If you are going to do this then do it on an online site such as where the payback % is 90%. There is no way in long run you can beat a game that only has a 50% payback. Play in Iowa where they pay 60% back.

You are going to waste a lot of money unless you are lucky and or have a good way and or program to get the numbers with, I would never just try playing any numbers, I pick my numbers very very carefuly with my special system, I would never just buy any combos.

I've decided I'm going to simulate this for a week and see what happens.

NBey6 - That's true, but I think the secret may be in finding the sweet spot where you bid little enough to make a profit on as few wins as possible, but enough to make the odds worth playing.At $50 a game the odds are 50 in 1000 or 5 in 100 (unless someone is going to tell me my math is screwed up and I can't reduce that way). The difference between 5 in 100 ($50) and 1 in 10 ($100) is HUGE! On the other hand, going to $200 per game only takes the odds to 200 in 1000 or 2 in 10. Going from... [ More ]

Let's call it the it takes money to make money method.1) Generate the Pick 3 numbers with your favorite number picking software.2) Play $100 worth on EACH drawing (make certain you are playing 100 unique numbers... no duplicates).3) Play them straight, so you get $500 if you hit.4) Do that for a full week (let's say six days), twice a day if your lottery has two Pick 3 drawings each day.You'd spend at most $1200, with the potential to win $4800 profit (taking out the $100 you're spending each...
