DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007Reply
if dc lottery goes the entire month of april drawing only singles for pick 5 twice a day, and i believe they will, the probability of that happening randomly due to chance is 0.3024^60. that works out to odds of 1 in 14,624,896,128,737,864,992,086,076,360,054. that is a 32-digit number. for comparison, the number of atoms in the human body is about 7 x 10^27, which is a 28-digit number.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you're getting at. The odds of hitting the pick 5 straight is 1 in 100,000.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Yea it's kind of a catch 22. I used to play pick 5 before my state went to computer draw. And I did the same. Did not buy numbers. And my number hit. And I had a feeling it was going to come out. A very strange/strong feeling. But that's a whole other story in its self. But I guess I'll just keep playing the same numbers. If it's meant to be its meant to be at this point. It's basically my routine now. But it does kinda make me wonder if it's rigged by you saying your customer did not by a ticke

The images below are the current state for all pick 3 and pick 4 games in U.S. and Canada in relation to skip count for doubles. My pick 5 draw history has lapsed so cannot provide the current state. The first image is for Pick 3. Its still believable. The 2nd image is for Pick 4. Fairly unbelievable. At what skip count would you send a email alert to verify the software? j

The expected value cannot be changed by your selection of numbers. The expected value is a function of the paytable , which is set by the lottery, and you have zero control over it. - Tucker Black Not that you are saying this, but I've noticed something related on this forum often comes up. If we are talking about EV, shouldn't we also be talking about finding the best paytable? This morning someone posted they would choose pick 5 as their lifetime game of choice in another thread, and

Washington DC Pick 5 1 in 200 million oddsReply
I see what you're saying. ChatGPT has extremely limited analytical capability. This is yet another example of where it fails. Anyone can calculate 0.3^16. It has no value. Odds are for future unknown events. Odds have no meaning for past events. If you are trying to prove their drawings are not random, you need way more than 16 drawings for a statistical proof. Pick 5 hasn't been around long enough for that amount of data. After 100 years of drawings then you can do statistical tests.
