Chewie, I think if there were a system no one would share it or someone would be wealthier than Bill Gates because they would sell it in which case the jackpot would NEVER rollover. Hehe. I see the same as you do Chewie, the persistant winner or the lucky sucker. I think 7 out of 10 it's the lucky sucker. That's from most of my reading it's some sclub like me who just purchases on a whim. Jack though, he was one of us, he was a perisistant winner.

Has there ever been a multimillion dollar winner that used - and admitted to using - a mathimatical system? I'm not asking about the third or fourth tier, but the BIG one.Most of the real winners I remember fell into two limited categories. Playing the same number over and over; usually a combination of birth dates, or wedding dates, or something similar. A spontaneity Quck Pick purchase, be some where and buy a ticket because the urge was there. and the occasional person who rotates several sli... [ More ]

It is random, anyone who spends to much time trying to figure it out is wasting his/her time. IMHO. I'm sure there are millions of people trying to figure out something that works, some system, then while this person is doing that another person comes along and buys a quick pick with a loaf of bread and wins. Lotto = random

Well I live in California and the big jackpot winners do not have a system. In their interviews, it's just random or last minute thing for them to buy a ticket.My mom's acquaintance won a $40,000,000 jackpot. She FORCED her daughter to buy a couple of tickets at some restaurant they were eating at, but her daughter was reluctant cause she wanted to use that money to buy some snacks. They got into a quarrel over it, but the mother kept insisting and fortunately for all of them, they bought the Lo... [ More ]

The odds are, the guy in New Jersey who won the big one, is not a regular, stopped off for a coffee or lunch meal, and hit with Quick Pick - then never gave it another thought. Hopefully it is some one who will have time to enjoy the power and pleasure that much money can bring.

I have tried everything I could think of; different stores, different towns, different states, single tickets, same tickets, one from each store, using my numbers, quick picks, buying the last few minutes, buying 100 tickets at once(like Jack), buying one ticket and a gallon of milk(like the army guy). LOL. I think I've tried everything and still I sit here broke with the rest of you. Hehe. In a seriousness, I don't think it matters one but, your time is your time. With that I'll keep playing be...

Probably no more often than waiting for the last 30 minutes.

Personally I don't play daily games (pick 3,4 or keno). Keno has the worst odds out of any game, unless it's roulette, then that's the worst of them all. To gamble is just that, to gamble on the chance of winning. I take a gamble each and everyday that some fool out there in a car isn't going to hit me and kill me, does that mean the other drivers out there in society have no Integrity? I don't think so!The games of today have much more integrity than any game has ever had in the past. Of course... [ More ]

I think they're smart enough to not make the field of numbers 100. As someone else in Lottery Post once said, the matrix is a double-edged sword. Sure, if they increase the matrix, they will probably increase the average jackpot size, but on the other hand, they may significantly decrease the number of players who buy tickets at low jackpot levels. For instance, Powerball sold 4 million tickets less than normal for last night's drawing for $80 million.

it doesnt matter! Why dont they just make the field of numbers 100 and just rake in the money----we have no chance, everyone just sits back and takes it. There is nothing u can do until some politician gets involved--and that wont happen. Money in society is worth more than integrity. For God sakes, daily games are rigged so bad u cant win. Odds are bad enough in an honest game!Lottery is just not fun when its controlled. We are in a mess
