Information Theory and LottoReply
This reminds me of the book Lottery Numbers Past, Present and Future by Harry Schneider. He talks about the lines being divisible by different numbers. In most of his examples he uses the UK National Lottery.

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
How much can you expect to win if you buy up every possible combination of lottery numbers? The UK National Lottery recently increased its ticket price to 2. With 49 numbers to choose from, though, your chances of winning are tiny (1 in 13,983,816 to be exact). Unless, that is, you buy up every single possible combination of numbers. This is exactly what Stefan Mandel, a Romanian mathematician, did in 1992 when he netted US$28m in the Virginia State Lottery. So how much can you expect to w

[Quote] Camelot group to sue G-tech over UK Lottery Commission decision Monday August 28th 2000 The Camelot group says it will take legal action against its software supplier GTECH Holdings Crop, because of the reasons its bid to run the lottery for the next seven-years period was rejected by the UK National Lottery Commission.

Hello LottoHackJack I know this much that lotteries are not random and also all the different draws are linked and they switch numbers between these draws and they use the same belt as I provided information for it! One of my reasons is that I have collected over 400 tickets which one line (all 6 numbers) took match to lotto draw but 3/4 numbers in lotto draw one number in daily draw and one number in thunder ball draw! This can happen once or twice but not 400 times, the ticket which coul

Hi Jimmy and all Thanks for all your help, you have no idea that how happy I am to see the theory is true and it WORKS! What makes me happier if you or anybody could implement this system to your own local game too to prove this theory 100% correct so we would know they are using universal system for all lotteries around of the world! BTW, I don't really care how many views we have on this forum but as CarBob says you bet your bottom dollar that G-tech's eyes are all on here, the people

Time*treat I am glad that you discovered that they are shafting people in UK as you called it! UK rules; below words from UK Lottery Commission from his letter to my MP Firstly I should clarify the calculation of the National Lottery Prize Fund. For each draw, 45% of the sales is allocated to Prize Found. All 10 winners are deducted and the reminder divided as follows Match 6 of 6 (jackpot) 52% Match 5 of 6 + BB - %16 Match 5 of 6 10% Match 4 of 6 22%

Help with understanding formulaReply
Lex113, I was searching for anything that explained forward-backward algorithms, how they worked, and how to set one up. The PDF I discovered has to do with Bayesian methods for lottery draws. It's based on a study of the U.K. National Lottery. I figured that I once I understood it, I could adapt it to U.S. style lotteries and see what the results might be. I was hoping for someone that understands this stuff well enough to explain it to me. I'm in way over my head, that's why I asked.

If you are in fact correct, and I am in fact wrong, then you should file a complaint with the UK Lottery. A check of their past results... http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/results/resultsHistory/resultsHistoryAction.do shows they have paid out a fixed L10 (ten pounds) for matching 3 of 6, regardless of how many people matched higher prizes. As long as those rules are still in effect, the answer is still no .

Mo, I'll help when I can. Always eager to problem solve. @Jim When your program/code is available, send me a PM. When Mo states, local lottery I ask the question about what that really means. In his examples, he's using 5 to 7 lotteries from the UK for his analysis. As for those folks in the US/Canada, each state/province has their own lottery as well as National lotteries. So do we need data from all lottery sources, or do we need just one lottery source to do the analy
