what technology can i use to increase my odds of winning this?
-
there are none, even if you increased your chances by 1000x, you would still have only an incredibly small chance of winning the big prize

Neural net

Honestly, you have a better chance of increasing your starting capital by gambling at a casino.

Lump sum or annual payments?
-
Lump sum and invest it. Payments overtime literally mean it’s devaluing as you are getting paid out over time.
I’ve also never played the lottery in my life but I’m genuinely considering it now. I have enough disposable income that investing in one ticket per drawing wouldn’t fuck my life up. Been considering how to come up with a number set. I’ve been considering writing a script to generate all possible outcomes, then taking out things I think are high risk.
Ideally, I’d remove
– Previous winners
– Things like sequential numbersFrom there, I’d try to shoot for some arbitrary combination that is unlikely to be built out by other people. For instance, I’d try to filter out number sets that include days/months, as people are likely to use variants of their birth dates and shit like that. With what’s left, I’d have an arbitrary number set that, hopefully if it wins, is unlikely to be shared.
I’m no statistician though. Would love to get others perspectives on this
-
All that work would be pointless, all number sets are equally likely.
Just use the lucky dip option for each drawer.-
> All that work would be pointless, all number sets are equally likely
The sequential number aspect is definitely just superstition. Repeat numbers is also likely just as much of a farce However, the aspect of trying to pick numbers that others wouldn’t pick likely is more valuable. You’re talking that if you are more likely to match even one other person you’re cutting the prize pool in half, no?And picking a random number set each time also feels wrong, but again, I’m no statistician. I’d think I’d just go through the hoops to pick a number set once and run with it indefinitely.
-
What if you miss a draw for whatever reason, and those specific numbers win?
-
I’d imagine the extreme majority of numbers are equally unlikely to be picked, so jumping over the analysis and going by RNG to pick yours will be fine. You can eyeball your randomly picked number to make sure it’s not the decimal digits of the square root of 2 or all 7s.

You don’t understand how probability and random numbers work, do you?

purchase tickets that cover all possible combinations of outcomes

I sometimes fall asleep fantasizing about having $10mil. I’d settle for $1mil. Just want a house bros.
-
You still have to pay property taxes and maintain the house if you want it to maintain it’s value, the game was rigged from the start.
-
Yeah I can do that with a wagie job though. I can’t buy a reasonably nice house unless I make a terrible financial decision for a mortgage or somehow get a high paying job

A year of property tax is like the cost of 1 months rent though in most areas.
-
people bitch about property tax way too much
-
Why the fuck do you have to keep paying to "own" property even after it’s been paid for?
It’s a freaking scam
-
its not even really about property it’s just that a functioning economy needs lots of money sinks to get rid of excess money supply otherwise the government can’t spend (create) any money without creating inflation problems. tax isn’t about getting money its about destroying it.
-
Mostly you’re paying for public services in your area that you directly or indirectly benefit from such as schools, libraries, parks and other public land, emergency services such as fire and police departments, trash collection, street maintenance, repair, and cleaning, sewer and storm drain management,
-
You’re not paying to own property you are paying to have the services you want continually maintained. How else would you have running water, sewage and electricity to your property? Not to mention roads and sidewalks that take you to your property
>I pay for that in my bills
But you don’t because those costs are astronomical and even with paying property taxes you never even pay for half what it costs. What is somehow a scam is this idea that you can own property perpetually and pay absolutely nothing in taxes and have continually provided services almost free by the government like running water, sewage, electricity, roads, sidewalks, police protection, fire protection-
Sounds like a big freaking ponzi scheme, public works can’t be funded by taxation alone so just water down the money supply to keep paying for it.

How old are you??
It’s literally how governments work, which is why taxes are a thing.

Because this kind of rent seeking is the most open for abuse and harmful to the economy. It’s parasitic.

because they are theft, like all taxes

>go back in time and tell yourself to buy a lottery ticket
>past you is now rich and never feels the need to go back in time to tell you to get rich
aaaand paradox averted-
What if I withhold the lottery information until past me finishes the time machine.

Work at the lottery. They know the winnnig numbers but can’t play that’s why they don’t win.
-
Imagine bitching about a property tax that would amount to less than 1/3rd of what rent would be draining out of you.

None. The best you could do is reduce the chance you share it.

If you are able to create a perfect simulation of reality you could fast forward it to figure out the numbers of the drawings.

There has to be a more sophisticated method to the drawing than a bunch of rolling balls in an acrylic tumbler?

You can be part of the datacenter they use to "randomly" pick numbers that no one has chosen.

>what technology can i use to increase my odds of winning this?
A textbook on statistics and probability. The only way to "win" is to not play.-
I guess a better question would be how many numbers would he have to buy to increase his chances.
-
Whatever chance one ticket has times the number of tickets.
You don’t magically gain anything from buying more tickets. Bad odds remain bad odds.

None because they use technology to stop you winning that.

Lotto is a scam.
The only reasonable way to win at lotto is to be the scammer who organizes it. -
If such technology existed, it would’ve been taken down by glowies ages ago.

>falling for the single most well-known scam in history
Buy all you want, you won’t win. You’ll just be filling the pockets of people who are much smarter than you are.-
Buying one every time it gets big enough to be on the news is fair

No, it’s not you sheep

>what technology can i use to increase my odds of winning this?
Time travel, or actually know the result prior to the draw taking place.
Otherwise, sorry champ there isn’t any. You’d have to develop it yourself. Which I guess is an inordinate amount of times smaller than you actually picking the correct numbers in the first place. -
Time police your system is already perfect chill out.
