Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
I don't agree with this. It's the lottery's job to shut down so-called bulk ticket retailers, not collect all this money and then deny payment. That's what Texas tried to do to a winner and she had to sue them to collect. Withholding payment to the woman in TX with no indication that her ticket was bought as part of a (still legal) effort to have the winning numbers as a result of an organized effort to methodically buy all of the combination was ill conceived, but it wasn't the lottery tha

Florida's Fantasy 5
I couldn't find any other thread, other than the 11-thousand page thread that's only posting Pick 5(Despite Fantasy 5 in the title). So I thought maybe we could have one just for Fantasy 5. I was thinking maybe there's other people out there who aren't into the bigger Jackpots, like Powerball, since it's 2$ a ticket, and the odds are astronomically higher, although quick picks are fun I'll admit. We can discuss strategies or systems, post our predictions, wins/losses, whatever related to Fantasy

classic questions on lottery forumsReply
On what predicting means in lottery contexts Often, in discussions about lotteries, we see the statement that no method predicts future draws. While this statement is technically correct, it is only absolutely true if and only if we are talking about predicting the exact numbers that will be drawn, in quantities and combinations identical to the official result. However, this view can be limited if we consider other possible objectives of a prediction. A practical example:

Your idea is that, while there's no guarantee of winning, there might be a sync in the filters that increases the odds. How a pattern analysis system would work A system of this type would be a computer program that uses historical Powerball drawing data to identify and analyze patterns. It would do this through various data analysis techniques.

mathematics of re-playing small wins
I was curious as to the improved probability of winning a large prize when you re-play small wins, so I wrote a computer program to calculate it, running 200 million simulations. Naturally, this depends on the prize structure and what is your cutoff point for large prize . I selected Colorado's $5 scratcher $100,000 Super Bonus. The odds are: $100,000 = 1 in 960,000 $20,000 = 1 in 480,000 $5,000 = 1 in 480,000 $1,000 = 1 in 480,000 $500 = 1 in 2,500 $100 = 1 in 194

THE ARCHETYPAL BASIC OF CHANCE IN LOTTERIES
The archetypal basis of chance in lotteries can be understood through various lenses, including Carl Jung's analytical psychology, sociology, and even the physics of probability, although the latter does not deal with archetypes in the Jungian sense. Considering archetypal concepts, we can explore the following foundations: 1. The Archetype of Fate/Luck (Fortuna) This is perhaps the most straightforward archetype. Luck, or Fortuna, is personified in many cultures as a capricious godde
