mega millions power ball and pick 5 numbers games aren't rigged.

It's just that hard to hit the jackpot.

just make sure your number sequence hasn't hit anywhere else in the world.

if parts of it has,then you are out of luck.

Just try a new set of numbers.

On your other thread you said "Less manipulation involved" and any manipulation of an actual real drawing is rigging it.

"if parts of it has,then you are out of luck."

Just looked at a PB combo and three of those five numbers were drawn 13 times. But I'll agree it's very unlikely (next to impossible) all five numbers will be drawn in the next million years. Those 13 times were over many years and shows why it's so difficult to even win a minor prize.

When trying to predict numbers compare results against the last 60 games for optimal results.

302,575,350 combinations in the MM game, divided by 104 draws in a year = 2,909,378 years.

60 is a single speck of sand on a beach.

You obviously didn't read my post in your haste to respond. However, it's common on these forums. No one cares about the total amount of possible combinations when comparing results against what previously came out. However, continue to post irrelevant calculations if it amuses you.

Geez dude, take a chill pill. I read your post and didn't reply "in haste".

The odds for MM are such that no strategy is really gonna help. I sell lottery tickets at my job. Every week a guy comes in and buys $60 - $80 MM tickets, and cashes in anywhere from $4 - $10 in "winners". I use a "strategy" myself for kicks, but frankly a QP is just as good.

My post about the number of combinations and how years it would at least take was for an example of the crazy odds we're up against.

Good luck with your "endeavor".

"compare results against the last 60 games for optimal results"

Aren't the last 60 drawings "the current results"? What optimal results are you comparing?

Right! It really all boils down to having some old fashioned good luck. And therein lies the beauty because if it really was rigged, but you luckily matched all 6 numbers anyway, you're still the winner of a ton of money. G5

"Just make sure your number sequence hasn't hit anywhere else"

Not to rain on your parade, but Florida Fanatsy5 has had 68 drawings where the entire set of five numbers was drawn for a second time. It's an even higher number of a duplicate set of five numbers being drawn in New Yorks' Take5. That game has even had one set of five numbers be drawn three times throughout it's 30 year history. Same goes for Massachusetts Pick5 game Mass Cash. In that game there have been many sets of five duplicate numbers been drawn, and one set of five was drawn three times.

Just about every state's Pick5 game has had multiple duplicate sets of 5 numbers be drawn. In the world of Pick5 games, it's not uncommon at all for this to happen. G5

I've always had trouble with the statement that lottery games are rigged. To my way of thinking it wont make an ounce of difference to a big winner if the game really was rigged. They still pay the jackpot winner even if it is rigged. And they don't have to rig it. It's the odds against players that make it super hard to win a jackpot. G5

Another ridiculous analogy by DoucheStalker.

It's always possible that I'm wrong~

But that's never at the top of my list of possibilities.

LOL. Yeah, that's a first...comparing a shooting gallery at a fair to lotteries that have odds of 1 in hundreds of millions.

But, if you ever need a good laugh to brighten your day, just read DoucheStalker's posts.

(Great moniker for him).
