If the PCSO announces more than one winner in the Superlotto 6-49 game, shouldn't we be alarmed?
This article discusses
- The integrity of the Superlotto 6-49
- Winning the jackpot using Math, MS Excel and the Science of the Law of Attraction
- An updated table of frequently drawn numbers
When nobody gets all six combinations in the PCSO Lotto 6-49 game, that's okay. One winner in a long while is a miracle...but multiple winners...wait a minute...isn't that Mathematically impossible!
If PCSO made P106.2 Million in sales on Feb. 8, 2009, that's only 5.3 Million combinations (total sales divided by P20 bet). There would be 8.6 Million combinations (62%) without a bettor ...and that's also the odds of having no winner (again).
There's a popular notion that there must be a millionaire who's waiting for the jackpot to reach a certain amount and then bet on all the combinations. That means the jackpot for the Superlotto should be more than P279.6 Million. Would any millionaire bet P279.6 Million? Wouldn't he be running the risk of losing half of the jackpot if another millionaire does the same. Are the lotto computers even capable of taking almost 14 Million bets at one time?
