each week i will win 3.oo because i will match the powerball.one winner The odds of winning the grand prize in powerball are 1 in 146,107,962.00The game sold $2,821,073,017 in FY06 (July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006).The game sold $2,503,651,244 in FY07The odds of winning the grand prize if you covor all 42 numbers each week are greatly Increased on that one winning ticket. To 1 in 3,563,608.83(same as the odds for matching 5 of 5.)Ever notice how its pools that often win?Is this the reason?your chances are 4,100%better of winning in a pool that covors all POWERBALL numbers than playing 100$ worth of quick picks at 100 in 146,107,962.00 odds. | | |

80% of winning tickets are computer generated Actually it is closer to 70% if you are talking of Quick Picks, letting the computer pick your numbers. The percentages reflect the way tickets are purchased, more tickets are sold as Quick Picks. | | |

Also, not showing up in the Lottery Post's data. The Wisconsin Badger 5 has a match 2 of 5. If those were included, there would be an additional 25 wins to tack on for the 2007-10-06 date.

00050 - 22 23 25 27 28 - 04 I would not be so unhappy about the lack of a 2-number match, if I were you. If I applied the REAL Badger 5 payouts you'd be doing a lot worse. In Badger 5, 4 of 5 pays $50, and 3 of 5 pays $2. You posted above your Lottery Post stats: | JADELottery | Wisconsin | Badger 5 | 4 of 5 | 22-23-25-27-28 | 23-24-25-27-28 | $150 | | JADELottery | Wisconsin | Badger 5 | 3 of 5 | 17-21-24-25-27 | 23-24-25-27-28 | $10 |
Are you sure you want to quibble about not getting $1 for a 2 of 5 match? ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ By the way, for those who are not familiar with the predictions board payouts, the payouts across every state for a particular game type are purposely made the same, so that state-to-state comparisons are possible. For example, on the prediction board, Pick 5 games always "pay out" $10 for a 3 of 5 match, no matter what state the hit is in. The same goes for Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 6 games. The only games that get a unique payout are unique games -- such as Powerball and Mega Millions, and other games that include a bonus ball as part of the normal payout. (Not in games like NY Lotto, which include an extra ball drawn, but which you can't actually select a number for on the game card.) | | |

I understand the intricate problems of programming. The information I've stated has another propose. I can not say what it is, because it's an experiment in progress. I have no problem with the way you have the prize levels and payouts set to, however, if you can make it more inline with the actual Game, Great. Order is a Subset of Chaos.

Post your Quick Pick Selections on the Prediction Board and Prove It. Order is a Subset of Chaos.

"Random Creep" is what one author (William Atwood, I believe) refers to the numbers that repeat on subsequent lines of machine generated quick picks. Random Creep defeats players from winning because numbers are repeated on purpose to limit or prevent the player from playing OTHER numbers. I think it would be accurate to say that majority of LOSING tickets are quick picks. Lastly, I call quick picks QUICKRIPS! because that is how they function most of the time. "ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. THAT WILL ASTONISH SOME AND GRATIFY THE REST." PRES. HARRY S. TRUMAN, DEMOCRAT | | |

Since QP's account for 70 to 80% of all tickets sold, anyone with half a clue would expect that they should account for the majority of losers unless they're substantially better than self picks. As far as "random creep" goes, that's simply a buzzword that may have been successful at selling a few lottery books to people who don't realize that having numbers repeated on multiple lines of a QP is no different than wheeling.
