Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
Discussion should take place between real people, IMHO. You might think that I'm trying to enforce my rules (whatever that is supposed to mean), but the reality is that the rules of mathematics are that a lottery drawing, which is an independent random number drawing, is totally unpredictable .

What's Your Strategy for Playing a New Draw Game?Reply
I guess the only thing special about the first drawing is that it would make a great story if you won.

What's Your Strategy for Playing a New Draw Game?Reply
if the jackpot rolls over, i wait until the jackpot is big enough to be worth my while. the probability of winning the jackpot is the same for every drawing, nothing special about the very first drawing. scratchers are different because you don't want to play a game where the top prizes have already been picked off. your state's lottery website should publish that info. smart scratchers players check the website often to see which games are still good and which are duds.

Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
It gives us an idea of what the lottery officials are looking at and checking for in the pre and post drawing tests.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I don't think it's because of the third drawing in a week. People tend to buy lottery tickets on a per-week basis, not a per-drawing basis. The reason is because both games have a 1 in 300 million chance of winning the jackpot, but one of them costs $2 and one costs $5.

Lottery Numbers Aren't Meant To Be RandomReply
Random variables have a probability distribution. What that distribution is depends on what is generating the random numbers. NBA Basketball scores are random, but not uniformly random. It could be 85, but that score is less likely than 110. Done properly, lottery numbers are uniformly distributed random numbers between a and b (e.g. 0 to 9, or 1 to 54). All outcomes have the same probability. The lottery only needs to ensure the balls are sufficiently mixed up before drawing them. I

Lottery Numbers Aren't Meant To Be RandomReply
And I learned its ran by a mechanical ball drawing machine....what LP members would call a RNG. An RNG is a computer. It stands for Random Number Generator. They test the machine 6 times to make sure the thing is working and that they don't get the same results every time. If they did, then there's probably something wrong with it. If you believe this mechanical ball drawing machine produces numbers in a predictable sequence, rather than at random, why don't you use your system to p

Have you ever played
a jackpot game ticket for someone else or for yourself and someone else and gave them their ticket before the drawing?

Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player

Just like you, I'm sure many players would think they'd make more money from extra ticket sales, but to answer your question requires me to ask you a question. That question is - WHAT extra ticket sales? Today's Florida Fantasy5 jackpots are way down. The winners prize pool contains 62% of all ticket sales for the sales period of the upcoming drawing. Single winner jackpots are now approximately $110,000 when prior to going to two draws per day they were approximately $200,000. 62% of $
