Do you have any idea how many times people have almost won? Almost means absolutely nothing. The numbers either match or they don't.

RJoh, thanks for the analysis. I think we can now put the suspiciously close and almost hypothese to bed once and for all.

thanks for the work RJOh , interesting facts.

if you consider playing every draws numbers in the next draw. for the PB win 90-00 would have been 104+ games a year x 7 years so over $700, plus the fact there $2 entries now, so could add another few $100 on top/ make $1000 a draw, but if you started 7 years ago you finally would have won, being no guarantee that you would win if you start today.

Excellent and unbiased analysis. Even where there were close calls if you examine the gap in years before the occurrences it would be a of nature for one to guess that a particular combo over time would re-appear 3 or 4 years later across the other game. I will stick to my current strategies for selecting my numbers.

Looking at the last 110 drawings for MM and PB

If you had repeated the last winning numbers in MM drawings only you would have matched 0+1 six times and 1+1 four times winning $14 at a cost of $110.

If you had repeated the last winning numbers in PB drawings only you would have matched 0+1 four times and 1+1 two times winning $24 at a cost of $220.

If you had repeated the last MM winning number in the next PB drawing and repeated the last PB winning number in th... [ More ]

Last winning number for MM was almost close as the winning number for Powerball.

If close counted for anything there would be thousands of winners every drawing.
