Backtesting and Simulating Lottery SystemsReply
Jimboo-boo!!!!!! RL has told you the truth. There is no conspiracy among the people who talk off board. RL and I share some common ideas about jackpot games in which he has been more than willing to assist. I've stated in the past that I don't play Cash 5, never bought a ticket for it, and that's the truth. The story about the old computer? Entirely true. The old XP machine is used to crunch data. Not connected to the internet. I also have a laptop with Vista, which I truly hate, and this

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
lol! Some places get so bad, I feel like taking a curtain with me and erecting a voting booth style privacy barrier. This hawk watched me approach and was staring at the money in my hand...maybe that quickly she calculated whether I had enough on me to buy her Monopoly's or some 5x the Money tickets...I was not there for the $1 tickets. She could have had all of those, she probably would have done much better. 8 Monopoly's put her down $40 bucks. Out of that same machine, the good

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Concerning the new batch for February, no truer words have been written. Horrible tickets...all of them. lol I looked at a Mega Multiplier ticket today and left it there. I looked at the Pot O Gold and could only think: Demon. I looked at the Hershey Kisses and almost threw up. I looked at the 20x the Money and almost attacked the machine. I figured I better leave, obviously I wasn't in a good mood. I'll try later on tonight. For some reason, nothing was calling me this

Need a new strategy and motivationReply
James I wish a voice in my head would tell me which ticket to buy and that it would be a million dollar choice. I'll tell you what you need to do..just buy 2 - 4 and stop. I don't mean for the day, I mean at that machine or counter. Don't buy up to the winner. I think what's happening is you're stuck on bad packs or stuck with the idea the winner is there somewhere....the problem is: you do not know who was there before you and whether they won $1,000 or $20 or $500. You also cannot tel

Are Auto Picks for Mega Millions and Power Balls Generated at The Retailer's Terminal?Reply
Wai....wait....you're typing so fast and furious and then point out you are not making a public appeal to have your English graded? Very interesting. So, ummmmm, jimmy-like. Since you've estalished you want a reasonable discussion, I'll put my points on the table. We'll use your original post to do so. I'm less tactful than Todd who suggested you speak to the lottery director. And I will say straight up, I see no evidence that you have made any effort to get direct answers from Michigan. ANY

Scratch off methods.Reply
Anyone feel free to tell me their strategy, not only on scratch offs, but online draw games as well. Here is what I have had the most success with right now. I will spend $10 at a time usually, and I will purchase 2 separate $5 tickets. There are several reasons for this. 1) If I buy 4 $5 tickets, and win $20, then I have just wasted my time. Sure I broke even, and that alone is grounds for celebration sometimes, especially after a hard losing streak, but I still made no money. 2)I buy a l

Michigan Lottery pays out record $268.6 million on two multi-state jackpots won a week apart By Todd Northrop So who bought the huge winning lottery ticket at the porn shop in Highland Park?

I didn't buy it, Greer said today. I never play. I'm sorry. Greer acknowledged he was being intentionally vague abou

NC Instant Ticket Players, good info for you and comments wantedReply
Yes, it is very possible. First, I buy 99% of my tickets from the vending machines at the grocery store. I know store employees stock them, usually the manager and one other person. This would cut down on the possibility of them scanning the tickets since they don't have the time. I have pulled many winners from these machines, probably since they are untouched . I have also noticed that many of the gas stations that sell lottery tickets usually have a few loose tickets tucked into the dispe
