A dollar and a dream true for PB and MM?Reply
Actually there are 3,478,761 white ball combinations. The reason why the PowerBall website lists your odds of getting 5/5 + 0 as 1 in 3,563,608.83 has to do with this statement from the PowerBall website: YOUR ODDS / PROBABILITIES ARE WRONG. A common question is why the odds for winning the prize for matching 1 red ball out of 42 is not 1 in 42. The answer is that you must match the red ball ALONE to win the prize. If you match one or more white balls, you win some other prize, but

Is it Rigged?Reply
There must be some advantage to the lottery, otherwise they wouldn't do it that way. But what the advantage is I can't really work out mathematically. Maybe having 43 second place winners in last Saturday's PB offers some insight. 25.5 million tickets were sold, so with the odds of winning the 2nd place prize at about 1 in 11.688 million 2.2 winners would have been statistically normal. I can't tell you the chance of having 43 winners, because with a limit of 20 decimal places my Open Offic

Hans The information I gave you is true and like I have tried to explain several times now, unless you can accurately predict the 9 or 12 numbers to pool, you won't do well. The odds for doing this depends on the matrix played and is easy enough to calculate. MO 6-44 9=1 in 840363.33 10=1 in 33614.53 11=1 in 15297.33 12=1 in 7639.67. Anytime you manage one of these levels then the odds for each prize match is determined by the number of lines it takes to cover all

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
It depends on what you mean by a long string of low level wins and a large jackpot. There are several ways to interpret your question, and I will give you just one based on recent events. Between April 21 and August 1 of this year, we had a string of runs in which the jackpot never passed $100M in advertised annuity value. The lengths of the runs in this period were 8 (about average) followed by below average length runs of 5, 4, 3, 6 and 4 draws. Working from my modeling program,

Hans You can use whatever you want to for system development however you should at least calculate each elements chances so that you have a general idea of the number of wins you can expect over the long haul. As I said before, trapping 4 of 6 in 9 numbers is very good given the odds are 1 in 1077.39 of doing so. Everything else is mundane to say the least regardless of what you say. If your methods for selecting the numbers from the pool are static, meaning the exact methods a

Hans The question I posed was to see if you could make the calculations. The answer is 228. That's the number of lines one would have to play to ensure a JP hit even if having 5 correct numbers in a pool of 6, the other number must come from outside the pool. The odds you post are based on a $1.00 play. The real odds for matching a 4of6 on a single line is 1 in 669.42 not 1 in 335. There are 84 possible 6 number lines that can be generated from a pool of 9. However we cannot

Predictors sets for Wed 04-09-14, I am still using DTU=3 but thinking it might be time to make a few changes. The predictor that I use here is what I call the lower predictor. Here is a brief explanation of what it does and how it works. As I said earlier in the post this predictor tries to predict the lexicographical index value of the set then converts the lexie into a set of numbers. The first step is to sum the lexie values from the last few games and find the average. The

Jimbo To make it easy lets say that we have 100 balls of which 75 are red and 25 are blue. Let me see, Hmmmm. I know that 7.5 out of every 10 attempts a red ball will be drawn and 2.5 out of every 10 will be blue. If I pick red then the odds will be 75/100 or 75% that I will match the correct color. The chance of matching both the color and value are 1/100 = 1% If I choose blue then I expect to be correct concerning color 2.5 out of every 10 attemp

Let me ask you this. Lets say that I posted 6 numbers and could guarantee that 5 of them will show in the next draw. I do not know which 5 for certain. How many lines would you need to play for the 6-44 to ensure a JP hit? In this case,I will play full combinations for a direct JP. But in a case of 9 or 12 numbers,I would choose to play my wheeling with filtered applied.I could get the best prize ratio as I could. My method is based on two times predicting correct 8 last digits fo

Jimbo, jimbo, jimbo I noticed that you had to revert to single digit games to make your point. I also see that no one wants to give you the time of day so let me help you out. I bet your mom had to tie a bone around your neck to get the dog to play with you. I did not post the little program because I did not see any interest, just like the rest of your post. Here are a few pics of the final version that I went with. First of all I removed the bonus ball option as we are dealin
