I can't believe how close I was with the so random liability amount 5M and their response was 5.5M

Is that a sign for me to go and buy a ticket?

Thanks for the info.

The state where I live doesn't have any pick whatever games, I guess I would have won $100 if we had such.

I sent an email to the Md lottery a couple years ago asking that same thing. This is what they said.

I totally love this - you have said it so well.

The worst part is that your mind is flooded with a seductive chatter that strokes your Ego instead of your intelect. The echo of this chatter can stiffle your intuition. A Waite until I Post this thought takes over diverting you from your quest to win to a desire (requirement) to explain. It's a drag that slows you down.

I always tell people that when playing the lottery, two things are at stake (Time and Money)

Out of curiosity, do those games pick 3,4 etc have a limited liability for each drawing. Let's say the total they can pay out per drawing is for instance 5M? Or do they just pay out as much as is won with no limit

Hahaha, I totally love your perspective, especially the part on sharing it would be taking money out of their pocket.

The idea that if another person wins on pick 3, it does not impact the amount you would win since it doesn't get split is a very solid point.

I can therefore conclude that we could have folks who have systems geared towards the bigger jackpots, but that they prefer to use the same at a personal level.

I totally agree with you on the low hanging fruits.

I bet it's a wiser move to pursue a 1/1000 odds than 1/300M.

The state am in does not have any of the pick 3,4 etc games. We also don't do scratchers. We have the multi state games and I promise you that I won't waste my time trying to master those. All I do is get my QP and call it a day

Thanks on the advice on setting a budget. I do that and each month I use half the budgeted amount.

Secondarily, sharing a jackpot system can be a massive headache for the poster. It seems easy until someone wants personal attention, or someone wants it customized for the game they play, or people start asking if it works for other games, being asked to pick numbers for a game you know nothing about, and having to explain time again what certain things mean, or how things work, or where did you come up with whatever, why you don't use such and such, or you should use such and su...

Excellent point on splitting a big jackpot. To the OP, in Pick 3 and 4 games, you get full payout for each dollar spent, regardless of how many people hit the winning number. For example, you develop/follow a winning system for Pick 3 and play a $1 bet ten times for your number which comes up. You win ten times the single dollar payout. Spend the same $10 on PB and you could win multiple times on the smaller prizes, but the top prize jackpot gets split between all of the players who played all t... [ More ]

I'm in agreement with the odds are lowest of any game. It also the least expensive game.

Years prior you would see more jackpot game systems in that forum, but that passed for several reasons.

Primarily because people realized if hey had a winning system (a system that won jackpots) sharing it would be taking money out of their pocket.

With say, $200,000 payout, and 3 or 4 winners, that jackpot doesn't seem so sweet. And the national games seem more geared to deep pockets and large g... [ More ]

I'm far from expert on all things lottery, but to answer your question I'd say Pick 3 and 4 are considered lower hanging fruit. Much easier, in theory, to win on a 1,000 to 1 odds game than the comparatively astronomical odds for PB or MM.

You also raise a good point on systems that generate 100+ candidate numbers on any given day. Many/most posts in the prediction forums show many more candidate numbers to play than you could actually play and end up winning more money than you'd spent. Wha... [ More ]

No prob. The Systems forum is just for discussing the ways specific systems work.

Thanks Todd. Wasn't sure if it was a discussion post or a systems post. Thanks for the direction.

Other Systems besides Pick 3,4 etc.

JustMaybe — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 16:23:03 GMT

I have observed that there is more emphasis on systems that are geared towards Pick 3 and 4.

Is it because the odds are better?

Are there systems for PB, MM or Lucky/Cash for Life?

Or do the high odds make it a long shot in the dark?

Just asking.

Another observation, if the Pick 3 or 4 prediction that someone is giving from their system involves 50 or 100 different combinations, mmh I don't know what to say about that. I would be inclined to believe a system that gives 10 or... [ More ]
