Florida PB and Lotto

Florida PB and Lotto

Postby ryker » Thu Jun 30, 2011 3:51 pm

Not a prediction per say, but a result.

This was my first time using the program and filtering down results to something manageable in terms of cost.
First, I spent much of the day playing around and learning the program using the Lotto numbers. I finally got things filtered down to 320 tickets, then 40 tickets using Best Tickets. Couldn't figure out how else to narrow it down after reaching 320.. lol
Anyway, neither the 320 nor the 40 tickets won anything. Blah.

Now the funny part....

After messing around all day, it was 8pm and I figured I'd spend an hour working on the power ball before going to purchase some tickets. I filtered down to 507 tickets, then used the Best Tickets again to get 20. However, do to a printer problem, trying to fix it, and failing, I just left the house with my 40 Lotto tickets and said "screw the power ball." What led to this was also the combination the Best Tickets gave me:

Using Best ticket choice:
4 18 24 30 57 20
4 18 24 30 57 21
4 18 24 30 57 22
4 18 24 30 57 23
4 18 24 30 57 24
4 18 24 30 57 25
4 18 24 30 57 26
4 18 24 30 57 27
4 18 24 30 57 28
4 18 24 30 57 29
4 18 24 30 57 30
4 18 24 30 57 31
4 18 24 30 57 32
4 18 24 30 57 33
4 18 24 30 57 34
4 18 24 30 57 35
4 18 24 30 57 36
4 18 24 30 57 37
4 18 24 30 57 38
4 18 24 30 57 39

I was thinking, huh? They are all the same with only different power balls. Well screw that.

Here were the results for PB: 24 30 45 57 59 pb 26
My filtered package of 507 tickets would have produced these results:
5th prize: 2 ($200)
6th prize: 76 ($532)
7th prize: 1 ($7)
8th prize: 8 ($32)
9th prize: 2 ($6)
No Win: 418
Total: $777
Profit: $270

My 20 Best ticket choices would have produced these results:
5th prize: 1 ($100)
6th prize: 19 ($133)
Total: $233
Profit: $213

The $20 dollar ticket, never printed do to a printer error, would have won $233. Damn!!!
