The Great thinker Yogi Berra’s is well known for what he describes with his 50th best known statement.

50. A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know.

Below are a few that I think apply to the Lottery.

2. You can observe a lot by just watching.

There is a lot in this one. I just took a look at the Abbreviated Wheels here on LP and Observed a Lot. Any other examples?

17. The future ain’t what it used to be.

Maybe the most profound statement ever made. Especially when applied to the Lottery.

22. Pair up in threes.

Sounds like a Pick 3 Strategy

24. You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.

Rabbit Holes

25. All pitchers are liars or crybabies.

Sounds like the Bull Pen here on LP.

28. He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious

Not sure this applies to the Lottery but, it’s how things are.

31. I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads.

That’s what some of Biden’s Nominees told Congress.

Awesome. I love Yogi-isms.

"Baseball is 90 percent mental, the other half is physical"

"Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."

How do they apply to the lottery, other than the lottery is absurd as Yogi-isms are? I don't know.

Well Done Allen B. hYogi always made solid sense even with a dash of tongue in cheek humor "-)

Yogi Berra — predictions are really hard to make,

especially about the future.

Here's another one.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Lottery meaning. Are you gonna play it or not?

When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend? Good Luck!!!

90% hard work and the other half is skill, my favorite.

I asked the same question, still waiting on the answer.

Another,

If I don't want to go you can't make me

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Aye Coin Toss, I like that one

And here is a non yogi but on the principle you mentioned-

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion.

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing.

When you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors.

When you see that men get richer by graft and pull, than by work and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you.

When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice,

you may know that your society is doomed" - AYN RAND

35. I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

This one is for you $tat$

40. So I’m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face.
