Your Lottery Ticket
If I asked you. " Do you know what the odds are of winning the European Lottery?" You probably would not even be able to hazard a guess. It is in fact 116,541,800 to 1. There is a way to reduce these odds. If I told you that there are 30 main ball numbers from which the 5 main numbers have come out and scored 60 times for the winning jackpots in 525 draws. Which is about once every 8 to 9 draws. The odds from these 30 numbers is142,506 to 1. So picking 5 main numbers out of 30 plus covering all the star balls over six lines for a total odds of 855,036 to 1. Which would with 5 winning main numbers guarantee you a minimum of 2 lines with five numbers in each line, with each line having at least one Star Ball each. Your winnings might likely be a total of between £0.4 million and £3 million. Worst still, you could even hit the jackpot.
Lotteries for Education
Lotteries are widely used to decide places (seats) at schools, colleges and universities. Conall Boyle explores many examples to find out why. The emotional turmoil that the use of ballots can cause to students and parents alike is graphically described. But lottery selection teaches lessons too; now we can find proper answers to controversial questions like "Does choice work?" This book will be of interest to parents, pupils and teachers as well as educational administrators. Any student applying for admission to a university course should learn about the amazing weighted lottery for entry to medical schools in the Netherlands. There is a better way: it's a lottery!
Lotteries in Public Life
Lotteries have been used to make all kinds of public decisions ever since the days of Ancient Greece. They can contribute to some of our most important values, such as rationality, justice, and democracy. But until recently, there was no theory to make sense of lotteries and what they can do. The past few decades have changed that with a veritable renaissance of studies on lotteries. This book collects fourteen of the most important of these papers, and offers a critical introduction tying them together.
Lotteries
Economic pressure on states in the 1980s have led a number in this country to market lotteries in an unprecedentedly aggressive manner. This book was inspired by the author's experience with the New Jersey state lottery during a period of major growth. Karcher examines lotteries from a historical, psychological, and philosophical perspective, offering a reflective and cogent explanation of their popularity. He looks at the fluctuating popularity of state-sponsored gambling and the consequent peaking and fattening of revenues, exposing the measures lottery commissions sometimes take in order to increase revenues.Self policed lottery commissions, he predicts, will resort to marketing abuses and increasingly prey upon the poor if they are given unbridled power to act. Karcher suggests thoughtful, easily implemented, and constructive reforms. As more state governments inevitably turn to lotteries as a way out of tax dilemmas, this book will contribute to the public discourse on this important policy issue.
