Has anyone thought of putting together a website or something with a pool of all the combos of numbers, minus the statistical anomalies that pretty much will never happen (i.e. numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 as a draw and so on) and selling the combos to people for 10 cents each?

When someone buys the system will randomly remove one of the combos from the pool and give it to the buyer to use on a ticket. You can buy as many as you want and each one gets taken from the pool you can buy. The website would also show how many combos remain in the pool and display the statistical chance for someone to win who had bought from the pool.

If every combo is bought and utilized it would mean a practically guaranteed jackpot AND 24 one million winners. This would turn the drawing into more or less of a raffle. Would it be possible???

I don’t get why ticket sales increase as the jackpot goes up. Like, they start at 20 fucking million. On average they’re around 100 million. That’s life-changing money already, and I doubt anyone would feel an appreciable increase in quality of life if they had 400 million as opposed to 40 million sitting in the bank.

Your odds don’t increase, so why do retarded normies start fomo’ing in when these reach like 500 million?

[Anonymous No.50636173]

>>50636082
It’s more like coercion. Assuming you win one of the dogshit lower payouts of like $7 (btw your odds are still like 1 in 150), it’s hardly worth the risk of $2 for a $5 payout. Paying the extra dollar means you might instead win $14, which is a respectable return considering the retarded fucking odds. You’re better off literally playing scratchers, because those at least pay you your money back roughly 1 in 5 times. Draw games are just trading your cash for useless bits of paper.

Same odds, but not the same probability. It's the difference between throwing a bullseye with darts and pulling off a Robinhood. The fact that they are consecutive numbers means it is more unlikely to happen. Rolling a die and it coming up any number 1-6 is 1 in 6 but picking 1 number and rolling it 6 times is WAY different. Probability changes for specific situations. The 302 million to 1 is a flat chance.

While you're correct about the odds being that way, you can't ignore that lots of people like to play patterns too. The idea of my reasoning here is to help the pool avoid sharing with the rest of the public when those pattern numbers come around. Also, even though it's just as likely as any other combination you will see them far less because of the number of non-pattern combos far outweighing the number of pattern combos.

There are more non pattern combos than there are pattern. So by simple probability there is a lower chance of seeing them over a given number of draws than the non pattern. If there are 20 of one type and 80 of the other, then you can expect to see the OTHER 4x more often. We aren't talking about just one drawing here. The idea of the lottery pool is for a bunch of people to play every draw of the year and split all the winnings together. You would want to maximize your payouts by avoiding things that are in the minority of probability AND things that would create a more drastic split of gains with the public.

Imagine a partnership where 20,000 people pay in about 3200 each for a year of drawings from that created pool of numbers. Each person is getting 10 of the combos from the pool of non-pattern draws each combo with a random bonus number, and every play has the multiplier.

With 20,000 people at 10 lines each you get 200,000 draws in the pool. All winning at the 1,000,000 dollar level and below are multiplied by 2 to 5. The 3rd party partnership running the pool takes all winnings, pays the tax, then duvides all leftover winnings to the 20,000 players for 104 drawings in a year.

If you could average 50 bucks a person for every drawing, then everyone in the group walks away with 5100 minus their 3200 buy in. You hit a jackpot or two and you could all end up finishing the year with up to a quarter million.

Can you pay more money to put more numbers on the ticket?
Here in Italy most games have what's called "playing a system", where you pay the equivalent of the number of tickets that you'd have to buy to get all the possible combinations of the N numbers you put. This gives you much better odds than spending the same money on single tickets every draw (so you're better off putting that money in a piggy bank and spending it all at once when the jackpot gets huge).
I don't play the lotto so I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that it results in you actually buying all the individual tickets for the combinations, rather than a single big ticket, which is advantageous because you can get the sum of all the (far more likely) small prizes from combinations of 3 or 4 numbers.
So not only you're significantly more likely to get the jackpot (still an extremely small chance), but you're much more likely to break even or to make a small profit.
It might be different with the MegaMillions game, but normally a higher jackpot also means that the smaller prizes are more substantial, so you can calculate the point where the small prizes are big enough to be worth the risk to you (which you can further reduce by playing as many numbers as you can afford).
If you can't do this, just buy all the combinations individually.

Then there's the whole "which numbers to play", which I haven't done any research or math on, but I don't think it makes any difference. Just use random.org to generate some numbers or google which numbers haven't been drawn for the longest, I don't think it should matter, and if there is a way to find numbers that are even slightly more likely to be picked, it's either way above our head, or you already know how to calculate that, so I have no advice on that.

By far the biggest way to improve your odds is to play a game that's just easier to win.
In Italy the best one is MIllionDay, where you can only win up to a million Euros, but you "only" have to guess 5 numbers out of 55.

It's still gambling though, so nothing is guaranteed and you could very well win zero even with the increased chances, so don't spend any money on this that you're not ok with losing.

