Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
Playing a 5/56 game to win $250,000 doesn't make much sense in the states with a 5/39 pick-5 with equal jackpots. The new MM odds are 4 times higher, but the payoff is 4 times higher too. We can't expect them to pay $1 million with less than 4 million to 1 odds for $1. I believe the changes were made for the player base that plays their favorite numbers on one or two tickets in every drawing regardless of the size of the jackpot. Currently there are 8 bonus that weren't drawn in the last 100

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
It's really simple enough to understand this topic and the idea is to discuss using logic and math to improve anyone's chance of winning of a jackpot. We know for a fact the logic of cutting in line was used to win a jackpot so their should be no argument against that logic winning a jackpot. Jimmy can't comprehend the difference between improving and guaranteeing chances and usually ignores it with his boring lectures. We're talking about winning multi-million jackpots where any logic and an

Middle of tweeking this system ( PROFITS- Day 180 + $4,123)
Without giving away the farm here I have been a system better for many years. Many spreadsheets, many calculation, and much headache! Im 180 days into this new systema nd I feel it's promising for sustainability. For 180 days of work its low profit. However, I think once I build up bankroll and increase my bets I can make a living. We will see I guess. I'm under 100% belief that everyday your chances once again diminish to the same starting odds. I have based my system off probabilities.

Phycisist Brian Greene and the Lottery...Reply
theres a thory that there are multiple universes out there where everything possilbe that can happen, has or will happen. so im saying if that is true there is a universe, that we all win the jackpots in, infact theres a universe where every members of LP wins a jackpot. its all possible, in this theory. all we have to do is find a way of getting to the universe we want.

Interest In Backtesting and Simulating Lottery SystemsReply
You could back test 12 numbers in a 5/39 game and find out they won several jackpots, but that doesn't prove or disprove they will win another jackpot in the near future. Or you could back test the same 12 numbers using a simulated lottery and find they never won a jackpot and that would neither prove or disprove those numbers will win a jackpot in the near future. If a system using 1 of 5 numbers repeating at a 50% rate was based on past drawing statistics, back testing only proves what is a

What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
I agree, in fact states walk a thin line when they release news about players winning multiple jackpots along with a warning that players should play responsible. They are saying players who spend a lot win more and losers who spend a lot lose more but their main mission is to increase sales and hopefully with folks who have more disposable income to waste. My response to your comments about Gail Howard was to note that while she claims to have won some money playing lotteries she never clai

What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
That was done a few years back in the Virgina lottery when it was a 6/40 games and the cash value of its jackpot exceeded the odds of winning it. The group that did it took over terminals at 3 seven/eleven stores for three days and attempted to play all the possible combinations. They were the only jackpot winners and with other smaller prizes won, they made a nice profit. After that most states changed their rules so no one person or group could control their lottery terminals more than 15 m

Statistics around the balance of even/odd and small/big numbersReply
Years ago I downloaded a free wheeling program and had lots of fun trying to filter all the possible combos in a 5/39 game down to a playable size. when I got it down to about 9000 combos and add one more filter, I'd get 0 combs and an error code saying I used conflicting filters. The lowest I ever got was about 3500 combos which is not my idea of a playable size. As for systems that actually work, a co-worker of mine keyed on three numbers and played them with ten other numbers for $5. He ha
