Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply

Lottery revenue has been generally going downhill for years and the lotteries have been trying to stop the decrease or at least slow it down. One of the first huge jackpots was when MM reached $656 million in March 2012 on the 18th drawing. It reached 290 on the 16th drawing and then increased 73 363 and 293 656.

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
At the risk of generating a post generating obsessive, unreadable, tiresome and useless nonsense about memos and such, I would like to suggest that the Poisson distribution for probability of numbers of winners, based on the estimated number of sales for this drawing as posted on the Texas Lottery website, $467,466,068 (corresponding to 233,733,034 tickets) suggests the following number of winners: k, number of winners p(m,k) 0 43.52% 1 36.21% 2 15.06% 3 4.18% 4 0.87

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Here's proof that the drawing is random This drawing is probably proof that plenty of people play patterns, and certain proof that certain numbers coming up results in a number of winners that's only random in that whatever factor caused them to choose their numbers happened to match one of the combinations in the small subset of combinations that match the possible patterns.
