gAr , we can choose our numbers or use simulators as well .

  There is no repetition , see some examples at post #5 .

  By any chance , are you a mathematician or just into math ?

Continue ,

Second question , each draw raises average US$10-14 Million so if you divide into US$1,25 per ticket , there are like 11 million tickets betting .  Last monday , two tickets got 15 numbers right and shared the big prize of US$2.5 Million , then 611 tickets got 14 right taking home US$1500 each , then 21.890 tickets got 13 right to get US$12,50 , then 254.000 tickets got 12 right to get US$5,00 and finally 1.400.000 tickets got 11 right to get US$2,50 . That´s why even if I do not get the 15 right , chances to get some money back are great .

If you want to check my spreadsheet ,with those 600 hundreads combinations taken from all the draws made so far , please just let me know where to send it to .  It´s time to discuss strategies to predict new combinations , I do not master ms excel , hope you do.

See you

Hi Bobby ,

Answering your questions , I have picked a video on youtube so you can watch how the numbers are drawn , it´s simple , it´s just a metal globe with 25 balls in it , one ball is taken out at a time . Note that once a ball is out it does not come back to the globe , instead they put it on a display so everyone can check . Please see youtube.com/watch?v=zOFK3x77JOU

gAr ,

I´m just looking for the sure win by betting with 10.000 tickets , it´s not that simple to hit 15 out of 25 numbers , there are over 3 millions of combinations .

The site´s system has returned my messages to bobby , support has been informed , hope they solve this problem soon , I´m not ignore him at all .

Hello gAr ,

Yes , the prize to get 15 right is around 1.7M , never less than 1 M and the good news is there are two draws per week , mondays and thurdays .

The rules are like any other regular lottery , usually out there you have to hit 6 out of 49 , in this case it´s 15 out of 25 .

If you master ms excel you will be able to work with some pretty good odds , I´m willing to bet on 10.000 tickets , so all we need to do is work together on strategies to select 10.000 sets of combinations .

Feel free to ask me anything .
