* Anytime there are as many tries as there are possible outcomes than chance of a hit are 63.21%. Chance of getting a 1 when rolling a die 6 times: 63.21%. Chance of drawing the ace of spades when choosing 1 card from a freshly shuffled deck 52 times: 63.21%. Chance of winning P3 if you play it 1000 individual times: 63.21% . Interesting! This is an different perspective on the odds. Most texts talk about the number of draws it takes to have a 50/50 chance of hitting. Thanks for this differ

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
The comment I made last night was rude and inappropriate, and for that I apologize. Back to the topic... Inflation is not the reason for MM to raise their ticket price to $5. Inflation does not affect math. A 1 in 300 million (roughly) chance is always a 1 in 300 million chance regardless of what the CPI is. Inflation affects the cost of operating the game, which is the cost of thermal ticket paper, the machines to print them, and the twice weekly drawing. That's pennies. The fac

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I too have had 'trouble' with what's being argued so passionately in this thread. When I lived in the Northeast, although I lived in New York State, I lived in close proximity to Pennsylvania. Every Fall The PA Lottery (for what I'm guessing is the last 20 years or more) holds their Millionaire Raffle. According to the raffles official rules, a maximum of 500,000 tickets can be sold. The PA Lottery has always advertised the odds for the raffle at 125,000 to 1 because there are 4 top prize w

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
This just in to The Interesting to Note But Nobody Cares Department - This time around The Florida Lottery did in fact revamp this edition of The Millionaire Raffle. I think they probably copied some ideas that were instituted by The Pennsylvania Millionaire Raffle. I'm a transplant from the Northeast to Florida, and I used to live less than an hour's drive of Pennsylvania. PA has offered their version of a Millionaire Raffle every Fall for many years. I made the trip over to PA each Fall qu

When a game has a drawing in which each possible outcome is equally likely (such as Powerball), probability math says that.... drum roll.... each outcome is equally likely ! I don't know what stupid system you're using to predict numbers, but it is not probability mathematics. Please stop calling it that. Probability math is used to calculate the probability of an event occurring (e.g. all numbers drawn are odd numbers or the result is 1-5-7-12-14 and 5 ), or its expected value, or its v

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
P.U.!!! What stinx??? I too will get a Mil4Life ticket tomorrow Thursday one of the original two drawing days of the late Lucky 4 Life, the other being Monday. However I will limit myself to one ticket per week because of the $$$$. No more PB or mm until they reach 250/300 mil +. Now back to my liverwurst sandwich with ...., Have a shaggy day! ShagE3

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
Sales are lower. But they are making more money. Do to the price increase. Just one data point, but the first 3 drawings for 400+ had sales of $105 million compared to $117 million for the first 3 drawings for 400 the last time it got there before the price increase. That's just hair under 90%. Looking at PB sales for 3 drawings at 400+ at roughly the same times the more recent run had sales of 88% of the previous sales. Again, that's a limited set of data but it looks like lower MM sal
