Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 4:39 pm Jackpot prize?
Has anyone ever won the jackpot before? if so, how many times?
If i'm not mistaken the math to it is a discrete math formula of:
either 4^10 to 1 chances
or
4 choose 10 (4!10)/4 or something like that? Let's see, i'll calc it, i thin ki have my old discrete mathematics book around from college, it has the formulaic calc in it.... sec.....
oh it's (10!(10-N)+1!) or in other words..... i still think it's off because the permutations are sequential for thet choose four combinatoric function power series.... 10!7 = 1 in 5040 chances, but i think this is for the four numbers to match but not be sequential... can you clarify geno, i getting old, and having mathematically stretched my mind in a while since engineering core classes education for my college minor was taken almost 20 years ago... lols

Hi uhdunno-new and welcome to Casino Crush!
The lotto jackpot has been won a few times over the years. I even won it once years ago (I'm overdo to win it again ) If you check back thru this thread I think you'll find where one of our members calculated the odds of winning.
Be sure to check out all the other neat games CC has to offer and cash contests that are posted each month

Dear Gabe,
I think it is probably more simple than that - there are 10,000 different combinations for the jackpot --- so the chances of winning the jackpot are 1 in 10,000.
Chances of winning CCpoints prizes of course are much better...
When you pick your numbers, the server also generates a random set of 4 numbers from 0-9 each (there's 10 to the power of 4) = 10x10x10x10 = 10,000
You can see all of our Free Lotto winners by doing the following :-
1. Click on the "CONTEST WINNERS" link on the bottom line of the top menu ...
2. Click on the button that says "All time" ...
3. You will see a list of different Contest Prize Types ... and you will see it says -FREELOTTO ($1,005) --- click on FREELOTTO and it will take you to the FREE LOTTO prizes.
And yes, it was won quite a bit more often before when we had many more active members playing the maximum number of games each day (20 games over a 24 hour period I believe) but of course each go is independent of each other game (the 'lack of memory' property of probability - i.e. the chance of winning each time is exactly the same every time).
