Lottery winners share secrets of their successReply
I thought it was a good read. We hear about all the things that go wrong, now we see some examples of what to do right. It's a funny thing, there are alot of people out there who will criticize whatever a person does or say they are flat out wrong but when asked what would have been the better or right thing, the critical one has no answers or even a guess. This article gives some good answers. I run a lottery pool at work and if we ever do hit it big, I have some things I've suggested to

Customers strolling into Jammer's Bar and Grill at 12th and Hoyt Street SE can spend their paychecks on 18 taps of beer, hard liquor, burgers and munchies, and five pool tables.But barkeep Scott McComas' biggest profits come from the folks glued to six video-poker machines lining his tavern's rear wall, alongside an ATM.The Oregon Lottery Commission is expected to vote Wednesday to add slot-machine-style games to its network of video-poker terminals housed in bars and restaurants across the stat

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Thanks for the info. It was just my curiosity (and not judgment) about your pool compared to what I am doing (and my plan for a Pool) and nothing more. I read in an earlier post and understand that your organizer had a formula for each member to get 1 Mil on a big win. I think that is a good plan and sounds like it will not cost a fortune to execute. What I am doing *sounds* a bit rich but it really isn't. Since the end of March when PB MM were won back to back and reset to their minimum

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Actually, now that the multiplier will be a part of every lottery ticket purchase, it is mathematically possible for California to do it. To do so, they would allocate a certain percentage of sales to each prize level, just like they do today. But to determine what each winning ticket would be worth, they would divide the prize pool by the total number of multiplied prizes available instead of the total number of winning tickets. So imagine there were only two winners of a particular pri

Joining a lottery club?Reply
Not worth joining a pool. Its $61 million IF the winner opts for the annuity. Otherwise it is $36.9 million, before taxes. Take a third right off the top for taxes. That leaves a bit over $24.6 million to split between the pool. So 10 pool players would net about $2.46 million each with more taxes due at the end of the year. Big difference between expecting $61 million, or $36.9 million and receiving 2.4 million. But that's the reality. G

Chi-Squared Goodness of Fit Test for LotteriesReply
IMHO, in general government-run lotteries (in the western world at least) are not going to be exploitable in terms of statistical frequency attack. A lot of time, energy and money(!) is obviously put into trying. Eventually, if you look at enough lotteries, you'll find improbable outcomes and what appears to be non-randomness . Highly likely, that doesn't mean there is a flaw. Just if you sample enough, you get unusual patterns. (It's inevitable.) The people who have successfully exploited lotte

Once You Go Platinum, You Never Go Back!Reply
Hey win 500 quick. You want to be in my pool? Since you win 500 so quick, I was wondering if you would want to be in my POOL. You can maybe leverage you genius towards more money. I understand why you would not want to be in my pool. I am kind of a retard, and drunk half the time, and my math skills are retarded too. I am kind of annoyed of Nazi York, been thinking of going south... Well I hope when I go to Florida, you will let me pitch a tent in your back yard for a w

"SuperBowl Pool" of Florida scrtach-offs
Hi... I'm new to Florida and new to this thread. Where I lived in the past, I did something that I'm considering doing here in Florida. I bought an entire book of scratch-offs (unopened, still sealed in the cellophane wrapper) and then I ran what I'd call a SuperBowl Pool by selling 100 squares in a 10 X 10 grid. As best I can recall, I sold each square for $5. (I did this so long ago that I forgot how I did it) Selling each square for $5 got me a total of $500, which paid me back for the bo
