It just pisses me off how they despise kids who don't make straight A's.

Overall odds are just that, overall

This is from the Georgia Lottery Commission:
"Thank you for contacting the Georgia Lottery Corporation (GLC).
The Georgia Lottery goes to great lengths to ensure the security and integrity
of every game. Game symbols and prize amounts are distributed randomly during
the printing process of instant tickets. All instant games are audited by an
independent CPA firm prior to the release of a game to confirm that the
appropriate number of prizes is included in the printing process of a game.
The overall odds printed on an instant ticket are the odds of winning any prize
in the entire game. For example, if the odds are 1:4 that means there is a
winning ticket in every four tickets printed in the entire game. Since winning
tickets are randomly distributed during the printing process, this does not mean
that every fourth ticket in a roll is a winning ticket. There are multiple top
prize winning tickets, as well as multiple prize levels, available in all
Georgia Lottery instant games. Tickets are randomly distributed to more than
8,000 retailers throughout the state.
We appreciate your interest in the GLC and our games"
There is your answer.

Your math is wrong
AUTHOR: Bobby D - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 18, 2009
If the they say the odds of winning something on a scratch ticket are 1 in 4, that doesn't mean that every group of four tickets will have a winner, it means that 25% of all the tickets of that type that they ever sell everywhere will be a winner.
You could have a group of 1000 tickets with only 85 winners, or a group of 1000 with 300 winners, but there won't be a winner on every fourth ticket.
That's why it's a game of chance.
As far as your frustration with your Cash 4 numbers not winning, I would be more suspicious if there were an even distribution historically of all possible numbers.
As much as I'd like to explain it further, I won't try to get into a discussion of random numbers or Probability theory, because I suspect it wouldn't help and I just remembered I have to go poke myself in the eye with a stick.
