Fallen plum tree wood,

Laden rich with morning dew,

Mocks death, laughs tears, smiles.

They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out

Your on this date with me
The pickin's have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush

You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that i can do is pray

Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady never leaves her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, i'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

A lady never flirts with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd be nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, i'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

The Lottery Paradox

The Lottery Paradox, originally noticed by H.E. Kyburg in his 1961 Probability and the Logic of Rational Belief, is studied by epistemologists interested in justification.

The paradox can be simply put. Let us imagine that one wishes to enter a local lottery along with thousands of other participants. However, it is immediately recognizable that the chance of one's ticket losing is so high that one is justified in believing that it will not win. Probability seems to confirm the justification for such a belief. Yet, it is not just one's individually purchased ticket that has such a high probability of losing, but any ticket that has been bought in a fair lottery. Furthermore, since one seems justfied in believing that each individual ticket will not win, one also seems justified in believing that the conjunction of all tickets, or that every ticket, will not win. On the other hand, one must also remember that in all lotteries there is the slight probability that a ticket will win. After all, there is always at least one winner. Following this, one does not seem justified in believing that the conjunction of all tickets, or every ticket, will not win. Therefore, one is paradoxically justified in believing that every ticket will not win, and also not justified in believing that every ticket will not win.

The Lottery Paradox was also construed slightly differently in David Lewis' "Elusive Knowledge." Let us imagine that one knows how many thousands or millions of tickets there are, and one also knows the number of losing tickets as well as the number of winning tickets, one. Under his interpretation, there are so many tickets and possibilities of losing that no matter how many tickets you know will lose, it is still not great enough to turn your justified belief into knowledge.

WINNING NOTIFICATION

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU

Kragthorpe

I recently made this post in a thread about fixed lotteries, but nobody answered. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Exactly what does it mean for a lottery to be fixed?

When a lottery puts a particular scratch-off series on sale, they already know exactly how many tickets will be sold in that series and exactly how much they'll pay out. The only mystery is who will be lucky enough to win which prizes. The same holds true for raffle games.

Now, if a lottery were to somehow control the outcomes of computer drawn or ball drawn Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5 or Jackpot games in order to achieve that same certainty about payouts, would it necessarily be wrong for them to "fix" the game in that way? Why would it be acceptable for raffles and scratchers, but not for the other games?

Just wondering....

I just thought about this Christmas song that James Brown did years ago. I haven't heard it yet this year. I'll be listening for it.

Santa Claus, Go Straight to the Ghetto

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Pitch up your reindeer. Uh!
Go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto

And every stockings you buy,
The kids are gonna love you. So, Uh!

Leave a toy for Johnny
Leave a dog for Mary
Leave something pretty for Donnie
And don't forget about Gary

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Tell him James Brown sent you. Ha!
Go straight to the ghetto.

You know that I know that you will see
Cause' that was once. Me.

Hit it! Hit it!
You see mothers and soul brothers

Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, oh lord, go straight to the ghetto
And every stockings you buy,
The kids are gonna love you

So, pick up a stocking you find
You'll know they need you
So, I'm begging you Santa Claus,
Go straight to the ghetto

If anyone wanna know,
Tell him James Brown told you

So, Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Never thought I realized, I'll be singing a song
With one of you. My!
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto.

Don't leave nothing for me
I have you
Can't you see?
Santa Claus, go straight to the ghetto
Santa Claus, the soul brothers need you

So, Santa Claus, tell him James Brown sent you...

The complete DVD collection of the Andy Griffith Show was released just last Tuesday. My set arrived today in the mail today from a very good online retailer at a very good price. I've got eight years of laid-back living in Mayberry to enjoy. What a great escape! I already have the whole Twilight Zone Collection. All I need now is the complete Leave It To Beaver series and I'll be in vintage TV heaven. Life on Elm Street is good.

I had another great musical find in a junk store today. I found an Errol Garner casette tape for only a dollar. On this recording, he covers a lot of classic standards like Stormy Weather, Moonglow, and This Can't Be Love. This is great listening from a piano master!

Wandering through a junk store yesterday, I found a great John Coltrane cassette tape. Price: fifty cents.  Enjoyment: infinite. Coltrane was a musical genius and truly a master of his instrument.
