Lottery ticket sales increase across countryNews Story
Financial records for 41 state lotteries that end their fiscal year in June show 28 had higher sales than the year before. Seventeen of those states set all-time sales records. Kate Sweeny, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of California-Riverside, said an uptick in lottery sales largely occurs when people feel a lack of control over events larger than themselves, such as the economy. Jeff Anderson, head of the executive committee of the North American Association of S

What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
If so it won't be because you've arrived at the belief through anything approaching an unbiased study of the subject . well that's not even in the ballpark as far as a truthful statement. granted, you don't know me, or until yesterday, you have never encountered my fact based common sense , but i will factually lay it out again, knowing you didn't miss it the first time. i made the factual statement that in all of the history of LP...... no one ........has ever demonstrated sustained

MADDOG'S Powerball Challenges (Discussion)Reply
I learned from my earliest postings at LP that a lot of people here mistrust Random Number Generators. Therefore, I avoided as much as possible using them while trying to make a point. I had hoped that by using the picks of the participants in MadDog's Challenges over a long enough period of time, [many of them chosen in a systematic way,] the results would finally convince [some] staunch believers in an advantage to system play that it really doesn't matter how they choose their numbers. It

MADDOG'S Powerball Challenges (Discussion)Reply
Stack47, RJOh, You must think I am the only one who will notice that you are [not so] cleverly evading the questions posed above. I think not. You must also think your prior claims that you can beat the odds will be forgotten. I think not. I made the request, I'm sure I am not the only one who would be fascinated to read just how YOU would spend $3168 on one Powerball draw. Of course, I don't expect you to give up any trade secrets; just impress us by estimating how much better yo

Group still trying to undermine Arkansas LotteryNews Story
As state higher education officials mail out notices to the first recipients of Arkansas' lottery-funded college scholarships, a group that fought creation of the lottery says it is gearing up to start its anti-lottery campaign anew. Jerry Cox, executive director of the Christian conservative Family Council, says the group is making the lottery its No. 1 issue for next year's legislative session. The group has drafted two bills that would impose limits on lottery operations and will push f

"Domi" Pega 3Reply
That is very good PiraX. -------- The Target numbers have 4 patterns and they are those. I removed all the other numbers for this. As you can see on those draws: Either the patterns change from last to next (Of Only Those Patterns) And or they repeat or come out 1 more time before they change. Take into account that on those draws I removed Doubles, Triples, All Low, All High, All Even and All Odd. Now: I show only the Target High-Even Patterns. Those patterns a

Should be a SYSTEMReply
Ace, listen, you are placing a bet on balls that float around in a box and three land and you are a winner if you can predict the outcome. Right? Right! Now, I don't know about anyone else here on this post, but yes I do use a few systems, but mostly its my gut feeling that gives me numbers for the PA lottery. I can be working on systems, looking at my sheet, studying the history, but all of a sudden a number just pops off of the page at me and I know its the one. I know, drinking too much

Spending on others brings happinessNews Story
Money can buy happiness when it is spent on other people, scientists have discovered. Research in Canada and the US suggests happiness is not greatly affected by higher incomes or financial windfalls, it is significantly influenced by the amount people give away. The more money people donate to charity or the more they buy gifts for loved ones or friends, the more likely they are to feel better about themselves, a team led by Elizabeth Dunn, of the University of British Columbia in Vancou

Heart Breaker...
First I wanted to say Hi to each and everyone on the forum. I have been reading the forum for quite awhile now, but this is the first time I have ever posted. I thought this would be a good time to post and tell what happend to me in a recent Powerball Drawing. Powerball is the game I play twice ever week , and I always pick my own numbers. I have came close quite a few times in the past year, since I started playing Powerball every week. I wont bore you with the close misses I have had, ( ev

If I reduce the MM or PB number pool by half and play 3o2e/3e2o...(?)Reply
Sorry I took so long to reply, I didn't even know you replied back. Again, you're simply showing that you don't understand how probability works. Probability is an exact science. You're just confused about what it can predict . It doesn't predict future events. It describes probabilities. There's a reason we don't refer to the laws of certainty or the laws of what's definitely going to happen. No, I took advanced mathematics in college. I'm pretty versed on the subject of pr
