The games are rigged. Just like the Trade Centers, Building 7, Moon Landing, CIA/JFK conspiracies, some things are never to be spoken of or brought into light.

I firmly and truly believe these pick 5/36, 6/49 lotteries are controlled by a supreme super computer that controls all numbers and terminals. Of course, when all possible combinations are sold - a winner naturally (and randomly) has to be picked. There is no other logic, especially with Florida Lucky Four and Fantasy 5 lotteries...

On the LP predictions board there was one member, worldwide-play, who matched the Cash 5 numbers for 7/8/2014 3 times. Too bad he didn't play actual tickets.

(1- 2- 3- 4- 5 PB 6), has the same probability of hitting as last draws numbers for 07/05/14 (24- 34 -36- 57- 58 PB 11). Nothing changes. By the way I'm amazed how many people play these types of numbers, don't they realize this will not benefit them. The payouts would be very slim. You'll have thousands of players splitting jackpot. Even matching (5+0) which payouts out a $1 million, would be fixed amount. Far less than the advertised $1 million. You'll be lucky if you get $10,000 for matching... [ More ]

Not long after the Texas Lotto kicked off, one of the Amarillo TV stations had a segment about that very thing on the news and interviewed a mathematics professor at WTA M in Canyon who said that combination had the exact same chance of winning as any other set of numbers...except that the Texas pick six lottery doesn't have a multiplier ball.

It would be worse for the lottery game if 500 people got the 5 white balls correct instead of 500 getting all 6 numbers correct. They'd have to dip into their reserves to payout the capped winning value for 500 one million dollar winners, each of whom would get less than 100% of a million, while the jackpot amount would just be split 500 ways.

With all the pre tests they do, do you not think they might decide that it's a malfunction of the drawing machine and do another draw? They are allowed to do as many pre tests as they need to, right? On Mass Lottery website it says the process for the draw lasts 2 hours from start to finish . Hopefully one day we will get to see the whole process on video.

Many, many years ago the NY lottery ran adds telling people to stop playing obvious patterns from the bet slip. The most popular combinations being played for lotto at that time were the ones from marking the two diagonals starting at the top left and top right on the bet slip. IIRC, each of them was being consistently played on close to 10,000 tickets. I'm pretty sure that an official with either MM or PB has gone on record saying that those are the most popular combinations for that game, thou... [ More ]

If my memory serves me right, twice maybe more I believe in the Florida Fantasy Five. The odds are about 376,000 to 1, and that's why it's happened. In bigger games like PB, it'll take much much longer to occur.

In smaller odds game like p-3 and p-4, it happens all the time.

Hard to believe. Just like many play triples in Pick 3, quads in Pick 4.

In Texas our All or Nothing game has 24 numbers, in which a player chooses 12. In any given draw, a couple hundred players will play all even or all odd numbers, the first 12 or last 12.

So, I imagine there are many, many people around the country that play 1-6 on PB and or MM, and their state lotto games.

Onlymoney gave you 1 star because he's a ten year old who thinks he's funny.

1-2-3-4-5-6 is one of millions of combinations that have as much chance as any other combination.

I would never play a combo like that, not because I don't think it could or would show, but rather because a LOT of people play that combo, and I'm not interested in splitting a jackpot with a couple hundred people.

I think you asked a good question.

Why would it be fishy? 1-2-3-4-5 PB:6 has the same chance as every other combination. I never understood the ignorance in that department.

Look at it this way, the last PB winning numbers were 05-06-37-41-54, PB: 26. How much time do you think will pass before that exact combo will show again? A very very long time. Of course those combos above can come in the next draw because they have the same chance of showing, but it's very highly unlikely. The time for 1-2-3-4-5, PB:6 just hasn't come y... [ More ]

In a Powerball matrix of 5/59 1/35, do you think any of the potential 175,223,510 number combinations have an equal chance to be picked? Or would there be a combination drawn that would make you think something was fishy?

1-2-3-4-5 PB 6 is just one example of a strange combination. What if 55-56-57-58-59 PB 35 was picked. Would that raise any red flags with anyone
