Hello everybody,I've pick my numbers for tonight. I usually play 10 to 20 combiantions which include all 52 numbers, but tonight I will be playing 12 combinations which include the 28 numbers and the 9 mega balls which have not been picked so far. I won't post my picks becuause I don't want anyone to confuse them with predictions. I share my picks and ideas with other posters for entertainment. Good luck to all ( players and non players).RJOh

In other words, a fire hydrant is like a 26 ANNUAL PAYMENTS ticket.

AIGGee AIG I am so glad you have cleared everything up for me. You play your game of dog pissing on fire hydrants method, I'll play what I feel are the best numbers for the week and perhaps throw an auto pick in there as well.Thanks for your input

Andy: You didn't read me. I will NEVER buy a ticket for a game where the top prize(s) are NOT paid in lump sum. Annuity-only prizes still happen because of LOTTERY CORRUPTION.

i think an average lottery player is playing for the entertainment value first in hopes of winning... if he or she doesn't at least, they've had fun.

Andy: True lottery players want to win cash (instead of an annuity).

Cash,so you'd take $175K over $10M. Hmmmm, are you okay?Also, what if there's a game (hypothetically) where you have to pick one # out of 2 #s (chances of winning is 50%). the price to play is a buck but if you match the one #, the payout is $1M annuity (over 26 years)Do you play

Buckster,there is NO system that will improve odds in the Jackpot type of games. even if you had the brains of an Einstein, your system of picking 6 #s out of 52 would have the SAME odds of my dog pissing on the first 6 #s of 52 numbered fire hydrants.don't waste time studying patterns and methods cause your odds won't change. you won't improve your chances of winning more cash - unless you buy more tickets.I hope you're clear now.

Andy: choice A. If the jackpot had NO cash option I would avoid that game like the plague.

AIGAm i clear ? Give me a break - did I say that my system works - I dont think so - did I agree that it may not have improved my odds, I think so. So you play with your deck of cards, myself and perhaps others will study patterns, methods and perhaps developing a system that will improve our chances of winning some cash. Am I clear

Cash:Pick 1: would you rather:A) match 5 #s of MM and receive $175K all at once (less mandatory tax w/h)B) win the jackpot of $10M but must take AnnuityC) Neither one

Buck,I never stated that i had a lottery system that will win. i play for fun as well. yeah, i'll definitely put down someone's method of picking #s when they CAN'T prove it really works. your 18 sets of #s have an equal chance of winning as me throwing up 52 cards #1 - 52 and randomly picking 18.am i clear

Buckeye-you're right wanting to win some _cash_ -NOT annuity.

AIGYes 5 minutes at the best. As to improving odds you may be correct - but I have chosen 18 numbers out of 52 - I am playing for fun - looking back on the previous conversations posted on this forum you seem to take pleasure out of deflating someones quest to hit the lottery and challenging their systems or process - whether it be all odd numbers, all even numbers, or 18 numbers that have hit quite frequently over the last 50 draws - I played 4 sets of the 18 and yes 1 auto pick for tonights dr...

Buck,how is that improving your odds. whether you spend 5 mins or 5 hours, you did spend time analyzing #s.how is picking the the most recently picked #s improving your odds? are you stating that if a # was picked 10X in the last 50 draws, that # has a better chance of coming up tonite rather than a # that was only picked once in the last 50 draws. if you are saying this, how do you explain this

Just trying to improve the odds - as to having too much time on my hands that is a matter of opinion - dont you think so - since it took me about 5 mintues to come up with the stats. As to the annuity or cash - who cares - I would like to see some cash either way. Thanks Buckeye

you guys have too much time on your hands to analyze #s pertaining to MM draws... guys, what's the difference of picking #s that have recently been hit more than 2X or #s that have not been hit the last 5 months. everyone has 1: 135M (when spending a buck) chance whether you use a system or you have your dog draw #s out of his food bowl.

If CA doesn't hit tonight it will DEFINITELY be higher than PB. I think it'll be hit though. The last rollover at this level was on 8/21/2002, when it rolled over from $84 million to $120 million. (And was subsequently hit on 8/24 by a few people.)Last time it was this high was an $82 million jackpot on 10/9/2002 - and it was hit that night.

Last night numbers were 13-24-26-32-47 +34. The best I did was to match 32 and 34 for $3 in ten combinations. Will try again this friday.RJOh
