Players who claimed prizes under wrong numbers can keep their winnings By Kate Northrop The Iowa Lottery attributed posting the wrong Powerball numbers on their website for Monday's draw to a human reporting error and told players who already redeemed prizes that they can keep the winnings.

Hmm, that is a little peculiar. I must have made an error in my back-of-the-napkin stats workup, because I have an even-odds expectation of 11 days which is much shorter than your 15 days. Reality doesn't lie, I must have made (another) bonehead math error somewhere. I have to go, but I'll try to remember to take another look at this when I get home, because my calculated expectation is off by too much. Meanwhile, here's my $500 question. Do series numbers cluster?

Lottery Hanky PankyReply
Anytime computers and networking is involved, there's always room for hanky panky. As an IT admin, with enterprise rights, anything can be done and all these lotteries are networked.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Exactly my thoughts. If the doctor had a winning ticket of more than $600 that he must redeem at a Florida Lottery office prior to September, then his name and address was saved in The Florida Lottery's database.

Instructional videos
Is it possible to create videos that provide detailed, demonstrative instructions on how to use The Systems- Deflate and Inspector for all games? I have learned what I know by reading the instructions and by trial and error. However, seeing how to use The Systems would be most be beneficial to members who need visual demonstrations. I believe I have eliminated possible winning numbers because I am not fully understanding how to use the system.
