Lotto mania: Jackpot up to $540 million.

Quote from jem:

Your comment reminds me of trading arguments about t/a.

What if the point of tracking numbers if the results of random.
is someone going to say the balls are not selected at random?

Do the balls exhibit flocking behavior.

Should we put a bollinger band around the results and look for a breakout or a reversion to the mean?

There's one rational reason to choose unpopular numbers in lotteries. It doesn't make you any more likely to win, but it does make you less likely to have to share your prize with other winners, if your numbers do in fact come up.

More people pick round numbers, early numbers, and sequences, than the later/larger numbers out of sequence. So you should try to avoid those predictably popular number choices, to maximise your total win.

thanks...

This must have been the point being made by a friend of friend who is such a smart guy I did not doubt him when he said it.

This was a few years ago, but he also said the lottery officials set it up so the results are skewed towards or away from this idea... but I did not quite understand what he was saying... then the guys at the table said shuffle up and stop talking about work.
 
Quote from The_Tourist:

The actual reason for bias is not as important as 'inference' drawn from the residuals/errors of predictions from your own analysis, whatever that might be.
Only when you discover the condition where your discrepencies are smallest from the natural frequencies of all 6 oscillations, you will resonate to get the jackpot.
Question is what are the conditions?

got it .. thanks.
My mind does not think that way... but I realize that is how researchers at bio tech companies may think when they do their 10,000 trials. In fact, this puts a conversation in great light.

I played squash with a guy who wanted to set up a biotech research dept that tried to understand the whys before doing trials.
