9/26 Powerball statistical anomolyReply
https://www.lotterypost.com/news/163572 According to the above article, a lot of players got their numbers from the TLC Network's broadcast of How the Lottery Changed My Life after the show announced what it believed were the most frequently drawn lotto numbers,8-25-31-50-44-54. A similar thing happened last year when a lot of players got their numbers from fortune cookies which all had the same message. In that case there were more than 120 match5 winners and the PB lottery did an inve

Lottery mathematics
i found this the other day. it's way over my head. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article discusses the way to calculate various probabilities in a lottery game in which one selects 6 numbers from 49, and hopes that as many of those 6 as possible match the 6 that are randomly selected from the same pool of 49 numbers in the draw . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics

Revealed: How to WinReply
Not really. Read the entire article. It was not random. They determined the number sets. At the same time, It was not a system that won. That same system gave 4 years of failure. It was a choose-a number (set of numbers)-and-stick with it method.

Revealed: How to Win
A group of university professors and maths experts has revealed the secret of their ?5.2m lottery win. The 17-member syndicate had tried - and failed - for years to land a large sum. Like many people, each member chose their own line of numbers and then waited with crossed their fingers. But they decided to use their brains and came up with a winning scheme. The rest of the article is contained in the link. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/25102006/140/revealed-win-lottery.html

The Math and The LotteryReply
Interesting article. lottery officials are as hip to bias as the wiseguys who write computer programs. They know if their drawings do show bias, the betting public will eventually discover it and start betting heavily on the hot numbers. That means more winners dividing up every pot, lower average payouts, and less interest (and fewer bets) on the part of gamblers. So the people in charge do all in their power to ensure that the winning numbers are as random as human ingenuity can make them.One

Only Odd NumbersReply

Pretty frequent.Has anybody checked a dra

Revealed: How to WinReply
Let's take a closer look at what they did. This is my understanding based on the UK article. In case any one wants to try it! The Lottery is a 6/49 number lottery. The syndicate has 17 persons. They need 17 tickets. Here is how they generated the 17 tickets PHASE I 1. They put the 49 numbers on slips of paper. 2. Each person dipped and selected 6 pieces of paper-six numbers. Note: 6*8=48...so only eight persons can select from this pool...and each subsequent pewrson who dips

Markov Chain and Neural Network for lottery numbersReply
I know what Markov chains are, but I don't know anything about Stoopendaal's program that he named Markov Chain. As a rule, I don't download programs from users I don't know who never log in. Markov chain analysis cannot shed any light on random processes like lotteries, so I doubt this program is any better than a random number picker, regardless of whatever name the creator gave it. But again, the cult of Stoopendaal has its view on the matter. This tutorial on Markov chain is much bet

Wave pattern analysis and lottery draw historiesReply
This post is not meant to disrespect CARBOB. It's understandable why he mentioned Benford's Law when he did, by reference. However, given what research has revealed about Benford's Law applied to lottery draws, I think it is important to point out that Benford's Law does NOT correlate with lottery results! I'm surprised you would not have clicked back on this and included a mention of it in your reply to CARBOB. In case the caption above is too faded to read on your monitor, it re

Determinism vs Randomness and ChanceReply
He and his 2 friends have hijacked the Topic. Speaking of hijacking topics. https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/226890 Why did you feel it was necessary before discussing what does it take to win (mathematically speaking)? that future posters read a boring article that never came close to answering the question your topic suggested? I have to give you credit, Jimmy; it's not easy to go completely go off topic in your first post and hijack the thread you started.
