Same Mega Ball three drawings in a row...

For sure. There's not a chance they'd just rely on something less subtle, such as having 176 million different combinations, to protect their interests.

Haven't hear much about your Chaos55 principles in a while.  I would have thought if there was anything to it, you would have won one of the top level prizes by now but then I'm one of those players who think odds of 1:175M are almost impossible to beat even with a good strategy.

Everyone loves a conspiracy theory.  A few of you are on to something, however.  The odds of winning are 176 million to 1.  Why would they need to track millions of plays when it's unlikely that anyone will hit it anyway?  But trust me, the Lotteries WANT you to win.  They don't get to keep the jackpot money - the only way they make money is by selling more tickets.  When they have big winners, sales go up.  They want to give it away. 

And the difference in draw times is related to different time zones.  The draw closing will change depending on where you live, and they build in a little time because they have to confirm that sales are closed from all 28 states, prior to the drawing. 

I was just about to say the sme thing about good old Chaos 55.  If I'm not mistaken the last I heard was that, to prove chaos 55 worked you would need to be ready to sacrifice about 10K a draw in order to trap them into pulling the numbers you were really playing.......   

ok this is what i dont understand about you...you always thought this game is rigged...yet you continue to play it...this tells me that you are not sure...is there any logic to this action on your part? why would you participate in something that you think is manipulated?

Because I believe I will win one day, rigged or not.  I believe they rig it for profit... not to dictate who wins or not.  I do, however, believe the

state in which the winner comes from is rigged.  I don't think they really care who in that state wins, just as long as they came from a certain state/states and that the payout for that run is still under their control...to a profit.  So, I can't win it if I don't play at all.  And I don't know when my state will be the one to win that run.

i'm not convinced by your explanation but anyway my belief is that the game is fair...there are just too many combos...good luck in your pursuit.

Actually there is a simpler formula that maximizes each number played 260-fold. That means for every $1 dollar you spend you are actually wagering 260 numbers($260)....therefore you won't need to spend $10K A third of that amount will do the trick. I will be posting my 25 series of actual tests to demonstrate the behaviour of the balls to actual numbers waged. The hardest part of it creating the pool net into which the balls with enter. But it absolutely can be done. I've been riding a winning wave.....though I have also found out it is a bit easier if you sprout your numbes across statelines.....a way of misdirecting the MM sentinels that are seriously hard to evade.

Coming soon I promise.

sorry to hit at you shane but man every sentence you wrote above makes no logical sense...how do you play $1 and "actually wager $260" <<this is ridiculous...the behavior of the balls is random..."a way of misdirecting the MM sentinels"...what sentinels?...suppose i play 3-11-12-27-47..MM 5 ..what will the sentinels do according to your statement?.. your statement implies that they somehow they manipulate what balls come out of the machine which would be immposible to do with 56 balls spinning as fast as they do...remember that you can buy tickets in ohio 10 min before draw...how will they set up particular balls in that short amount of time to come out so that no one is winnner according to your theory?...it is clear to me that you dont understand simple statistics...there are 176 million combos...since many players will play they will sell millions of different combos each time and only one combo will win...each jackpot game is designed to make a profit for lottery since its creation of the format and payouts at the beginning...it is statistically proven based on matrix and studies on player participation and payouts for every category...you can try anything but you will not cheat the odds and statistics of the game beleive me...
