Probability of Winning the Powerball JackpotReply
KY Floyd, Your post explains that buying 60 tickets for 1 draw is slightly better than buying 1 ticket in each of 60 draws. Some have interpreted your explanation to mean buying extra tickets does not change the odds of winning. I am asking you and anyone else that wishes to contribute, an answer to the following question. First, an introduction to the question. There are at least two ways of expressing the probability of an event occurring. The probability can be expressed

Probability of Winning the Powerball Jackpot
There are at least two ways of expressing the probability of an event occurring. The probability can be expressed as a percentage from 0% (impossible for the event to occur) all the way to 100% (the event is guaranteed to occur). The probability can also be expressed as 1 in X where X is a number from 1 (the event is guaranteed to occur) to infinity (impossible for the event to occur). Using the second method of expressing probabilities, the following are the probabilities of winn

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occuri.e. how likely they are to happen, I respectfully disagree with that Statement...and here's why... A chance is an intangible characteristics associated with the event being measured... If you're able to predict the chance, that's also predicting the event... the murky conveyance is total certainty ... Certainty in your Statement presumably alludes to positive fruition ,

Predictions from a sequenceReply
Sorry for the delay in responding. Being Grampy to 3 beautiful little girls is just more important. I am updating the sequence together with it's cousins to try to go a little further down Prediction Road. The sequence posted so far was derived as follows: The basic concept was to separate the numbers into 2 groups and track the hits from each group on every draw. Sound a lot like Strings? . My system is based on 4_Strings and The type of Draw (S,D,DD,T,Q). Strings have the two gro

A dollar and a dream true for PB and MM?Reply
The tix you purchased are all in play at the same time, pretend you don't know anything and read this: Lets try another way of looking at this discussion of odds, it hasn't popped up in a while so I will attempt another way to look at this topic. This is what JX, Raven and the Pac are saying and I agree. It is more of a set theory perspective than say: odds or fractions: it is much simpler. I am sure we all agree that each draw is ONE event, the event (Mega r

Lottery Prediction by Recurrence AnalysisReply
Carbob: I have a couple of questions. If I input my draws, 1-500, new to old and I predict from 501-510. Are the numbers I get are they for draws 501 thru 510, or are they for the next draw? My input is descending.The data in the input file should be arranged from the oldest to the newest results. That is, record 1 for the oldest draw, record 500 for the newest draw. It's also important that the last record really reflects the last known draw. That's because to make a prediction, VRA uses the cu
