I'd really like to know what the Bill Gates, Carlos Slim and Warren Buffet did to have to live in this hell. Earth may be hell for some people but it is heaven to others, all depends on what side of the money you're on. Just look at those living in Hollywood compared to those living in Zimbabwe, Ethiopia or Botswana.

But back to the dream of having $100 million and dealing with the ladies... I think I could do pretty well. Part of the reason I want to win big is so that I can have t... [ More ]

Hopefully, your description of several more ingenous ways beyond the one I warned about that IT people could rip off the lottery will add support to the efforts underway to eliminate computerized draws. The possibility that someone could design software for their employer that is vulnerable to virus attacks, and then attack it, is reason enough to shut down all computer drawings. Amazing

I occasionally take prolonged breaks from reading lotterypost and I believe your fool by randomness thread was just prior to my return. For all practical purposes, what the lotteries do with their RNG is obviously enough, they rake in the money and people keep playing. That's not to say that there isn't any flaws with their RNG's, there almost certainly is. Of course, with the exception of Keno, chances are the software isn't in the same RNG sequence from draw to draw so there's very little samp... [ More ]

jwhou,

So where were you when I needed you during my pummeling in my Fooled By Randomness thread in Lottery Systems? Your post above and its immediate predecessor provide enough insight [for me] to feel even more secure in my belief that most lottery machines and algorithms are sufficiently random for their assigned task. I too have worked with several types of RNGs while doing OS simulations and some not too critical database encryptions. I found the basic linear conguential generator invalu... [ More ]

Interesting.

You may not be aware of it but reducing the numbers down to even or odd is essentially the mathematical operation modulus (represented by the % symbol), basically you're taking the modulus 2 of the number (though a modulus 2 would render even numbers to be 0 and odd numbers to be 1). By taking the modulus 2 of three numbers to come up with three binary values, you're classifying them to 8 possibilities, by summing them, you are classifying them into four categories, two of which...

That's just it....there is no need to apply theorems as there is no mathematical solution needed or required. Just using simple Basic Math ideas and common sense. Over a period of time and education some people have a problem reverting to basic math and their concepts.

Alpha Patterns is nothing nore the letter tracking . E for Even and O for Odd. I use my Pick 3 software and assign 1 to Odd and 2 to Even. For instance last night the 1st three numbers that played were 4-18-25. This equates to... [ More ]

This is truly fascinating.

Yes, I don't understand the rationale behind your concepts but that doesn't mean they are not of interest to me. Let's look at the simplest and I would say thereby most difficult to develop a rationale for and that is the bonus ball. It's a single draw from a pool of numbers. There's very little sample size for any meaningful statistics (that can be said about lotteries in general) and the only possible source of bias would be the sensitivity to boundary conditions...

To answer your question.....yes the combination that played was among the 296 as was the combination that played tonight out of 20 possible combinations generated once I knew the kind of game that would probably appear. I don't filter out number sets either I don't need to go back more then 31 games to figure out what is about to happen. Anything beyond that is not necessary.

Yes, there was physical reason for believing numbers above 28 would not play. Simple fact, determination there was hig... [ More ]

jwhou — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:48:56 GMT

The arguments for filtering tend to be rather vague as to causality. i.e.: any particular physical reason for believing numbers above 28 won't play? or why would the first number be odd? Why would the bonus ball involve digits 0-1-2 or 3?

People tend to filter out number sets that had already been drawn on the theory that once drawn it's unlikely to be drawn again. Well did you know that in the 2,734 draws since 1982 in Canada's Lotto 6/49, 18 number sets had been drawn twice each?

Was slightly off on the Two Step tonight but still in the ballpark. Really thought a small Odd would be first number. Played 3 and 5......4 played :( Played 12-18 and 17 for Teens and 18 played. Then played 27 for 20's and 25 played. Then dropped to 30's where used 32 and 31 played :(

Had cut the Bonus Balls down to 11 possibles with digits 0-1-2 or 3 involved. Bonus Ball was 2 My favorites were 1-10 and 20. 20 Sum Totals 2

Big difference between your generator and mine is that mind is a Controlled generator. I set filters and it only generates specific type of combinations. When I pick numbers I am looking for something very specific. Comes from looking at the past 31 draws and being able to eliminate certain numbers from play.

Tonight I don't think anything above 28 will play. First number will be Odd. Bonus Ball will involve digits 0-1-2 or 3 which would eliminate 20 numbers.

I calculated that if I bought five lines a draw in the Texas Two Step, the median time to win a jackpot would've been 2,400 years.

I also had a random number generator that was structured so that a minimum of the lines you bought in a given draw overlapped hence giving you the maximum chance at the small prize that your money could buy, it also did MegaMillions, PowerBall and numerous others. Interesting thing is that though it was very random if you told it to generate a thousand numbers, it... [ More ]

That's when you set up a trust to be the beneficiary of the first trust. If that fails then you have a bearer bond trust in the Caribbean be the beneficiary, they would have to find who physically has those bonds first to identify the beneficiaries.

Problem with pre-nups is that they're not always enforceable.

What a down payment on the national debt?

When the Spanairds brought back all that gold from South America, the bottom fell out of the gold market and they didn't make nearly as much per trip as they had promised the investors.

You don't want to be bringing all that iron, nickel, cobalt and platinum back to Earth. But you do want to build space habitats with them and have the people come out to the habitats. It's all about real estate.

Your state doesn't accept Blind Trust? This is where you go into an agreement with an Attorney as to what they can/cannot do, stipulate the Trust can be canceled at any time of your choosing, they collect the money for you and nobody ever knows who won. At least that is what I am told.

And, speaking from a Woman's point of view......I would rather be Financially Independent then to rely on any man. When I win Im going to loose 200 lbs real fast as there will soon be an EX .

I can fund the space program, quite easily with the lottery. I need only fund one of NASA's satellites to Asteroid 3554 Amun.

$100,000,000 is mere chump change to NASA.

Some say this planet is another planet's hell, or perhaps hell for the universe.

Others say it's the insane asylum for the universe.

I actually like to flirt, absolutely did not do it while I was married (the ex was so weird that she was upset enough to equate going to Hooters as cheating)

.....Flash a smile, let the eyes smile a little....

The funny thing is whenever we go out, my 7 year old puts out the charm and does the flirting for me.....In fact he said to me, You need to marry a hot nurse....she can take care of me when I get sick or get hurt better than mom can......besides you were already married to a clown
