Re: Using the Lottery to Break a Tie
[ QUOTE ]
Would this work?
If the bonus ball is 1-24 A wins.
If the bonus ball is 26-49 B wins.
If the bonus ball is 25 then there are an even number of odd and even balls remaining therefore if the first ball is odd A wins if it is even B wins.

I think you are close.
However, 1 is the lowest ball more often than 2 is. Do you see why?
3 is also the lowest ball more often than 4 is. A has a small advantage in this case.
