is it random?
that's just playing the odds. You're never guaranteed.
mmmmmm.sp3ktacular
ThyWhis...There's more people active in nj than any other prison, that's why we see more winners in nj.
From a technical standpoint, you are correct. It is just as possible to lose every single week regardless of how many times you enter as it is to win once after 2000 entries (and just as possible as it is to win every single week). However, from a pratical standpoint Im correct.
Probability is a curious thing. It is an attempt to give order to chaos. So how is this possible? A very simple, yet elusive reason. You know chaos is chaos, so you can predict that chaos will be chaos. Therefore, chaos itself can be given a certain amount of order based on that deduction. Does that make sense?
Anyway, believe it or not, but, while probability is not an exact science, it is extremely rare to find a situation that defies it obtusely. Especially with large numbers such as this. That is where things like cost-benefit anaysis charts come from.

You might look at these numbers and not think twice about it. Let me put it into more believable terms...
There are currently 39,130 people in NJ, 638 in Put, and 291 in AZ. Lets just say, for the sake of argument, that only half the people in NJ actually play. Thats 19,565 players active. (And by active, I mean they come online at least once a week)
Ok, lets do the math. Say again, for the sake of argument, that everybody that are active in all three prisons put in 1 ticket each (which is very believable because thats what most people do). Thats a total of 20,494 tickets. Knowing that, odds calculations are simple. This would mean that there is a 95.5% chance that somebody in NJ would win, a 3.1% chance of somebody in Put, and a 1.4% chance of sombody in AZ.
Still think you are being cheated?

Arguing with people like this is pointless... they can't accept reality, convince themselves they're the victim, and nothing will change that. They actually feel better that way.

first of all tell me the alst time u seen around 20k favors in for a lotto the highest the amount has been was 2k so 20k is far out of the subject
It would be a good idea to check that no one from Arizona has won before spouting off all this shit about it been fixed. If its fixed dont play it. If you dont play it what you moaning for go moan about something else as your kind always do. All you been playing nearly 2 months and theres some big conspiracy thing about everythings fixed pick your dummy up and get back in your pram and dont forget your teddy bear.[b][/b]
