Mega Squillions

MEGA MILLIONS:
Only a single winner of the match-all-5-non-mega ball prize from last nights Mega Millions drawing...some lucky soul in Maryland. That's one happy quarter million dollar winner!! Usually there are a whole bunch of those 5 ball match winners, must not have been that many tickets sold.

PROBABILITY:
Probability, as you 'probably' know, is expressed as a number between 0 (zero) and 1 (one) with a probability of 0 (zero) being HIGHLY IMPROBABLE (impossible) and a probability of 1 (one) being a CERTAINTY. Pick up and book on probability for a more complete explanation...if you want one (it all gets pretty damn complicated)! Anyhow, the probability of matching all 5 non-mega balls in the Mega Millions game is pretty small, really small at only .000000256 (expressed as a decimal) or 0.0000256% (expressed as a percentage) chance of matching them all in a single drawing.

LAST NIGHTS MEGA MILLIONS:
In last nights MM drawing I took three sets of numbers, two non-mega ball sets I picked myself with AP (Auto Pick) Mega Ball and one set of AP (Auto Pick) for both the NMB (Non Mega Ball) side and the MB side of the Pick Grid. I matched one non-mega ball, number 53. And the one AP I played on both sides of the Pick Grid matched a single non-mega ball, number 45.

MATCHING A SINGLE NON-MEGA BALL IN MEGA MILLIONS:
The probability of matching a single non-mega ball is pretty good anyway, at 31.99% for a single drawing, not a big deal since there is no prize for matching only a single non-mega ball.

MATCHING THE MEGA BALL ONLY:
The smallest prize is the two dollar winner for matching the MB (Mega Ball) alone and the probability of matching the MB all by itself is 1/75 or about 1.33%

READING:
Anyhow, I have been chewing away on this Russel Targ book "Do you see what I see" and it is really interesting as I am smitten with the idea of retrocausality. Not to mention remote viewing, I know, it sounds kinda spooky and weird ... of course it is still considered spooky and weird!!!!! ESP and PK and PSI are considered fringe science, and of course people have been burned at the stake for claiming to be able to 'see into the future' so there is good reason to think of ESP as 'out there' or even worse (magic) but nonetheless there is a TONS of scientific evidence supporting ESP, PK and PSI and Russel Targ has been swimming in the deep end of the ESP pool for most of his life, having been the recipient of a long term government grant to study Remote Viewing.
