Need numbers for my birthday!
There's an article about this on Yahoo right now. It says yes and no, Western astrology uses the zodiac, not constellations, so for Westerners their signs don't change. Western astrology -- which uses the zodiac -- has its signs fixed to the seasons. Most Westerners, and all those horoscope pages we eagerly check, go by the zodiac. These signs follow what early astrologers called star signs, whose reference points are the tropics that form a ring around the earth. The zodiac is based on ou

How to win at the Georgia $20 instant game, Maximum Green
Wow, that is rough and I am sorry to hear of it. Remember, though, it could always be worse. I think Lotteries (casinos, and pretty much anything good in life) are designed for exactly that: lure you in with a good win, only to set you up for failure to crash and burn. I had a similar experience earlier this year with the TN Milliionare ($20) games but luckily in the end I recouped half of my loss, called it a day and deposited the $ in the bank (it spanned 2 or 3 days though, but I am 'ha

Vt. Lottery computer glitch creates extra winners
Just to keep the facts straight here is what the article said: Linda Hebert says she didn't think twice when she purchased two nearly identical computer-generated Fast Play tickets... According to the VT lottery website, this is a Fast Play.

Vt. Lottery computer glitch creates extra winners
the article clearly states the event was SYSTEM WIDE. In a system that was running the same program on lots of identical terminals. I'm hardly an expert on programming, but the basic concept is really simple: a very stupid machine follows a lot of short, simple instructions very rapidly. The machine doesn't make any decisons of its own, but only does exactly what the instruction tell it to do. Independent machines executing identical instructions will produce identical results. Perhaps you'

My digit system for pick-5 or pick-6 lottery
GiveFive, I guess I've become a persona non grata in this thread. At the risk of being struck by lightning, I would like to make another comment. A lot of what is being posted here as a result of the blow-up I seemed to have precipitated is quite factual. Some of it is questionable logically, and some of it is no more than folksy philosophy. However, I'm not here now to address those issues. For the sake of discussion, let's forget about the mathematics of probability for now. It's true that

My digit system for pick-5 or pick-6 lottery
RL, There is one unequivocally true statement in your Post above: In a game with 100,000 possible sets the odds of winning are 1 in 100,000 for each set played. If 2 sets are played by the same person then this person has a 2 in 100,000 chance of winning based on the odds. Unfortunately, I either can't agree, or I'm completely baffled by most everything else. E.G., what value is there in pointing out the obvious fact that you must buy a ticket to win? Most people play lot

Do you believe in "lucky" stores?
No you haven't. You spin like a cetrifuge, and oscillate like a broken arpeggiator. God has been working on the children issue. http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2010/05/24/Significant-drop-in-child-death-rate/UPI-76021274681973/ Significant drop in child death rate Published: May 24, 2010 at 2:19 AM Article Listen Comments Share SEATTLE, May 24 (UPI) -- The number of deaths in children age 5 and under worldwide dropped from 12 million in 1990 to 7.7 million in 201

Would you play 90 to win
I beg to differ with your last statement. If the system is consistent and you're spending more to make less profit, then this is considered an UPSIDE DOWN PROFIT. This type of system, though, has higher consistency and will be more dependable...hence recovering the investment entirely enroute to actually making money. I've played this way before and it works. See, everybody has it all wrong about PROFIT and MAKING MONEY. Consistency will offset having to try and make all the money at one time

Do you think the stock market play a part in the lottery?
No, but they are one in the same with one exception. Stocks can be purchased low and increase on their own while still based on that same low, initial invested because it's DEMAND-BASED and not fixed. Lottery games have fixed odds which do not fluctuate ever and thereby require the players to adjust the return profits themselves via carefully designed systems. A low buy in on lotto games will typically get you nowhere, in all reality, unless you're very lucky as so many here say...and this is

Does anyone here know what happened to Brad Duke?
The below really stuck out in the article. But he never anticipated the freakshow that would meet him back in Idaho. Strangers began to appear at Gold's to meet Duke. A flood of business proposals and letters began rolling in. Some people around him inevitably became jealous, says Duke's longtime friend and now personal assistant, Rachel Aldous, and accused him of being greedy or arrogant. When Duke found himself hiring security to keep people from camping on his relatively modest lawn, he re
