I voted 90% because of the 90/10 rule that rules any other rule...I win 100% and give at a minimum 10% to God and I'll easily be able to live and bless others with the remaining 90%. Actually, as to what you really were getting at...I no longer obsess over the lottery, but I do make sure that I have a play for EVERY PB and MM drawing. It has been said in my organization that just by showing up you beat 50% of all the others...so by me having a draw in for every drawing, I know I have the pote... [ More ]

Oh, no! I forgot to play my numbers tonight.

But honey, it's our wedding night.

Okay. Is there a convenient store on the way to the chapel?

Me too, let's go get them in before the drawing

In the lottery, the percentage is a heck of a lot lower than 20%! It's a small fraction of 1%. I mean, if you add up all the PB tickets and then pick 1 winner out of millions....well. Even in a small jackpot game like Fantasy-5, which often has multiple winners, if only 500,000 tickets are sold that day, 1/2 of 1% would be 2,500 winners, instead of 1 or 2. I don't have enough zeros on my calculator! LOL Let's see 3 : 500,000 = .000006

I don't think Pac was asking that question any... [ More ]

There's even books a out it now, but basically it goes something like this:

In any given sales organization, 20% of the people bring in 80% of the income

The top 20% of the people make 80% of the money

In any given apartment complex with a pool, 20% of the residents use the pool 80% of the time...

It appllies in all fields, it's incredible.

I'd even venture to say that on discussion boards 20% of the members make 80% of the posts....

This is from the first hit on Yahoo, it's a... [ More ]

10% means that you don't really care if you win, and just play for fun. But do hope that you do hit the JP.

And 100% means just that. You evaporate brain cells while you try to figure out how to beat the odds, and that you have no doubt that you will win eventually. And I mean for sure.....

There is no right answer. Just a demographics survey of the lovely people here on the LP. I would also ask the shy who normally wouldn't respond to polls, to make an effort for this. More data, the bett... [ More ]
