Wisconsin man repeats same feat of winning multiple lottery jackpots

I don't believe in any algorithm for solving the problem on how to win the lottery. The odds are always the same. The odds on winning the Powerball game is 175 million to one. No one can make some mathematical equation on to some computer and somehow come up with the winning numbers to win on the lottery. Nonsense

Must not work very often, twice in around eight years for a daily game. I would say that they

have changed the RNG's code at least a couple times between the wins. The odds are the same

each time we play and winning one JP does not increase or decrease your odds of ever winning

another.

The way he calculates which lines to play is perhaps patentable.

If you got a high enough IQ perhaps you can find out the calculation if you compare his 2008 win and the 2015 win.

Those would be the odds for somebody who owns one set of lines on a ticket they shared with somebody else. For all of the normal people who buy a ticket of their own the odds for each play are 1 in 1.63 million.

Those might be the odds against for someone who never won, but the odds for somebody who won a jackpot is 3,262,623 to 1.

The Adamson equation with six variables(?) to work with sounds like a real mind bender, but it proved him right in his mathematical genius.

Quadrillion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quadrillion may mean either of the two numbers (see long and short scales for more detail):

1,000,000,000,000,000 (one thousand million million; SI prefix peta-) for all short scale countries (U.S.)

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (one million million million million; SI prefix: yotta-) for all long scale countries (U.K.)

The odds of matching 6 in a 6/39 game are 1:3,262,623

The odds of matching 6 in a 6/39 game twice are 1:3,... [ More ]

He already won in the past, just like hundreds or thousands of other players in the almost 24 year history of the game. His odds of winning again are 1 in 1.63 million, just like it is for the hundreds or thousands of other players who won in the past, every time he buys a ticket. Since it's a daily game there's a very good chance he's played it almost every one of the 2340 or so days since his first win. If he only played one combination on each of those days his odds of winning again would be... [ More ]

Sorry, something smells here; the odds of him winning twice are quadrillions to one.

Are those odds of quadrillions to one an actual calculation of just a figure you made up

Oh I see, that is what I thought, I took the bait and you trolled me on purpose. Maybe you should read my other replies in this topic, instead of bringing crap up from another game I comment on. Badger 5 and supercash are completely different. Too bad you california people can't tell the difference.

Supercash is a fixed jackpot.

user71926 — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 07:29:31 GMT

Agreed! Or possibly he's one of those strange folks who figured they will win for sure but wants certain stores to gain from the win as well just in case. This may sound funny, but I choose certain favorite groceries stores to purchase my tickets when I'm at a winning hunch. But, Wow wow... second time Wi SuperCash won by some formulas?! Punching in my numbers now

Seattlejohn — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 07:06:12 GMT

Sorry, something smells here; the odds of him winning twice are quadrillions to one. If he's playing a wheeling system, he can slightly improve his odds... but there's no algorithm that can improve his odds as much as he's intimating. Time for an investigation...

If his wife hadn't said she played the same set of number for years when they won on four tickets in 2008, I might believe there was a system, but while winning twice in 6 1/2 years is extraordinary, I don't see any change the matrix system.

Have no idea of how many players overall do it, but I do know some that play the same numbers multiple times in small and large jackpot games. Winning the jackpots is another story.

Comment #24

Stack47 — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 02:54:28 GMT

The guy said he was going to patent his algorithm when he and his wife both had two winning tickets in the same drawing in 2008. The thing is, his wife said then, she had played the same set of numbers for years. With 1,631,312 possible combinations, 6 1/2 years in between wins, and no idea how much he spent on each drawing, I'm betting he got very lucky.

Turbo996 — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 02:32:16 GMT

I look upon the announcement there is something patentable about this guy winning the lottery as some kind of prelude to him selling a how to get rich playing the lottery book or some kind of playing package/kit that will be advertised on late night paid programming TV until the end of time.

Kind of like someone claims to have discovered the way to make a fortune in say flipping houses (buying penny stocks, etc.) and offers to sell you the secret even provide financing all I'm sure at a hefty... [ More ]

RJOh — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 01:34:19 GMT

Even if this guy had a patent on his algorithm, it wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on. No one can keep others from playing a set of combinations with a patent.

