LOL, MSNBC isn't a news operation in any way, shape or form - it's just a cheerleading squad for the only president that sends thrills up their legs.

And CNN isn't much better. It's heavily slanted in favor of the left just like all of the mainstream news media.

FOX NEWS CHANNEL is the only news that gives both sides and let's you make up your own mind.

FOX even has wacko leftwing libs (like Sally Kohn) giving their side on the Commentary shows, just too keep it balanced - you'll almost... [ More ]

The lottery is not rigged. Well, that's what I believe. Everyone thinks different though.

Either watch MSNBC, CNN, or FOX NEWS. Which station do you prefer

Mytriplecrown:

I share your same concerns (and suspicions). For example, look at all those major Mega Millions and Power Ball large Jackpots over the last 7 years (Docents of jackpots from 258 390 millions each); these jackpots were won by, mostly, a single ticket. Well that is very unusual, when a little research reveals that such games (specifically Power Ball in this case) takes an estimate annual sales in excess of $20,000,000,000 (yes! 100 Billions).

SergeM,

If you want to flip a coin 1000 times and bet heads 750 of them there are plenty of people who will book your action.

Stick around here for a while and you'll realize that when threads such as this one go up what the person who started it is really saying is:

IT'S NOT FAIR, SOMEBODY WON THE JACKPOT AND IT WASN'T ME!

So in the sense of having to have something to blame it on it's always, How come it was in _ _ _ _ _ (fill in the state) and never where I live?

To Coin Toss

75% times head isn't wrong for 1000 coin flips!

We consider around 50% for likely because p(coin_side)=0.5 !

This way it could be that all winners come from just one state of the USA!

Unlikely doesn't mean rigged

Referring to the Powerball being rigged ?? Lets take a look n seeee shall we.......Well, over the last 36 months what state has won the most number of jackpot winners? That would be : FLORIDA : 4 for a total of $506 Million (we started playing Powerball in JAN 2009)

How many were in NEW YORK : 4 for a total of 443 Million

Moving onto RHODE ISLAND : 1 for a total of $336 Million

Last but not least Connecticut: 2 for a total of $279 Million

You know, when the jackpot breaches a threshold, sometimes I wonder if rich white people from NY, CT, or RI buy all possible lottery combinations to ensure they retain that exclusivity.

Shouldn't hold it against the ones of us who were lucky enough to be born in the south. And just because most of us would eat anything not moving around on our plate, and some of us would eat the moving stuff too, don't make us dummies.

You people are spending more money because 1) you got more money and, 2) you got a disportionate share of dummies who think they will win. And this all leads to 3).

You got more losers up there too

Lotteries are not rigged...when people aren't winning they always start off by saying this. This thread may be of some interest to you about per capita sales.

I believe you are in Wisconsin and from what I found on the internet your per capita sales are less than $100 a year so when you have state's where people are playing WAY more isn't it obvious they have better chances to win then a state that plays less? Just my opinion.... [ More ]

True story...

Met a guy who knew a guy, whose brother's uncle's sister's ex-boyfriend's cousin said they used nano-transmitters. The rest of the story goes.....

They know the megaplier by 9:45, so they already know which combinations will cost them the most. And the drawings, which are claimed to be held at 10:12PM, are actually held at 9:59 PM.

That way they know which balls get the slow down, speed up, waffle, bobble, and the get there first transmitters.

Apparently they have got those lotto balls programmed to jump out at just the precise moment from micro-transmitters.

How do you figure Connecticut even ranks with the amount of JP winners???.There's a good gap of time in between Jp's

according to the website..as far as JP's go...

3 winners in 1997

1 in 2005

1 in 2008

1 in 2009(Rahul Patel none the less)

1 winner in 2011

I can say though that CT seems to do well in the 4+1 and 5+0 with the powerplay departments

From the Powerbal website FAQ page:

HOW COME THE ONLY JACKPOT WINNERS ARE FROM THE [EAST - WEST - NORTH - SOUTH - CITIES - RURAL AREAS]?

HOW COME ONLY [WHITE, BLACK, TALL, SKINNY, YOUNG, OLD] PEOPLE WIN?

Powerball is a random game that knows nothing about who buys a ticket or where a ticket is purchased. There really is no white/black/old/young/rich/poor, etc.] button on the machine.

SergeM,

Playing the game isn't the hard part, Money certainly isn't thee issue... but what concerns me, is that the rarity of OTHER

STATES and PLAYERS to WIN the JACK POTS Unless you actually live in NEW YORK, Rhode Island or Connecticut. as a fact

checker will show that those areas have an overwhelming number of Recent Jack POT WINNERS, which makes me believe

that therse LOTTERIES are RIGGED.

SergeM — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:51:44 GMT

Why don't you pick an easier game without a powerball?

Try Sweet Millions, no reserve ball and no bonus ball.

If you spend a lot of money on that, you better try roulette, just one number to guess,

but leave your credit card at home
