It only takes one ticket to win. Why not put some effort into making it instead of throwing a whole lot of tickets at the game hoping one will stick.

With 20 tickets you can make a nice 4if6in12number6line wheel and take it out to 3if5in18 or 3if6in18 for only a couple more lines after which you can play all the numbers in a minimum number of lines for insurance.

If you play a game like the Ozlotteries NSW game with 2 plays for a dollar you have 40 plays to work with for the same money.

The house % doesn't mean only the jackpot payoff, the house % takes into consideration the chance of winning anything at all.

PowerBall is design so one ticket in 146,107,962 will win and MegaMillions is designed so one ticket in 175,711,536 will win. It's just unlikely that anyone will win before lots of tickets are sold. If these games were designed so no ticket would ever win, nobody would play.

Anything beyond a Pick 3 or a Pick 4 that could be hit consistently would simply be taken off the market, it wouldn't be be available to play.

No lottery (and no casino) offers any bet that the player is suppossed to win.

The house always has the edge, be it 5.26% on roulette or over 65% on lotto.

I'm keeping a record of all the previous draws and numbers I chose. What I'm realising is that out of all the numbers I've chosen not a single one matches any of the previous winning draws (pick 6/49). The closest I've got was 5 numbers on a single draw.

The only people that win are the lottery companies.

I have been playing for only about less than 4 months now. When I started I was an idiot....under the misguided notion that you could throw a lot of money and cut down your odds enough to win something. I discovered quickly that if you have enough money to play all the combinations needed to win....then ya don't need to play the lottery. A couple times I bet like $300 and got back $5.....and other times I won something...but only about half of what I spent. So I decided that was not going to wor... [ More ]

And again i am going to say, no one in the world can crack the pick5 pick6 with 20 combinations, no one, is impossible, i don't care who they are, specifically the machine that has bouncing lotto balls.

I've heard of people winning the lotteries and then claiming they got a system. I rather believe them even if is not true than to believe someone who purport they have a system and haven't won the lottery. But again guys another reason why these people may not have won the lottery is not because they can't hit the lotto but maybe because of economics. Maybe they are not economically built to make let's say $ 300 bet every time they bet? Some might have had kids before they were planning to strik... [ More ]
