Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Here's a trick players can use at the beginning of each month. In almost every month (but there have been a few months where it did not happen) all 36 of FF5's numbers will hit at least once in every calendar month. Think about it for a second. In October there will be 62 FF5 drawings held. Do you think that one number will skip the entire month of October (62 drawings) and NOT be drawn this month? I don't. As of last night, the following numbers have yet to be drawn in October. They are -

Florida's PICK 5 & Fantasy 5Reply
An article from NBC6 South Florida on the 88888 coming out: Over 170 Floridians won the Pick 5 during Tuesday night's drawing, but what made the drawing unique was that the winning numbers were all the same. The winning numbers in Tuesday night's drawing were 8,8,8,8,8, with 5 as the Fireball number. With 177 players winning the Pick 5, the Florida Lottery paid out $7 million. The following chart shows the breakdown of the winners and payout: According to

Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
The lottery doesn't follow a linear pattern The lottery doesn't follow any patterns at all. There might be patterns in the past random results, but those patterns are an effect, not a cause. The drawings might not be perfectly random, but they're extremely close. Even if you could determine the very small deviations from perfectly random that result from a particular set of balls or a particular machine you'd have to know exactly what the deviations are and also know what machine and ba

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
Let's try this with the simple game of Pick 3. In Pick 3, there are 1,000 combinations, from 000 to 999, all of which have the same probability of being the winning combination. Let's say you purchase one ticket. You pick 567 and bet $1. If the winning combination is 567, you win $500. Your chances of winning is 1 in 1000, because you have bet on one combination out of 1,000 equally likely combinations. Now let's say you decide to purchase a second ticket for the same drawing. You pi

Last forecast of the year!!!! Forecast #4 Level 3 Part 1 Prediction Statement: 1 of the 10 combos (per drawing) below will be drawn within 25 drawings (on or before 1/6 ). Game plan: I'll use the Martingale Betting system to achieve my desired ROI when I win. Practice the same combos and state drawings repeatedly every day. I may or may not change the state drawings while the forecast is still active. If I make any changes, I'll update the post. When the forecast wins one tim

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
I simply load the last cash value, and subtract the previous cash value (generally off the Texas Lottery site) and use the cash/sales ratio to estimate sales . And in this case you got garbage out because you put garbage in as a result of data that wasn't updated. In this case it looks like you used the $498.4 million cash value for the originally announced $1.1 billion jackpot. The actual cash value at drawing time was about $46 million higher, so they needed almost 70 million fewer ticket

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
is anyone going to bother with Mega Millions tonight? Even without PB being a bit more than 3 times as big MM is still well shy of my entry point, given the price and odds. I'm thinking some time in October is when I'll get in the game, assuming it's still rolling (and it probably will be). Under the prior ticket pricing structure I would have purchased my usual 1 ticket per drawing. Sorry to tell you but: They. Don't. Care. No tickets for me under any circumstances but am cu
