Statistician cracks secret code behind lottery ticketsNews Story
Is the apparent randomness of the scratch ticket just a facade, a mathematical lie? The call came around 3 a.m. Toronto time, which was midnight in Nevada where Doug Hartzell was sleeping. It was his old friend, Mohan Srivastava, phoning from Canada. He called me and said, 'Man, I think I'm losing it. But I see a pattern in scratch lottery tickets,' said Hartzell, recalling that 2003 conversation. My reaction almost instantly was like: I'm sure he's right. Over their three decades

Players seek $250 million from Texas Lottery contractorReply
I posted on another thread that I have one of those tics. Didn't get 3 fives in a tic tac toe. The tic had a 5 in all 4 corners. Did get the money bag with 5x. If I had gotten a tic tac toe the prize on the tic was $500. So the rational is that because I got the 5x money bag I won $2500. Well, there is no $2500 prize tier for this game, so common sense alone tells me I didn't win. That's not too hard to figure out. Was it a little confusing at first? Yes. But again, a little common sense was all

A store owner or a clerk would have access to the tickets and remove what they believed to be the winning tickets and sell the rest. They would know amount of the prize and wouldn't buy the free tickets or tickets that paid off in equal value and sell them to customers. If their method had a 60% accuracy rate, they would make a nice profit. And even if they were smart enough to spot such a flaw in the design of the tickets, they would probably (as he suggests) have a more profitable way of m

N.C. Lottery begins todayReply
Over $10 million in sales for the first day, that is the current estimate. So much for any plans to stop the lottery in court. Only spent $5 today; 2 NCELs, 1 Tic Tac Toe and 1 Blackjack. Won a free ticket on one of the NCELs. Felt so weird buying tickets without having to go to Myrtle Beach.

N.C. Lottery begins todayReply
I scratched all of the NC Lottery Tickets. Won $25 on Tic Tac Toe and $1 and $2 here and there on all but the the $5 tickets which did not give up ANYTHING except one free ticket. I'm down $12. I don't think the $5 tickets are going to be giving up much because I scratched 5 tickets and got Jack and another person scratched 5 tickets and got Jack. I had no luck with the $2 Black Jack ticket either. You can't even beat a dealer hand of 17. The $2 and $5 I am going to avoid but play the
