, less savory reason: its cozy relationship with the online gambling industry. The industry is under fire from U.S. authorities, helping create the notion that this sma
