You know what would be some great Marth to see on these daily updates.

Dollars spent buying tickets relative dollars won. Should be easy math.

Since you like % chances, probably not a bad idea to highlight the % chances of each of your groups actually winning all these jackpots you talk about.

Could even get super creative, jackpots won versus how many times you bump this thread.

The $8.7 million Lotto 649 jackpot for the January 9 draw was won – one winning ticket sold in Ontario. Sales of $14 million were 12% lower than average and 15% higher than the previous draw. There was a 72% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 24% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 4% chance of 2 or more winners. The expected value was very low at 47%. The $1 million guaranteed prize was under funded from sales, placing the Guaranteed Prize Fund at a new record deficit of $187.1 million.

100 pages and 7 years. This thread is a testament to dedication and bad understanding of probability.

I'm going to start a competitor lotto group. Split the market. Monopolies are bad for everyone.

Who's alt is Mario?

I think a lot of people have made their opinions of lotteries known in this and other threads, but it's not really benefiting anyone to keep shitting on the guy in here. Recreational gambling is a popular pastime, and mario provides a transparent service. Lots of beyond members join his groups, and are happy with how he runs them.

I'd argue that there are more people bad at math making worse financial decisions in the various day-trading threads than anyone in this one.