[Anonymous No.50653860]

>>50653749
That "only5 out of 55" is about 3,819,816 unique combinations... give or take. A 1 in 4 million chance for a single draw, but a group of people buying a pool of 20,000 combinations has a 1 in 191 chance of splitting the pot between them. 20 people do that and each gets to take home 50,000 euros.

[Anonymous No.50654179]

>>50653860
Wouldn't you have to get each person to buy 1000 tickets manually to avoid overlapping combinations among the 20k?
Or could you do that with multiple 9-number "system" plays (each costing 126€ for 9 numbers creating 126 combinations)?
MillionDay has draws every day so you don't have much time.

I would also have trouble finding 20 people willing to bet 1k€ on a 1 in 200 chance of getting 50k€.
Even accounting for all the smaller prices we'd win, which would basically reimburse part of the 1k€, it seems like a pretty bad bet to make.

[Anonymous No.50654270]

>>50654179
Yeah at a 1 million pot it doesn't make sense, but pools can work with higher pots like 20 million. I posted the strategy up there, and if you count all the smaller winnings for mega millions it could end up working out with the right number of people.

[Anonymous No.50654489]

>>50654179
Advertise the partnership, get 20k people to buy in at 3200 for a year of drawings, then use that money to draw 200,000 unique combos 104 times a year.
You've now got a 1 in 60 1/2 chance to pull the 5 correct white balls each and every one of those 104 drawings. When you DO hit those 5 you then need to get the 1 in 20 bonus number for your group to take the whole 20 million (minimum) jackpot. 20 million between 20,000 people is 750 bucks each before all the smaller prizes are added in AND after the federal withholding of 25%. Now remember there are 104 drawings a year and this is just one.

Would YOU buy in?

...and on until Ticket 20000 gives 1:3,880,000 chance. You don't divide the odds by your number of chances retard. You subtract your chances from the overall odds.

[Anonymous No.50654613]

>>50654270
Yeah, the advantage of pools is to reduce the capital each person "sinks" into each draw (at the cost of having to split the winning with a number of other people) but with the odds of a huge total investment.
The odds are still unfavorable, but it can start making sense once the jackpot gets so high that the (kinda more likely) smaller prizes make the bet worth it.
It could be interesting to do some research on every possible lottery and find which can reach worthwile small prizes relative to the intrinsic odds and whatnot.
Kinda like what these people did:

A Romanian mathematician named Stefan Mandel got very rich doing something like that. I don't remember the details but IIRC it's no longer possible (or practically feasible) to do something lke that today.
Also, consider that you have far better odds playing a ton of tickets in one draw than to space them out

>>50654613
>>Better to play a ton of tickets in one draw than to space them our.

Exactly, that's why it'd be 200,000 tickets per draw. Sucks that you can't get it done these days... oh well, cheers to Mr. Mandel!

[Anonymous No.50654839]

>>50654581
He's right.
1 ticket means 1 chance to get the one right combination among 4M possible combinations.
2 tickets mean 2 chances of getting the one correct combination in 4M.
2 million tickets mean that out of 4M outcomes, half of them are winning combinations for you, so you have a 50% chance of winning , or in other words, 1 in 2.
If going from one ticket to half of the total 4M combinations is equivalent to going from 1:4,000,000 to 1:2, it means you have to divide, not subtract.
If it were a subtraction thing, buying half of the tickets would result in you having a 1 in 2 million chance, which doesn't make sense because you're not paying to remove them from the list of all the possible drawable combinations. You're adding them to your list of winning combinations.
By your system, if you buy every combination but two (so 3999998 out of 4000000) you have a 1 in 2 (50%) chance, which doesn't make any sense.

Are you in debt with the mob by the exact amount of the jackpot?
Why does it matter that you're winning half of a colossal sum instead of the total?
Obviously it's better to take home the full prize, but there's only one winning combination and you can only win with that (ignoring smaller prizes for simplicity), whether the prize is all for you or to be split between a number of people.

Think of it this way:
>you play the uncommon pattern and lose
The splitting mechanic doesn't come into play and nothing matters.
>you play the uncommon pattern and win
The splitting mechanic is less likely to come into play and reduce your prize
>you play the common pattern and lose
The splitting mechanic doesn't come into play and nothing matters.
>you play the common pattern and you win
Your giant prize is split among all the winners and you still get a lot of money

The splitting mechanic only comes into play if that pattern is the winning one (in which case you're still winning), and if that pattern is the winning one, then you not choosing it means you lose.

I'm a brainlet and don't really understand. Why would the patterned numbers be any different than a non-patterned one? All the numbers have equal chance. A 1 ball followed by a 2 ball is just as likely as a 6 ball followed by a 42 ball right?

Anon doesn't understand that those numbers are just labels and other than being used to distinguish the different elements are completely meaningless.
Instead of numbers it could've been literally anything else. Names, places, car models, emojis, book titles, random strings of characters, etc.
