  Thanks. I really think some really reach for that golden apple to help them win a lottery that had millions of combinations.

  I like to pick my numbers and I have a "system" for picking them, but I have no illusions that my way is the highway to a jackpot win. Could be, might be. But the fact is QP's win way more than self picks, simply because most  people play QP's. I do too.

  For tonight's TX Lotto I picked 5 lines randomly, leaving out numbers that were drawn the last draw. But for tonight's 2-Step game I got 2 QP's. I don't care how I win. I just want a nice jackpot like anyone else. I choose how to play just for fun. Inner strength? If some want to use that, that's ok.

  JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

  "I like to pick my numbers and I have a "system" for picking them, but I have no illusions that my way is the highway to a jackpot win."

  Me too! But usually the best I get is four out of five on 5/39 games and a couple five out of six (20 years ago) on a 6/49 Ohio Lotto game. Matched five a couple times using abbreviated wheels possibly the lottery's way of saying "it's not as easy as you think".

  I'm pretty sure "Winning the JACKPOT", Meatman means the multi million jackpots and why I voted "Luck". Matched four without the powerball number when many matrix changes ago when the multiplier cost $2 and was a fix amount.

  Good luck!!

  I believe that winning the jackpot is my destiny. I just haven't fulfilled my destiny yet.

  I voted for Destiny, simply because I like the word DESTINY, I think its a persuasively hypnotic word,

  yet I think the truth is

  its a matter of all three FATE, LUCK, DESTINY but more over INTENTION. 

  I wouldn't play if I didn't intend to win. 

  I never gamble unless I have the Luck of the Stars in my Favor

  there is a time for everything under the Sun.

  Probability math is great! I hope it works out for you. I'm familiar with the Heisenberg Principle.

  29 votes thus far, 17 for luck. 

  Speaks volumes.

  Regardless of the means used to pick numbers (or not pick, VIA QPs) whenever the numbers you played match the numbers drawn it's just plain old luck.

  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.

  The more I think about it, doesn't make much sense playing lottery games unless we feel we're "destined to win".

  Yep. I would think most people who play lottery games feel "destined to win" or feel they have God on their side.
  
  Personally, a win is possible if I play smart and take my shots at the right time. And that depends mostly on what I see in the numbers and the confidence level attached.

  Two sides to every story.
  Just because you claim God as on your side, doesn't mean God claims to be on your side.
  
  God is not the micro-manager you want him to be. If he were all you'd have to do is count the number of people praying for a given team on any given day and know who would win every game.
  
  Test it. A gallon of gas won't take you cross country. But with God on your side Georgia to California on one gallon of gas sounds doable. Wanna try?
  
  Of course, if you're a Pastafarian you have a built in excuse since the Great and Wonderful Flying Spaghettio only works on Sunday.

  Didn’t you watch the Wizard of OZ to the End $tats?

  How many times did you have to block out the vision of your Mom’s Slippers under the Curtain.  Try as she would she could not give her little Tin Man a brain even with all of that Math. 

  Preaching about Math, Claiming persecution by the Dark Side and showing such Tiny Tricks is not going to make you the Lottery Preacher Man of the Year.  I’d say more like Jim Jones (pre Koolaid). 

  OZ be With you $tats.
