    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    The odds of the random number generator for the quick pick spitting out 4 of the 5 numbers the same are equal to the odds of your ticket matching 4 of the 5 winning numbers or about 1 in 7,304 according to the mn lottery website.

    I always wondered why the clerks always ask "Same ticket?" when you get more than one. I know the odds say that...but It happens more often than you think. Ive never got 4 the same before but Ive had 2 a lot and 3 a few times. seems to happen more often than it should for a random number.

    In my consumer math class we talk about the math behind winning the lottery (especially the powerball) and even after showing the math they normally say that it can't be that hard. So I make a deal with them that if they even get 5 numbers right on the next powerball they will get an automatic A for the semester. Closest I've ever had was a few kids getting 3 numbers correct.

    That's because the way our pattern imposing brains understand randomness and the way it actually works aren't the same.

    This is LONG overdue!
    THE JACKPOT FOR BOTH THE ND POWERBALL & THE MEGAMILLION is just WAITING FOR ME!!!
    I feel very good about this! Within a few short days, an announcement will be made, and you will be hearing about the NEW BISON FOOTBALL FACILITY!
    The BISONdome ~ !!!
    Fanette's Football Arena ~ !!!
    (OMGosh, I'm beginning to sound like Loafy...)

    What do we need? A mere 400 Million for the BisonDome? The Powerball can make that happen.... and the 1.6 Billion Mega will build a couple!
    We could have computerized SIGNS - that change every 30 seconds!!! Awesome!
