Last of the Lottery…for now.
Tom Deighton on December 15, 2009 in The Lottery Experiment | No Comments »Well I’ve just about had it with this lottery business. It’s too depressing. Wait till you see the results this time.
Here are the results:
- 07 19 22 37 57 PowerBall 27 My Pick
- 05 13 20 44 47 PowerBall 06 Machine Pick (control ticket)
- 17 22 38 47 50 PowerBall 24 Woman’s Intuition
- 12 13 14 35 41 PowerBall 29 Actual Winning Number
As you can see the machine kicked our butts. Well it got lucky with the 13 and when the winning number came 12 13 14, it was all over for us.
I have to come clean on the “woman’s intuition.” My friend was just sitting on the couch reading and I thought, “what the heck, lets make it interesting,” so I asked her for some numbers between 1 and 59. It’s not like she had fair warning or time to think about it or really use intuition. Although, I’ve seen em use that intuition “on the fly” so to speak, with astonishing speed and accuracy. Notice the military only started using the term “Shock and Awe” after the female population hit critical mass. I prefer not to go into the details of my personal experiences, suffice it to say I’ve been “surprised” a time or two.
I’m going to give this lottery business a rest. I would like to leave you with this interesting video of Darryl Anka channeling “Bashar” about the lottery, see http://bashar.org/ for more on Darryl and his favorite Martian..O.K Bashar is not really Martian, I’m going for a laugh.
