Tonight's Quad Potential is 93.33%.

Last night's near quad was close, but not as close as 11-29 12-02.

The ~ type shows the closeness to a quad; the lower the number, the closer to a quad and 0 is a quad.

We reworked the distance ~ vector for all daily pick 0-9 digit games; might be posting later sometime.

Yep, about 93% of all Quads would have reoccurred from the last quad draw by now.

KY Floyd — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 19:36:47 GMT

It's impossible to know how many drawings it will take. All we know for certain is that there are 1000 possible outcomes, and all of them are (essentially) equally likely.

The equally likely part is one of the key points of random probability, but all that means is that no particular outcome is more or less likely than any other. IOW, we can never expect any particular result. All we can expect is that as a long term average things with a 1 in 1000 chance of happening will happen about once i... [ More ]

So, would it take more than 1000 draws for a quad to fall or less than 1000 draws with pre and post being taken into consideration or can you just ignore that because all drawings are what we believe to be random

Take the simple act of flipping a coin.

Now, we re not going to get in to the probability mathematical mumbo-jumbo or split hairs on the one sided weightiness of a coin.

Let s just focus on the simple, is it Heads or is it Tails and you ll see if this rings true.

By your calculations there's only a miniscule 1 in 1,545,105,675 chance that they wouldn't have drawn a quad in the last 8 drawings, and yet it somehow hasn't happened.

Comment #17

JADELottery — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 14:50:19 GMT

On average, a Quad should be drawn once every 1000 draws.

As of 2019-10-07, the Midday drawing is averaging about 725.9 draws the Evening is averaging 6099 draws.

If the Evening doesn't hit a Quad tonight, that's a average of 6100 draws.

The half life of a Quad hit is 693.1 draws, meaning 50% of all Quads on average should hit before 693.1 draws and 50% of all Quads should hit after 693.1 draws.

Provided, this is a truly random selection, of course.

Comment #16

Stack47 — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 10:28:37 GMT

They paid out over $3.4 million and that divided by the number of winners (1393) equals less than $2500 per ticket. That actual payout was probably $3,482,500 and somebody at the lottery simply divided that by $2500.

The drawing cost the Lottery more than $3.4 million, officials said.

Like you said, at least one player bought 16 $1 tickets and probably many more $1 tickets were sold. The total payout is obviously under $3.5 million because if it was over that they would have reported that... [ More ]

Comment #15

ancient40 — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 08:57:07 GMT

it occurred to me that if S.C. sold 1400 tickets, each ticket had to be worth $2500 selling ZERO $1 straight tickets

One winner cashed out with $80,000 after buying 16 tickets with the lucky two's combo.

80,000/16=5K

16 Tickets were sold at $5000.00 totaling $80,000. 16x5,000

16 Tickets if sold at $2500.00 @0.50 bet would be 16x2500= $40,000

16 $1.00 tickets were sold to ONE winner winning whatever the lucky two's combo is

Comment #14

Stack47 — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 04:22:32 GMT

And 1393 times $2500 equals $3,482,500. What makes that figure incredible is the fact if it's true, there were no $1 tickets sold. Lots of people play only triples and quads so there probably are more 50 cent straights sold because players buy all the trips and quads for $5. Bet someone in S.C. simply divided the total payout by $2500.

On 9/28 the midday KY Lottery drawing had 23 pick-4 winners collecting $4072 and obviously no $1 straight bets and probably no 50 cent straight bets either. T... [ More ]

grwurston — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 23:43:42 GMT

There were exactly 1,393 winners for the 2222 according to the S.C. lottery website.

For the 13 Pick 4 drawings from 10/1 thru 10/7, only 3 drawings had more then 10 straight winners. 20-16-12. No other drawing had more then 9 straight winners. Five of the drawings had 5 winners or less.

Makes 1,393 even more incredible.

Stack47 — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 22:59:28 GMT

Did you get a call to play 8888 in KY today?

Nearly 1,400 people won the South Carolina Education Lottery's Pick 4 midday drawing Saturday and SC Lottery pays out more than $3.4 million

When I read that KY sold 652 winning tickets and paid out $1,533,652 (including 1-Off tickets), it occurred to me that if S.C. sold 1400 tickets, each ticket had to be worth $2500 selling zero $1 straight tickets. Apparently someone is exaggerating how many winning tickets there actually were sold.

Comment #9

Stack47 — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 03:53:39 GMT

While quads might average once in every 1396 drawings, a quad was drawn in S.C. four times in the last three years. The only thing unique about this drawing was the payoff amount.

Here's something interesting about the SC Pick 4.

Based on the Lottery Post's Search Results, you're more likely to hit a Quad in the Midday drawing than the Evening drawing.

Since the start of the Midday Pick 4 on 2003-07-01, as of 2019-10-03, there have been 5078 drawings (Mon-Sat) with 7 Quads.

Since we Know that State lotteries hate paying out, SC officials are probably muttering under their breath darn, how did this happen? To them, money should only be flowing in one direction- theirs.

Imo the only time the lottery is glad to see a winner, is after the State coffers are overflowing, and the we fleeced them enough in this round statement follows.
