Right after I retired, MegaMillions and PowerBall weren't available in Ohio so when ever their jackpots were more than $100M I drove to Michigan to get some BigGame tickets and to Indiana to get some PB tickets. On several occasions, my former co-workers gave me $300-$500 to pick up QP tickets for their lottery pools. I had a chance to track how well my personal picks did against their QPs and my personal picks usually did as well as their QPs or better. I believe when playing more than 5 lines,

Texas Daily 4 for upcoming week??Reply
You said you are pretty good at picking jackpot games numbers??? Thats commendable but have you won any jackpots lately???. What methods or systems do you use to pick your combinations, if you don't mind me asking???. I won three dollars last week on picking the bonus ball for the powerball game, a GP. I did not win anything else, I played all the jackpot games and the daily 4 everyday (evening only ) but no success yet. I hope you win big this week. Thanks. AL .

Gail Howard info., circa 1991Reply
When we consider the top prizes when Gail Howard began, she had to hit one jackpot a year to match what she could make selling lottery information. In 1983 there were very few lotto games, the top prize for most of them was under $1 million and those were divided into 20 yearly payments. As lottery games grew, the market was there and Gail made a nice living selling lottery information. Today with all the multi-million jackpots and if Gail is still working 18 hours a day on her methods, she p

Well, for one thing the system works. The second thing is I'd do it for the bragging rights and to also let other people in on the trick. Getting paid for the info is just capitalism. Not everyone trying to make a buck is a scammer. Remember, she's not claiming that she can pull off consistent jackpots. She said she can pull off consistent wins and that's the truth.

Vacationing man wins $1M scratch-off lottery jackpotReply
Mr. Bravo won $100.000.00 in 1994 and he continues to play. Maybe he'll be as lucky as the woman from Texas that won 4 jackpots and win a few more. There seems to be a lucky streak going on now days..(how do I get on?)

Do you believe in "lucky" stores?Reply
Since Manhattan is about 5 hours away I have to use stores around me that seem to win lot, and that would be Wegmans for Take 5. Lately they have had most of the local Take 5 Jackpots so I try to play there any time I can. Other than Wegmans for Take 5, I play stores in-which the clerks KNOW how to run the machines. But it is fun to watch a newbie get the 'Sold Out' screen on the new machines, they just stare at the machine till I say 'yea I know trips are sold out'

How The Winners, Not Numbers, Are Picked. A Theorem.Reply
You're correct, duplicate QP numbers can an do exist. In New York, it's not uncommon for duplicate QP numbers to win jackpots. NY lottery tickets are paid on a pari- mutuel basis. If there are two jackpot winners, the jackpot is split 50/50 regardless of what type(s) of ticket won.

Powerball and Mega reset coincidence
Is it me or does it seem that within 1 or 2 draws of eachother, the PB and MM jackpots are hit and then reset? I have seen MM get hit, reset then get hit again more frequently too. There doesn't seem to be a dry spell that goes on for a month where one of the two just gets to an ungodly amount.

Lotto Max ticket sales on fire as lottery hits recordNews Story
It's a curious pop culture phenomenon that the richer the lottery jackpot, the bigger the frenzy it creates at retail outlets. If you need proof, look no further than Canada's Lotto Max multi-province game this month. On Friday, the nine-month-old lottery is poised to award the biggest aggregate jackpot in Canadian lottery history as its top prize remains at $50 million for the fourth week in a row. (No jackpot-winning tickets were sold during the last three weeks.) But that's not all.

Kalamazoo mart customer holds $36M lottery ticketReply
Maybe he is playing in a family pool. Lets say 10 people putting $5 each for every draw. When you play multiple tickets your chances of winning increase big time. But you tend to loose more in the short run. I guess i'm cheap, but i can't stomach losing $50-$60 per drawing. I have seen many people hitting second prizes and jackpots for powerball and mega millions with $1 quick pick. I can't visualize winning when i bet more than $5.
