You pay for, what seems like, nothing and get nothing until a chance event.

Breakfast buddies file suit over lottery ticketReply
You can think this in this way , say you buy 175 tickets out of 175 then you have probability of 1. All 175 combinations have equal chance and the sum of probabilities of all numbers would be equal to 1. So to exaplin your others , I am not saying that they disappeared. What I am saying is that when you got your 1 ticket, You have a probability of 1/175 and for others it is 174/175. 1/175 + 174/175 = 1. Similarly if you buy 10 tickets your probability of winning becomes 10/175 and for others it

Statistics around the balance of even/odd and small/big numbersReply
Let's define various events: Event H: The combination (1,2,3,4,5,6) will come. Event B: The combination (1,9,20,29,42,49) will come. Event C: The combination (1,2,3,47,48,49) will come. Event D: Either B or C will happen. Event E: The sum will be 10. Event F: The sum will be 21. Event G: The sum will be 150. (I use H instead of A because the translation software understands letter A wrongly) What I say is: Events H, B and C are equally probable. I don't say: Ev

Why the fervor over a winner being a quick pick or self pick?Reply
QP tickets are generate randomly. You can find out what that means in a few minutes by rolling a die 6 times and repeating the process 5 or 10 times. But that is the point, A 6/49 game has just under 13.98 million possible combinations. This would be Unique Combinations, only after they would take repeats out of the equation. And here comes the question. Do we count repeats or not? What happens after the draw, (and here it comes little bit confusing. In this case, we use draw, as

Chasing a Rare Sync Event
Chasing a Rare Sync Event Here is something you don't see every day. I run these reports every day for all the two-draw-a-day states and every day I check them all looking for unusual activity. It's pretty common to find two or three states that have four syncs going on. Far less common to see five or more states simultaneously with four syncs. Today there are six - Arkansas, California, Florida, Maryland, Ontario, and Pennsylvania. More interesting is the possibility that we might actually c

Thoth writes: What I'm imaging is an event that has a specific and constant probability, but at the same time performs at a much higher percentage than what it has mathemtically been alotted according to its probability. As an inflated example: say an event has a probability of .05 or 5%. This event should only occur 5% of the time over the long term. Now imagine that the event actually occurs 10% to 15% of the time not just in one state, but in every state that has the same game. Of cours

Honestly I don't play PB (not available in Ohio) and I rarely play the Mega Millions, so I dont know the particulars of the strategy you mentioned. But, if I was playing PB with the choices you laid out, I would probably try to anticipate the 26% and choose my numbers from that group. On the other hand, playing or expecting digits to repeat from X amount of games back is also a good stategy. What I meant in my post was that if any real mathematical advantage is ever found for winning the ga
