Nobody could buy millions of tickets to cover all possible
combinations. That is why jackpots roll over.

Please let me know the source for your data.
I looked at several likely sources but must have overlooked
it
as I found no reference to these "facts".

Stig is correct. The information for these calculations is
available
from Ion Saliu on his website.


Shame on you for ruining the day for NoneUr, who was ready to
jump
ugly all over me for using a fake formula.

I did not ask you where you got your formula or even what formula
you
used
(we'll get to that later); I ask where you got the data.
Even the most sweeping of statements must be based on hard numbers
and
facts.
What are your baseline numbers and where did you get them?


I did not get it from
Saliu,whom I'm unable to decipher. I got it from an elementary
textbook on probability theory, which one needs to study before
statistics. My calculations are only an approximation to the
mean,
which must have a standard deviation, a concept foreign to
NoneUr.

An elementary textbook on probability, I see.
Did this textbook tell you what percentage of tickets sold are
quick
picks?
Did it specify how many quick pick tickets of those sold are
duplicates?

something fishy about easy picks.
i got 5 easy picks and got the same
mega ball in 3 of them i immediately
went to a different store and got 3 more
easy picks for the same game and had
repeating numbers in those 3 easy picks too.

The RGL Lottery Police will get right on that for you

i just can't understand why they
always pick the wrong numbers
every draw

These two lotto articles may help you understand . . .
