Number of winners in Mega Millions last nightReply
All but the WB 07 and MB 27 were multiples of six so maybe it was a case of a bunch of players playing some kind of number distribution pattern with gaps of 5-6 between each numbers. I couldn't find a recent event in the news with those numbers.

Ridiculous draws ?Reply
The average rate of reoccurrence for this event in our Supercash game is once every 1163.1455 draws. Supercash has been using the 6-39 matrix since 2005-10-23 and last nights drawing was the 919th draw. Seems to be relatively normal for an occurrence like that. However, I'd be on the look out for a reoccurrence like it within the next 7 days.

Sums on White Balls in PBReply
Not necessarily. If the 10 sums that occur most frequently were filtered out, 422,948 combinations would be eliminated, just over 11% of the total possibilities. On the other hand, if the 10 sums that occur least frequently were eliminated, then only 24 combinations would be filtered out. In any event this might be effective when used with other filters, but not as a standalone.

Mega Jackpot BoredomReply
That's right. A $200M jackpot used to be an event. We would make it a weekend trip to the Arizona border to buy tickets. Not anymore. But, who knows, if the PB jackpot reaches $400M maybe I'll be tempted to go on that trip, and join the fun.

Canadian Lotto 649 Jackpot Amounts!Reply
Considering how strong the Canadian Dollar is right now it's a great prize for a 6/49 game. Hopefully a winner will be not from Quebec or Ontario and the rest of Canada can get a piece. I've seen them push the prize upto 30 million for the bonus rounds but not past it. I think it will either be 30 then 4 million or 30 then 35 in the unlikely event of it rolling.

A Model for What to do with the Jackpot You just WonReply
I for one will worry about how to handle a multi-million dollars lottery jackpot after I win one. Unless I get lucky or come up with a better system for picking my numbers, it's unlikely such an event will ever effect me.

PB Challenge 8/2Reply
Too many numbers posted has happened before .... Maddog usually knocks excess numbers off the end and lets the first 15 count in the event it isn't corrected prior to draw time.

Protecting your numbersReply
I will phrase is differently then. What can someone do to increase there upside in a lotto that is a truly random sample? That would be to pick numbers that other are not likely to predict, because in the event of hittting a Jackpot, it would cut your upside.

I predict Powerball will rollReply
I think that will be more of an influence after the 200 mark. There would have to be sufficent motive for most people to travel to another state to get tickets. Megamilions may not even need outside state sales if it breaks 300 since it's such a rare event and Mega has a larger pool of potential players.

Washington jackpot #9 in world
Must mean that the other jackpots are really low if Washington made it in the top ten. I won't bother getting tickets since they switched to computer drawings. The Seahawks making it to the superbowl seems as likely an event as winning it though.
