| Greetings to all Royal Doulton character jug enthusiasts. You are welcomed to visit this site and take advantage of the thousands of hours of tracking and data entry of past RD jug sales on Ebay. Simply click on the hyperlink next to this introduction. The data is updated at regular intervals from Sept to June 1. In addition, the owner of this site has finally decided to open his own Ebay store. You are welcome to browse DOULTONANDMORE where you will find many jugs and other stuff for sale. The store will have 30 to 50 jugs on sale at most any time you look. In addition, there will be many rare LP Records of all types from classical to rock and jazz. Thanks for visiting. Feel free to contact the owner of this site, if you have any questions. The Summary of EBAY auctions gives statistical information on Royal Doulton character jugs. On clicking the adjoining hyperlink one will bring up a listing of character jugs owned by Dr. J. Brierly along with much information concerning average auction prices, maximum auction prices, and rarity by year. In addition, a composite rarity index is available covering the years from 1998 to present. Explanations of the headers and how to interpret the data will be found once in the document. Owing to peculiarities of the FrontPage software one may have to click OK on the security screen that appears several times before the EBAY auction data appears. In addition, a screen asking whether to invoke remote references appears after the security screen is eliminated. One should answer 'No' to the question on this last screen. Verification Test of Fantasy 5 Michigan Lottery Performed 6/8/2006 First we compute the total number of possible 5 number combinations as 575,757 were we to attempt to win the Fantasy 5 by buying all combinations. That would cost $575,757 dollars. Using Bestlot software it would have required buying 324,632 combinations at a cost of $324,632 dollars on Jul 5, 20,349 combinations on Jul 6 at a cost of $20,349, and 201,376 combinations at a cost of $201,376 on Jul 7 in order to win the big prize on the dates from Jul 5 to Jul 7 using the last 93 to 95 winning historical draws. Of course in order to compute the financial advantage one would have to find out how many winners there were on each of day and add one to that total and then divide by the total amount of money paid out for hitting the big payoff. The point of this verification test is only to prove that one has an enormous advantage in winning the Fantasy 5 big jackpot by using the software by not having to buy 575,757 tickets in order to guarantee a winning ticket on any given day. Payoffs cannot be considered until the actual draw is made and the number of winners is announced. The jackpot today Jun 8 is estimated at $328000. No one hit the big Fantasy 5 payoff on the day before. Buying 20,349 tickets to win over 100,000 dollars on July 6 would have been one nice investment everyone would have to agree. It is too bad that every day could not be like that.
