need help for formula for odds to win 3+1 in loto 6/37Reply
Here is a download link to an Excel file with the calculations for 6/37 game: http://www.box.net/s/eci897isfo26qt08afg0 To calculate the lottery odds of hitting 3 of 6 in a 6/37 game. The 6-number winning combination can be broken in =COMBIN(6,3) = 20 groups of 3 numbers each. Each 3-number group can be combined with 3 numbers from the rest of the field: 37 6 = 31. =COMBIN(31,3) = 4,495. There is a total of 31 x 4,495 = 89,900 lottery combinations.

You get approximately 50% back, all you have to do is calculate the odds for 50 tickets. I'll do it quickly here... $30.00--1 in 25 ($60 total) $35.00--1 in 6.58 (Around $250) $40--1 in 20 ($80 total) $50--1 in 16 ($150 total) $100--1 in 25 ($200 total) Those are the prizes you are guaranteed The least you could expect would be around $700-750 so just about half. Of course you could hit the 500, 1,000, 5,000 prizes if you get a lucky a roll, but you'll most likely toss

What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
Bobby I don't know if when using gap strategy that making the game a 3-30 would help since the pick-3 is really just picking a three digit number between 000 and 999. I play the other way around by taking double digit games and turning them into digits. Many think this has no real use but for me it has proven it's self over selecting numbers in that it produces many more lower prizes when I make several correct selections. If I was going to play I would use a random gap approach.

Jimmy Why don't you quit being so nice and instead of posting links for us to read just come out and tell us how our ignorance and severe lack of math skills is placing us in jepordy of of not being able to make sound decisions that will change our lifes. The reply above to my post is considered in MO. to be a copout.

Statistics around the balance of even/odd and small/big numbersReply
everyone Here is a link to a lottery odds, Combos, and probability calculator that I wrote. Just run the setup program and it will install the calc and build a shortcut to it. It is not for pick-3 or pick-4 single digit games and does not calculate bonus balls. Just type in how many numbers are in each set and then type in how many numbers in the matrix. Example for a 6-44 game 1st type in 6 and press enter 2nd type in 44 and press enter The results will then be

HELP! Macro to eliminate 5 match numbersReply
RJOH I once read in the Bible that God caused a ass to speak. I though it was fable but now think it could be Quite true. My wife has a system of hitting 2 or 3 numbers on one line with about 75% hit rate. The odds for any one drawing are for selecting a set at random, does this mean that if the set is not selected at random the odds do not apply? Way back, when I first studied statistics it was used by applying certian data to the masses. If it is used to calculate a single event

My digit system for pick-5 or pick-6 lotteryReply
Adam With a 5-42 matrix then you have 14 one's and 14 two's but only 13 three's, you also have three more four's and one more zero then in a 5-39 01-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-21-31 + 41 02-12-20-21-22-23-24-25-26-27-28-29-32 + 42 03-13-23-30-31-32-33-34-35-36-37-38-39 04-14-24-34 + 40-41-42 05-15-25-35 06-16-26-36 07-17-27-37 08-18-28-38 09-19-29-39 10-20-30 + 40 Using the above it is very easy to calculate the expected percents for each digit wi

Fooled by RandomnessReply
Jimmy You are a basket case, and your childish remarks are a testament to your low IQ. Check any matrix for any lotttery and you will find the information that the game will conform to before the very first drawing. You are the one who thinks he is smart and you are not. You cannot see outside the very little box that you live in. When I choose to play any lottery the first thing that I look at is the total number of sets possible for the matrix. This gives me the odds for selecti

The Quest for a Blockbuster System In a couple of my earlier posts, I mentioned that I had 12,200 Draw results for the Pennsylvania Daily Number game (Evening). This was incorrect. I hadn't finished grabbing all 33.4 years from the PA website, so I multipled 33.4 by 365 and rounded to 12,200. In fact, PA did not draw Daily Numbers on Sundays for nearly 2 years. So, now that I'm done, what I have are 11,563 rows from March 1, 1977 to today, August 3, 2010. Theoretically, according to probab

Gambling Of Any Kind Is Not A Sin!!Reply
Has anyone of you thought and think that what people bet on are games...Is there anything wrong with a game...Is there anything wrong with placing your money on your favorite team or horse thinking he/she is going to win...
