Mathematics and the LotteryReply
YES... once again math does factor in,but in bits and pieces of equations to come up with a number or percentage. For those in disbelief it is because you won't hit all the time, just like the best NBA player with knowledge of how to play will take the best shot and hit like I do in the Lottery regularly and win!!!

Interesting somethig like the NBA draft would be brough up in a thread trying to refute superstition. Sports, gambling, and entertainment are full of superstition.
