Yeah, I knew this would be posted here. I love numb3rs and seeing an episode dealing with the lottery was well overdue. Though I have to admit, I got a little annoyed at Charlie with his anti lottery rhetoric, but his dad got him good

What was meant by mathematicians understanding the numbers and spoiling it for you is the odds of winning a jackpot game are astronomical, that being the case the more you delve into the mathematics of the lottery it's less likely you'll be concerned with winning the lottery as it's an impossible task to predict randomness.

And unless someone has a Pumpi super computer with unlimited amount of ram and has written a program to predict random numbers well you know the rest...... see Pumpi's blo... [ More ]

I think he was talking about futility but Yogi himself couldn't have outdone you on what you said about spoiling it

One thing was very interesting, the FBI agents' brother, the mathematician said, Lottery is a game of numbers. When you really ubnderstand the numbers it spoils it for you.

May be he meant, once you really understand the numbers it spoils it for others because others don't like to see others win easily.

Maybe one the LP member who have studied the numbers of a particular lottery and had some nice wins could write a story of their experience and send it in to Numb3r for consideration. Mayb... [ More ]

I wish they would do a program about the probability of hittimng a jackpot but lasy noght NUMB3RS was about a team that was stealing scratchers so they could decode the serial numbers that had big winning tickets.

The one they were really after was the $5 million winner.

No way to know if it's accurate, but they said scratchers are 50% of the lottery's business, and they have the best odds.

One of the characters was a former jackpot winner who put on seminars for other winners. One of t... [ More ]

The CBS show called Numbers will focus on Probability related to winning jackpot games.

I know that it is a fictitious show, but then....so are some of the workouts that we use to come up with the numbers we play daily.
