This is my hero. I want to be just like him when I grow up. I just love the pick 4 game.      

20 x 1 dollar tickets equals 100 grand, wonder if this story is a miss print he had to spend 100 bucks to win 500 grand

Oh Four,

I thought this lucky man was you!!!!!

P.s.  You're quite right, Maryland Lottery officials must not know what the payout is for a $1.00 ticket.

He spent $100 on the same number.  That is kinda step but I guess well worth it hey.

I have been trying to do the same thing myself but with only $10.  And I am playing it two way.  That will be over $26,000 if it comes up straigh and  $2400 if it comes up box.  Hopefully my numbers will come up like his did soon. haha

It looks like he played $5.00 on each ticket and won $25,000.00 for each one, nice call.

Well ok he did play 20 tickets...sorry just read that...but anyway he must of played it $5 straight on each ticket.  Can you do that in Maryland?

Brad

Should have asked for 100 $1 tickets. Then maybe there would not have been any withholdings.

I wish

I should be so lucky if my p4 loser number comes out i'll get 25 g's. I kills me that some people have that kind of luck. Once in a while when my pick looks like it might come in i'll put 10 or 20 on it. Got it boxed a lot of times but it has never hit straight. I wonder if this guy is a poster maybe he'll let us in on his method. I cant zero in on a pick 4 straight to save my butt.

CashOnly no way to avoid the taxes on his win anything over 600 bucks is taxed.

$100 straight on a pick 4 seems really risky. I doubt this is the first time this person played that way. Hopefully he won't keep it up as a daily habit to try to repeat his winning.

I watched a whale in Tunica at the Grand one night in 1998, the pit boss brought him a tray worth $250,000.00 and he was at a table by himself playing $17,500 a shot on Roulete, after losing 4 spins in a row he lost $70,000, then he hit the red 25 twice in a row and walked out with $1,242,500.00, I guess ya just have to pick a set of numbers and stick with em, never play if you can't afford to lose.  Gut hunches are good if you don't lie to yourself, if you do you can never trust yourself!.

It didn't say how he chose the numbers, if he used any algorithms or just favorite numbers. REMEBER, HE WON MIDDAY AND ALSO ANOTHER TIME BEFORE. For every person that wins big like that there are thousands more who spend $100/day and only win back a fraction of it over a long time. With algorithms you have a better shot. The "20 tickets" must have each had the number several times on it. I often see discarded tickets like that, the same # several tickets. Usually done to avoid paying tax if it comes out boxed. One time I played a # for 1.00 STR and asked if I really meant to do that. Also unfortunately in nj if someone played that many on a Pick 4 and it came out the per-ticket payout would be minuscule because it's pari-mutuel instead of fixed like MD, PA, NY.

There are some players that will play only one number for a large amount every drawing straight until it hits. Right now in Delaware someone is playing for the night draw only about $70 straight on 1947. Being a small state , they have a low cutoff of $350,000. Every night this number is cutoff, so I know that it is almost certainly one person that is doing it, though there are bound to be a few others that play that number also. This person just buys up all that he can around 5:30 every night. I assume that he must play a few dollars for the day draw to perhaps just get the money he's spending back in case it comes out during the day.  I don't care for straight 4 digit play myself  because of the taxes. I prefer to find a number to play boxed and play multiple tickets. I got lucky last week hitting 1195 for 6 one dollar boxed tickets for $2496 and two days later hitting 5859 for 4 one dollar boxed tickets for $1664.  No taxes to pay there.

Since he hit $3,000 on Midday the same day, it is obvious $100.00 was not alot to gamble to him.

pick 4 is the money game.just 10 bucks on a number can net you 50 grand....
