It looks like if you win in Texas you have to appear at a press conference where they give you the check. If I win, I am going to make them regret that rule.

I'm not searching for it, but I'm betting, a very large amount of cash, someone has already made that drawing, only in much more detail. As such, I will be canceling my commission and instead defaulting to the standard "Hookers and Blow" wish from the powerball money genie.

Can any statistics pros answer a question? Humans are really bad at picking random numbers. We subconsciously associate images, colors, life events, etc with them, especially lower numbers 1-31. Assuming that this is true and that the 32-69 pool of numbers is neglected by human pseudo-RNG, wouldn't that make the odds of winning vs a true RNG lower? I know each combination, including 1 2 3 4 5 pb6, has an equal chance of pulling, but if humans weigh lower drawn numbers more than higher drawn numbers, wouldn't that overall decrease the chance of winning vs an RNG that has an truly equal weight to all numbers? Or is the only thing affected the collision rate vs other human picks?

But you had to imagine the breasts that big, which extends the realm of imagination, which means the breasts are even bigger than that- Could Applewhite imagine breasts so large that even he couldn't draw them?

Does the weight and distribution of the ink on the air-blown ping pong balls affect their statistical likelihood of being picked?

My True gambling story: When I was having my bachelor party I went to a casino in California. Now, because of California laws, card games and slots are permitted, but not most other games of chance, so when they play roulette, it works by having the number come up and the number hashes out to a certain card being drawn and that card determines which bets won. So I'm chilling and watching the roulette table when out of the blue I get an honest to God Glimmer like the kind Stephen King talks about. In one instant I suddenly saw in my mind exactly which number was going to come up next. I rushed over as quickly as I could and put like $300 on the number just before the best closed. They spun the wheel and no poo poo the number I'd guessed came up! I Now, that's like 35-1 on a $300 bet so it was in for a $10,500 jackpot. Or so I thought. Then the loving stupid rear end roulette guy flips over the indicated card and it's some other bullshit number and I lost the $300. gently caress California's lovely bitch-rear end gaming laws. I haven't had a Glimmer since, but even though I lost it was a pretty amazing feeling.

Applewhite posted:Does the weight and distribution of the ink on the air-blown ping pong balls affect their statistical likelihood of being picked? p sure they go to great lengths to ensure all balls are identical and have the same chance of being picked. e.g. https://www.lotterypost.com/blogentry/11305 quote:At Quantum, the balls are checked with a micrometer to determine that they are in fact 50 mm in diameter, as they should be. Next they are measured for resiliency - in other words, how well they bounce. This can be done using a measuring device known as a resiliometer, which drops a weight on the ball and measures how far away it is propelled, or by videotaping the balls as they are dropped and measuring the height of their bounce. The video-tape is rolled back and the exact bounce height can be measured. Sophy Wackles fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Jan 13, 2016 |
