Changes in Mega MillionsReply
I didn't vote because I don't think the game will be changed any time soon, if ever. The states in MM are making money. They certainly want more profits, but they are smart enough to know that changing the game matrix often in attempt to build jackpots to a certain level is risky. I read the Texas lottery commission meeting minutes and they believe, and I agree, that players are more apt to spend their money on scratch tickets than take a chance on a lottery game they aren't likely to wi

Oklahoma lottery winners not in a hurry to claim prizesNews Story
Oklahoma retailers have sold winning lottery tickets totaling nearly $110 million, but ten winners have yet to claim more than $102 million in prizes. News on 6 anchor Tami Marler explains why they might be waiting to come forward. You're 33 times more likely to be killed by a bolt of lightening than win a Powerball jackpot, but just five months into Oklahoma's participation in the 31-state lottery, a Broken Arrow Quik Trip sold a winning ticket worth $101.8-million. It's not Oklahom

If ....all six winning numbers are in your pool of 15-18 numbers then you have 55-65 chances to match 1of6 winning combinations of 5 in the winning combination if your abbreviated wheel contains all the possible combinations of 5's. That could be wrong, I was looking at the information below and guesstimating. There's a LP member that post in the Math Forum that has a website with all kinds of probability tables that might be helpful. possible combination of 6 in 15 numbers is 5005 M

Thoth: I admire your approach. Those pick 3 and pick 4 draws are a piece of the puzzle I haven't studied, but they seem to me to be a lot more complex than the double digit draws. The repetitions and patterns within the overall lottery-pool are more compelling in some ways than they are for the larger draws. Maybe the million-to-infinite digit sequence to the right of the decimal in Pi is the answer to the puzzle, as you suggest. I certainly believe you're correct in your premise that ex

Take time for instance, we know that time exists and passes but as to what reference? Time to us is no more than a point of reference created by man ba

No delusion-100% winning methodReply
Ah Bolade, Thank you for testing that, as all my testing as been by hand, and somtimes inefficient. Yes I will post the Pick 4 D string, and your right in your assumption that it would create every possible DSUM expression from the previous draw. I will do it sometime today. Its a monster though, but considering the possible combos its just as manageable as DSUM for pick 3. In essence, with Pick 4 you will have just 2, 320 combos. This is before taking out the duplicates.
