There are 308,254,491 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. linedup single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times.That's a lot of people.

The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 151,671different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use inthe United States. Some names are more common than others.

There are 44,571 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 969 people named James Bond, 102 people named Harry Potter, 434 people named George Bush, and 31 people named Emily dickinson. However, Johnny Cash (32 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, very few boys named Sue.

What about you? How many people share your name? Enter it and find out how many of you there are.

You might use the number of people with your first name for numbers in jackpot games, the number of people with the same last name in a Pick 4 (if it's four digits), and the number of people with your name as a Pick 3.

Just use your imagination.

Enjoy.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

I looked it up and there are 9,248 with my first name, 1,557,261 with my last name and only 47 with both. I knew there were at least 34 others ten years ago when I requested a hotmail account because I had to add the number 35 to my name to use it as part of my hotmail e-mail address. Before hotmail started classifying a lot of e-mail as junk, I would get copy of spam sent to up to #44 people with my name.

Ok for me 628,913 have my first name, 151,385 have my last name and 309 have both. HAHAHA I don't even like my last name.

Then I tried my maiden name. Only 19,614 have this last name and 40 have both.

There are over 800 people with my first and last name and I'm going to sue every one of them for trademark infringement or something. I will not be a commoner!

There are 49 people in the U.S. w/ my first and last name

There are 145 people in the U.S. w/ my first and maiden last name

I did my kids, too, and for my oldest, she is the only one (or fewer..lol) with her first and last name.

There are 12,332 people in the U.S. with my first name , there are 726 people in the U.S. with my last name

There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with my first and last name.

I thought my first name was more unique than my last, I knew there were not that many people with the last name Figures.
