New Jersey couple wins $3 million lottery prize six months after winning $1 millionReply
A husband-and-wife team defied insurmountable odds 0 Apparently the odds were completely surmountable. That's not how probabilities are calculated at all. That's exactly how odds are calculated. For instance, the odds of someone winning both PB MM jackpot would be 1 in 292M*290M. That's the odds of winning both games if you buy only a single ticket for each game. If you buy 10 tickets for each game the probability of winning either is increased tenfold to 1 in 29.2 and 1 i

Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
When all four digits are even for two drawings, there are only five digits they could be I don't know how hard he worked to cherry pick those particular results, but it doesn't matter that they happen to be all even. The odds of any particular drawing being all even (or odd) digits is only 1 in 625 instead of the 1 in 10,000 chance when selecting from all 10 digits, but once you choose any specific 4 digit result the chances of a result with those same 4 digits isn't affected by which 4 dig

Virginia: 6/1 - 6/30/2025Reply
It's been 558 draws since a trips was drawn. What are the odds? About 1 in 273. The odds are edging up slowly still but soon the math will start to get weird because of the exponent in the odds calculation like this: overall odds of not hitting = odds of not hitting each draw number of draws

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I will not play Mega Millions until the lower tier prizes are commensurate with the odds and the ticket price. For example, that means that the pre-Megaplier prize for matching 4 numbers (odds 1 in 38,860) needs to be about $97,150 (38,860 X $5 ticket price X .5) to get me interested. The pre-Megaplier prize is $500, which is also the typical prize for the 3-ball, whose odds are 1 in 1000. Otherwise, take the prize for matching three numbers plus the Mega Ball. The odds of matching that

Never did this beforeReply
1) In what alternative universe do you live where 1,221,759 divided by 5 is 38,719? It's the alternate universe where your odds are inversely proportional to (the number of tickets you bought) ^2. When you say each time you double the number of tickets you buy you cut the odds in half he somehow hears each time you buy another ticket you cut the odds in half. I've cut ther odds of 1,221,759 down to 38,719 so surely I can expect to win somethnig tonight, no? I guess that in that un

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I would be shocked if a casino sold books about gambling with any truth in them. They need people to make bad bets. I didn't say each additional ticket cuts the odds in half. I said the odds of you winning is (odds of one ticket winning) divided by (number of tickets). Use my pick 2 example. What are the odds of me winning if I buy 2 tickets? How about 5 tickets?

would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
In Las Vegas every time a 'knowledge' player would approach a table with a note book and a pencil would approach a table old time bosses would say, Oh here we go, another genius from Providence . You sound like one. While one player on a crap table is winning a lot betting on the hard ways and horn bets they'll be another one on the table telling other players what bad bets the prop player is making. So much for a math degree with an emphasis on probabilities. Your thinking that four shooters on
