There is no guaranteed system... but careful observation of past data can be useful in eliminating possible choices.I think we can all agree that (although not 100%, but close enough).. it is a safe bet that the numbers drawn in one game will not all carry over to the very next draw...It would be nice to get lucky just once and match 'em all... but I have seen far better results using my own system (no matter how flawed it may be) vs. QPsI'm trying out my R.A.W.

You have a valid point and it makes a lot of sense but I still think that he doesn't decide who win's the Lottery or not it's there for who ever wants to take a crack at it whether you ask for his help or not you can still win it.

the bible says that the rain falls on the just and the un-just (that God blesses the righteous as well as the wicked). the bible also describes (in ecclesiastes) how it is God who gives specific talents/abilities to get wealth to every man that he desires, including the Godless. obviously the Godless do not give him credit, while believers do. God decides the parameters, not us. for face value it would seem unfair that God would allow someone who was evil or in the case of jack whittaker

Everybody that played had just as much chance at winning as everybody else. Regardless of what numbers you have. If you won could you say it was luck. maybe.
