After 4 years on the job, Margaret Peggy Gordon is retiring as director of the Colorado Lottery. Gordon, who formally made the announcement on Tuesday, said her final day on the job will be June 30, the last day of the state's fiscal year. When she gets up on July 1, the first thing she plans to do is buy a Lottery ticket, which she's barred from doing as an employee.

Quick Picks can't match the power of Self PicksReply
Sorry Rehoboth, I got a little side tracked on some other projects. I'm going to respond to each of your statements as they were typed. Some of them will have details, some won't. Self picks vs Quick picks. Opening statement. The numbers are random. Open ended statement. Any patterns that you believe you are seeing are a mirage. This statement I'd have to disagree with.

NY midday and maybe eve
Just started looking at NY combined and saw Digit 7 is out in 3rd spot 57 draws. But...... besides that I wanted to look at Big Fat Filters... 50/50 for example. We have been looking at those on a Discussion Post this weekend. Nice to start off with 500 numbers instead of 1000 each day ......if you can. If you can plug in 3 or 4 of those Big Boys as filters right off the bat ......it gets you down to pretty good odds fast. Not that Pick 3 and Good odds have anything in common.
