Hello!

Not sure how many of you will see this reply, but I DID hear back from MUSL regarding this issue. Here is the reply:

Of course, the terminal RNG is NOT set to generate a subset of the total combinations. I know of a case where that did happen (many years ago in one state) and there was hell to pay for the vendor. The terminals are all tested to be sure that the RNGS cover all possible combinations.

That said, one must remember that using quick pick numbers crea... [ More ]

"FRAUD! I have emailed MUSL and asked them if this is true,"

Of course they will admit to you that they are committing Fraud... LOL

Hey,

Thanks for the replies... I got some interesting comments. The most interesting is from Greg would said the Powerball computers don't have all of the numbers in the matrix involved in the quickpicks. If this is true, that is absolute FRAUD! I have emailed MUSL and asked them if this is true, so I will let you know of the answer.

Also, nobody seems to know about the Poisson's tables of repeating numbers. The people at MUSL are the ones that informed me of Mr. Poisson and his sta... [ More ]

To correct any misconception of my previous post, around the 40% mark there is an even chance that duplicate sets of numbers have already been drawn, not simply on just the next drawing.

I haven't done a probability table on the new Powerball matrix, but my past calculations on these charts in this large a pool have indicated that just around the 40% area of total possibilities there is an even chance that a set of numbers generated by a random number generator will be exactly the same as one of the previous sets of numbers. In the Powerball 5/55+1/42 matrix there are 146,107,962 possibilities, so, without doing the actual chart, around the 58,443,185th random number generation... [ More ]

Well, it's a known fact that the computer that generates quickpicks is set to only generate a certain PERCENTAGE of all the combinations possible. So the quickpick you buy today might be the quickpick someone else bought two days ago in another state.

If you research the history of winning numbers of the PowerRip or MegaRip, esp. those who picked all five numbers correctly (but not the mega/power ball), notice how many of those had the same exact five numbers!

I don't play the Power/MegaR... [ More ]

Hello,

Are there any math geniuses out there that can help me out with some lottery statistics/calculations. My question is this: If the Powerball Lottery was to have sales of $100M for a particular drawing, what would the percentage of repeating numbers be? In other words, how many of the Powerball tickets would have the same set of numbers? I know you are supposed to use Dr. Poisson's tables of repeating numbers to calculate this, but I can't seem to locate them. Does anybody know how... [ More ]
