I agree with LANTERN, if you're winning more than your tickets cost then it's a good thing. If you're not buying any tickets then you're just having a good dream.Good luck.

Hi paurths, for reference, have a look here.Assume we pick 20 numbers each time. Based on this analysis, we have a=6, b=42, n=20bCa=42C6=5245786m=0 hits in 706 draws -> [ 20C0 * (42-20)C(6-0) / bCa ] * 706 = 10 timesm=1 hits in 706 draws -> [ 20C1 * (42-20)C(6-1) / bCa ] * 706 = 70.8 timesm=2 hits in 706 draws -> [ 20C2 * (42-20)C(6-2) / bCa ] * 706 = 187 timesm=3 hits in 706 draws -> [ 20C3 * (42-20)C(6-3) / bCa ] * 706 = 236.27 timesm=4 hits in 706 draws -> [ 20C4 * (42-20)C(6-4) / bCa ] * 706...

True, very true.But look at it this way;Let a person (or several persons) pick per drawing 14 to 24 numbers.This repeated for 706 drawings.The question is, will they match the averages i showed? Will they exceed them or will they stay below?Tested on 706 drawings;0 numbers correct : 4 times1 number correct : 43 times2 numbers correct : 84 times3 numbers correct : 192 times4 numbers correct : 178 times5 numbers correct : 138 timesAll 6 correct : 49 timesAll 7 (with powerball) : 18 times.

Only way to know would be to compute total ammount won minus total cost of tickets.Is there a profit in the end ? How much ? And in what lenght of playing time ?Good luck.
