My system - a work in progress
Hi, I'm working on a system that I'll show here in this post. I think it has great potential but I really need some input from you guys. My imagination has run it's course and I can't seem to come up with additional markers to help flag or narrow down a pool of picks that would be reasonable and economically playable. Here's how it works... The system tries to predict a small group of numbers that will be played for a 6-way, a 3-way or a triple straight win only. This graph is track

jackpot lottery poolReply
But the problem for me is that while some pools do make more than they lose, almost all rely on quick picks, which, in my humble opinion, is the worst way to play a lottery. True, quick picks have won many jackpots, but the number is small compared to those that didn't win. I fail to understand your point. When the jackpot is the goal, there is simplicity at its finest: you win, or you loose. It doesn't matter how many lost, how many lost less then anticipated, or, lost excactly what they

STOP that noise !!Reply
I don't think anyone considered duplicates or what other people do regarding playing in the same pool. So, another play on that drum of CDs.   He goes and picks out a ticket and stands by the wall.   The other guy is his partner and asks what his odds are, CD says 175,711,535 to 1. So that guy goes and picks his ticket. He comes back and CD asks what his odds are. He says: 87,855,768 to 1 because I got the 2nd ticket! Forgetting everything else...CD shouldn't have to pay for a ticke

Once again, U.S. tries to shut down Internet gamblingReply
They're a bunch of hypocrites ! They okay OTB on horses. Why? Because some states have OTB parlors, and the govt gets it's cut of the winnings. This isn't about protecting the people from themselves (which is a ludicrous concept anyway) but it's al about the govt behind really ticked-off that it isn't able to get its hands on the winnings so it can steal it's share. According to Webster's: Steal: to take without permission or right . The govt has never asked any of us for permission t

WON! but didn't win?
That should be did NOT pitch in the pool... Lightening struck twice: and rained on my little parade: I won the December 2002 Powerball, but I could not play my numbers because my old clunker stopped and everybody was too busy doing last minute shopping to take the time to indulge me in a useless habit that I would never get anything from! Jack and I would have split that one. The state (LA) lottery when there was an $11,000,000.00 jackpot. You should not 'gamble', so I stayed ho

when do you guys play?Reply
I'm in a pool at work for Powerball and Louisiana Lotto. There are 6 of us in it and every payday, we put up $4/each and buy 2 Lotto and 3 Powerball tickets for the next 4 drawings. We've won a few small prizes here and there, but nothing big, yet. I play Louisiana Lotto myself, buying a ticket for every drawing. The prizes are smaller but the odds are better. With a minimum jackpot of $250,000, I could pay off all my debts, including my house, mortgage, etc. and be in a good position.

Lottery winner pleads innocent to ID theft, fraud chargesReply
If you didn't see it, there's a link to a previous article about the case in the related stories box, and that article has more information. If the newspaper articles are correct, the woman got a check for $33,000 and two weeks later the cops could only find $1300. If that's any indication, the most she is likely to have done is make the minimum monthly payment so that the card wouldn't be cancelled, or perhaps she only started to use the card shortly before her arrest. Either way it probably wo
