however

if anagram wisdom has anything to say about it,

THE SMARTEST WAY TO PLAY MEGA JACKPOT

suggests

GO SWEET MARY! JACKAL ATTEMPTS HOT PAY

probably should just throw a few dollars at it

What are you saying? That I should go into a dark bathroom with a candle and " hail speak" to the mirror?

I couldn't help but enjoy seeing

that you found the word

STORYTELLER

hiding in plain sight of the title phrase

HOW TO PLAY THE LOTTERY THE SMART WAY

my brain needed to immediately anchor it and see what more it

could it tell us

WHAT YAHOO? STORYTELLER WEPT AT MYTH

see this is why I stick to the unique BOX COMBINATIONS of

the Pick 3 game---their are easy to predict.

I'm very happy with a $41.50 win here and there.

always happy to find a another soul that likes

to mix up its letters to dig at the truth.

I don't think that is what I meant here, but

I do have a mantra I swear by

and have very excitingly recited

in a bathroom while grooming

before leaving my hotel room

for a gaming table.

Ya gotta work the subconscious mind

if you are to create that which you desire.

No candle needed.

No smarties in the shops anymore. They used to sell them forty years ago. They ran out of stock?

Its not the wheels that suck.

You cant really rely on wheels. Tight wheels are more effiecent than "loose" wheels.

If you play a two power number wheel, and the guarentee is a 3 if 5 if you get 3 of your wheeled numbers INCLUDING both the power number correct.

Well no SH!T Sherlock.

A wheel offers NO improvement whatsoever in that scenario.

Wheeling is for Whales. At $2 price point. Forget about it. Just end the game. Put us out of our misery please. They rigged it at the price.

And You expect me to use Bluskovs wheels?

Sounds Russian.

I cant do that. e

I stand with UKRAINE. Especially the White Supremacists Neo NAZI's of the Ukraine National Guard AZOV BATTALION (orignally funded by NATO and OBUMMER) against pesky gas price hiker PUTIN. Why? Reasons.

(Now being funded by Joepedo.) 81 million strong!

I always envisioned Iliya Bluskov was an old russian dude with a 3 feet beard, but I guess not.

Buy a (one) ticket. QP or self pick doesn't matter much. You probably won't win. But, it's a guarantee you won't win without a ticket (except saving the $2).

There's been many stories on LP about people that bought a ticket, forgot about it, and later learned they won thousands or millions.

doesn't matter much

If you are going to say QP dont matter or not, then dont play lotto. Their are plenty of casinos out their with machines that make fancy sounds and flashing light that cater to mindless brainless zombies.

No offense to slot players...

My mom was one and I still love her!!

She used a Gail Howard wheel back in the day that almost made us filthy rich.

Still have copies of those wheels, It was tight, I think 11 numbers in 20 lines.

Yeah. Gail Howard did say in her book, "better to get no advice at all, than to take bad advice from a fool."

The Ukraine wanted German Marder Tanks ... . Read the news for that. They don't get ammunition.

You want to use wheels? Then you need money to play them. How big should your wheels be? How much do you want to risk?

Oh...sorry...not.

I said, QP or self pick, doesn't matter much. With jackpot odds the way they are, it doesn't matter much.

BTW, over 70% of jackpot wins are QP's.

BTW, this statistic is not very meaningful without more data for context... Like, what percentage of all lottery tickets are QP's versus self picks...

I bought QPs tonight. Didn't have time to work at it.

Good point though. If 70% of the winners are QPs and 70% of the sales are people buying QPs that tells us more money is lost on QPs.
If we have 100 people buying tickets. 70 buy QPs and 30 buy self picks, 30 lose on the self picks while 69 lose on QPs.

I'm probably here unless I'm not.

On the old Powerball website in the FAQ section they addressed computer picks:

Q: WHICH HAS THE BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING: COMPUTER PICKS OR PLAYER PICKS?
A: About 70% to 80% of purchases are computer picks. About 70% to80% of winners are computer picks. Perhaps just one of those weird coincidences?

Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20120126141329/http://www.powerball.com/pb_contact.asp

In the ten years since that was published, I doubt player habits have changed that much. And I would assume that what is true for Powerball player habits also holds true, more or less, for other draw games.

And rcbbuckeye sells lotto tickets, so he knows player habits better than most.
