Would love to see an experiment with AI to see if it could predict a single game from each type of lottery with all of this into consideration along with the simple rules and allowed the weight of each ball and how hard the air jets blow the balls in the barrels.

@vincenzo6412 Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately AI can't do that. The amount of complexity in the drawing process is to great to predict. Not to mention the difficulties in gathering perfect or near perfect data to analyze. It's just outside of the realities of how AI works.

@AB-if8pd 5 ай бұрын

Please, Correct me if I'm wrong. Finding the 1st number is ok. But 2nd through 5th is not correct because the 1st through 5th cone out from the game. Meaning, the first number is between 1 through 69, but the second number is 1 through (69-1) because the ball is out of the mixer. Another words, you're assuming the ball that came out, is back again in the mixer which is not true. Now, with that explanation how the probability combination formula changes? That is the challenge I am facing. Will you please forward your response to my email address where you'll find it under KZfaq id? No explaination is needed, Just the formula is fine.

How would you measure 26 different tickets all with the same 5 numbers but each one with a different PowerBall number?

@MrSMath 2 жыл бұрын

In that case, the probability of winning the jackpot would be 26 in 292,201,338 - or about 1 in 11,238,513. The probability of winning the one million dollar prize will be the same as if you only had 1 ticket - 1 in 11,688,054, despite the fact that you have 26 tickets. You would be guaranteed to the smallest prize of $4 (matching the power ball), but to buy the 26 tickets it would cost $52.

@rudyanthony4483 2 жыл бұрын

@@MrSMath is the probability the same as how many combinations exist and how many tickets you would need to hit that many different combinations?

@MrSMath 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Another way to say it is that the probability of winning any Powerball prize is the number of possible winning tickets divided by the total number of possible combinations for the numbers drawn.
