There is really no difference between 1 and 1000 tickets if luck is against you. Curry was lucky to win this big with one ticket, that's all. A few jackpots ago I believe the guy bought $20 worth of tickets and one won.

You are arriving at the right conclusion, but you are getting there the wrong way.

Think about this. If you buy more than one ticket, you're not sure if any One of those tickets will be a winner. Having doubt will negatively affect any scenario.

If you buy only one ticket, your focus is 100% on one combo. Look at the numbers for a while, maybe 5 minutes.

My next project is to force myself to repeat numbers like a soft mantra in my head. It's not easy, especially if I'm driving or doing some other task/s.

I wonder if LP members would be interested in a mass focus on a... [ More ]