Companies like G-tech and others have studied lotteries for a long time and know that certain patterns repeat but short of playing every possible combination no one can guarantee the out come of a random drawing and trying to do so is a gamble that is more likely to be lost with payouts calculated to do just that. It's seld... [ More ]

Kola — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 01:07:31 GMT

I agree.

I just wish that his lawyer(and he) didn't have to broadcast that it was a mathematical algorithm. They could have quietly gone about the business of getting their patent. This way you don't give lottery officials even the slightest incentive to change the matrix of the game. Then again, maybe it's okay to broadcast it, especially because officials may not believe such formulas truly exist.

Comment #20

RJOh — Fri, 06 Feb 2015 00:24:34 GMT

He probably was playing more than just a few combinations. If you were playing a hundred combinations or more, would you play them three times at the same place? Beside if you have no personal interest in a particular retail store why not spread the wealth around when you win.

Comment #19

Artist77 — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 23:36:19 GMT

Why did he play the same numbers in 3 locations vs 3 tickets at one location

Comment #18

Artist77 — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 23:35:10 GMT

I agree with others that if I had a formula/algorithm, I would make certain some family and friends also won as well. The lottery will make some odd change now.

There are two winners on the VA website who won VA cash 5 ($ 100,000) and then played the same numbers again for a year or two and the same numbers won again and so did they. I wonder how unusual this is statistics wise

Clever trick on his part buying three separate tickets. That must be one awesome equation.

Even when everyone playing the Massachusetts Windfall game knew of its flaws most couldn't afford to gamble the amount needed to take advantage of them. I suspect the same may be true in this case. Nothing was mentioned about the amount of money Adamson spent on tickets. In spite of winning multiple jackpots he might be doing good to just break even.

How do you keep track of what's being played? The website only post what's being drawn.

Also there is a big difference in odds of a 6/39 game and 5/75+1/15 and 5/59+1/35 games.

pickone4me — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 18:01:18 GMT

Actually I followed that game for a while, keeping track of what was and wasn't being played. But I haven't been keeping up with it. Keep in mind, this is a computerized draw, the big MM and PB are not.

Comment #11

RJOh — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 17:59:04 GMT

Now that someone who has actually won several jackpots says there is a formula for picking winning combinations the theory has some creditability and there will be others like you trying to do the same thing.

RJOh — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 17:40:32 GMT

Adamson's attorney said in a statement that a mathematical equation was used to pick the numbers, and they are exploring patent protection for the trade secret.

A lot of good that's going to do, once it's patented do he really think he will be the only one allowed to play the game that way? Or that the state won't change or eliminate the game?

If this is another situation like Massachusetts had with its Windfall game then he would be better off doing like the Michigan couple who took adva... [ More ]

SuperCash! is rigged for southern Wisconsin. Southern Wisconsin always wins!

The Wisconsin lottery uses computerized lottery terminals, if no winning ticket is sold in southern Wisconsin, they let the jackpot roll again.

Comment #5

MommieDearest — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 16:43:22 GMT

This just reaffirms for me that these games cannot be completely random. You've got a mathematician in Tx

that breaks the games and wins several jackpots in just 5 years. Another man in Canada that breaks the

jackpot several times in 5 years again (all drawing games).

Especially with computerized games, it simply cannot be 100% random. So now it's just a matter of cracking

it like this guy did. I'm happy for the guy personally, just wish I could do the same. lol

Two plays for a buck, that's unheard of these days. And not the dreaded para-mutuel as well? The cat is out of the bag on this one and Wisconsin will probably re-evaluate and 'change the matrix'; in other words, figure out a way to rip-off the lottery player.

Comment #1

rcbbuckeye — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 13:58:11 GMT

Sometimes I play All or Nothing like this to win $500,000 instead of $250,000. It's expensive at $2 a ticket.

Supercash is 2 plays for a buck. That's a bargain for $350,000 that's not parimutuel.

Wisconsin man repeats same feat of winning multiple lottery jackpots

Lottery Post — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 13:39:01 GMT

By Todd Northrop

Last week, the Wisconsin Lottery announced that three SuperCash! winning tickets had been sold in Dane County.

Amazingly, all three winning lottery tickets were purchased by the same person from three different stores.

But the real jaw-dropping part? He's done this before.

Verlyn Adamson of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, is the lucky winner of all three top prizes from the Monday, January 26 SuperCash! daily lotto game. His winning tickets matched all six numbers of 3, 10,... [ More ]
