1. The foolproof formula

I finally found a guaranteed way to win the lottery.

Step 1: Buy every ticket.

Step 2: Go bankrupt.

Math checks out.

2. Probability explained

What are your chances of winning the lottery?

Practically zero.

But don t worry they re the same for everyone.

3. The mathematician s strategy

An engineer says: I have a system.

A physicist says: I have a model.

A mathematician says:

I have a proof it s not worth playing.

4. Hot numbers

These numbers are overdue!

Probability says:

They don t know that.

5. AI prediction

I trained an AI on every lottery draw ever.

It predicted

random numbers.

6. Expected value

The expected value of a lottery ticket is negative.

Which is math s polite way of saying:

You re donating money.

7. Markov chain lottery

Current state: lost the lottery.

Next state (high probability):

lost again.

8. Advanced strategy

I use Fibonacci, prime numbers, and astrology.

Math replies:

Cool. Show me the odds.

9. The honest formula

Lottery formula:

Hope Math

10. American dream edition

The lottery is proof that Americans believe in:

freedom, randomness, and extremely bad expected... [ More ]
