Number crunching for mega millionsReply
Its about understanding number distributions frequency patterns, and combinations over time. This can help: No amount of data will help you understand things when you don't understand the underlying nature of random probability and I've got to assume that anyone who spends that much time on past random results is at least a bit hazy on how things work. It s like studying weather data patterns exist, but they don t guarantee rain tomorrow. Despite the jokes about how often the weath

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
You should buy all the combinations that include the one off-by-3 number +/- up to 3 , the other number +/- up to 5 , and the Megaball +/- 1 . The number of tickets needed is ( 3 *2+1)*( 5 *2+1)*( 1 *2+1) which is 231 tickets, for a cost of $1,155. The reason for the formula n*2+1 (where n is the number off by) is there are n*2+1 ways to be off by as much as n (e.g. if 35 were off by 3, you would want to bet on 32,33,34,35,36,37,38). Even if you choose not to drop $1,155 on a single

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I am going with the prediction of no rollover for the drawing tonight. Why? Because of the one MM ticket that I got for my birthday...! What could possibly go wrong with that other than the multiplier was a 2X that does not count toward the jackpot...? Kate: Please feel free to get a jump on this one and begin preparing a really nice winners story about a Lottery Post user achieving victory over Mega Millions. Best wishes and good luck to everyone else for the second place priz

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
I think it would be really stupid for Powerball to do the same thing and make their game terrible as well. How stupid it is depends on how stupid their target demographic is. So far, for any advertised jackpot at $5 per ticket MM is collecting more revenue than they did at $2 per ticket. If sales remain relatively modest even when it goes up another 200, 500 or 800 million they might lose out in the long run due to a higher percentage of drawings with sales of $20 to $50 million, but in the

MM $5, PB $2, Powerplay $1IReply
Yes, prices for most goods and services have gone up due to inflation. Inflation means paying more for the same thing. However, the cost of printing lottery tickets and fixing machines is basically irrelevant, because cost is a very small part of the wager. Lotteries have increased prices or added $1 extra options to try to get more revenue from the players. Unlike inflation, they don't increase prices and give you the same prize. When you bet more, the winners win more. Also, the state coll

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
You should be glad you can't play 286 numbers in a twice a day 3 digit drawing. You would be thousands of dollars in the hole. A good pick 3 player (which is just luck, as there's no skill to this game) plays just a few numbers and turns a consistent profit. Playing more than 1/4th of the total numbers matrix practically guarantees the outrageous house edge will get you. By playing so many numbers, you've reduced the variance down to the point where it's statistically impossible to be a
