I'm done playing the lotteryReply
What made me mad is that both sides blamed the other. The lottery can tell how much I spent on scratch-offs because those tickets are eligible for a second chance drawing. In their files is a list of tickets I've scanned for second chance drawing entries. But they decided they would rather stick to their guns and blame the retailer, and while they might be right according to the official rules, I also don't have to play their games. And if I do choose to buy any tickets, it certainly won

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply

Your chances of winning is 1 in 1000, because you have bet on one combination out of 1,000 equally likely combinations. Now let's say you decide to purchase a second ticket for the same drawing. You pi
