On Average How Many People Play PB or MM In A DrawingReply
The reason I asked the above question is to be able to see how odds can be viewed. We are accustomed to the 1:292M or 1:300M odds of winning. One can see the magnitude if the odds are compared with people. For instance let's say in tonight's PB drawing, 35 million people played. So if you have a ticket you know that there are 34.999999 million people who have a ticket or tickets in their hands plus you.

$865 MILLION: Powerball jackpot reaching historic levelsReply
I've been playing for 20 years! I'm happy if I just matched the 5 Mega ball with Mega Plier and go off into the sunset. For the life of me I don't understand why people will still play after winning $10 million or $100 million jackpots from the lottery. I know several people who won millions of dollars but they continue to play. Don't they know they beat tremendous odds. Hey but their stories of people who got struck by lightning twice in the same spot. I seen some crazy odds of like 1 in a tril

Improved odds of a 5W Powerball win, or coincidence?
I've discovered a relationship in the Powerball draws which improves the odds of a 5 white ball hit by a factor of 35.7. 69 choose 5 = 11,238,513, so the odds of a 5W hit are 1 in 11,238,513, assuming the balls are equally likely to be picked. The relationship in past draws reduces the odds to 1 in 314,432 Still a long shot, but much improved. Standard statistical analysis will not sift out this 5W signal. I discovered it with exhaustive search. Could this relationship just b

hello powerball reduction of 11,238,513 to 47,905Reply
The only thing We achieve is just tackle a smaller set first but at the end, when We expand to 5 positions, We would still be facing the same odds. Also playing pick 3 as pick 3 000 to 999 with odds per position as math averages, etc. won't be same for the middle 3 powerball or megamillions numbers. Odds of 0 to 9 as last digits and odds of 0 to 6 are entirely different. I left 7 in MM as only 70 will be there and that goes only under position 5. Even the 0-9 will have varying c

Pennsylvania: 4/1 - 4/30/2024Reply
Interesting, you want to have a contest? You put out 100 numbers, so naturally you have a cut the odds to 1/10 chance of hitting a box combo every draw. You have added in using the most drawn sums, helping your odds a little bit more. Start over May 1st? Your hundred numbers versus my 100 numbers? One month of draws until May 31st. You in?

Odds Question
If a game has odds of 1 in 4.72, and you lose 20 times in a row, would the equation be: (1/4.72)^20= Answer: 3.3201678e-14 ? Also, if the odds remain the same, how would you set up two 20 loss in a row streaks having played 240 total times? Regards

You know here's my point and you have to really look at it this way you've been breaking the odds of one in every 102 games getting these three number hits even anytime you put the odds in your favor. it's an incredible advantage ,think of it as playing blackjack at the casino. The house no longer has an advantage. You now have the advantage. Let's keep it up guys and get some big ones.

Father buys winning $1 million lottery ticket while wife waits in hospital with newbornReply
The expected value from just the $1 million dollar drawing is $40. If we had the odds for the instant prizes, we could compute the overall expected value. Depending on the instant prize odds, that could be a very high payout percentage Lotto. If so, good on the Ontario Lottery. A high payout percentage, which is good for the players, is rarely seen in the US.

Virginia man who won $1,000 a week lottery prize in Cash4Life says it's just "good"Reply
I am confusing this game with Lucky for Life. He won Cash 4 Life. Fixed payout game both of them. Avoid. The Virginia game he won the odds were 7.2 to 1 million whereas the Cash For Life game the odds for the same hit are 1.8 million to 1 but only half the prize. Makes the Virginia one lame.
