What's a lucky ticket in lottery? What's the success formula? 

Here's my short analysis! Enjoy 😉! 
   • I win more often when I don't agonize over patterns, spread sheets, or waste hours on analysis-paralysis - don't do this. Maybe you are still doing this? Stop. You win MORE, when you have a simple strategy that is enjoyable quick and is a "minimal effort" kind of strategy that doesn't involve struggle. If you currently struggle with your complex strategy, or maybe you have multiple strategies and software and you think it has to be complicated - stop! Work towards developing a simple and quick working strategy that brings you joy. A monumental effort doesn't equal results. Not in love, not at work - and  not even in fitness. End of story.
   • The Best Strategy. I'm a day trader. So I know more about patterns and charts than I care to admit. But I only use 1-2 working setups. I have access to hundreds of strategies and  wasting my time on them would get me nowhere. So what strategy is the best  "winning strategy"? In short - you want to minimize losses, maximize gains, calculate risk to reward ratio, and be consistent. So long story short, the strategy in lottery is the same principle you would apply in any financial situation. It's not a rocket science.

Let's take Johnny - his strategy yields him 1-2 balls on average per each draw. And lets take Jill - her setup comes up less frequently but she hits 4-6 balls consistently. Which strategy is better? Johnny wins $ every draw so he pays  $10 for 5 tickets and wins on 2-3 of them. Sometimes he wins $8, and sometimes $12, so he plays mostly at a loss of $2, or he pockets $2 per draw - $2x3=$6. $6x4=$24 is his profit for the month.

Now Jill wins on average once-twice a month at $$120-200 per winning ticket (depending on the jackpot). There are maybe less "endorphins " or happy feelings from frequent wins. But you can't pocket feelings. Not to mention that if you see your setup come up less frequently but you are patient like a hunter who awaits for his opportunity- then even with investing $20/once a week - the upside is also bigger. With even bigger upside potential.

Not to mention that if you keep refining your strategy and making it like a quick Swiss Army knife that you sharpen once in a while (not all the time) - this little tool will serve you well in the long run. Just stick to this tool and don't switch it up, or you won't be able to actually properly learn to use it. 

The moral of the story: chose a strategy with the highest reward /upward potential even if it doesn't hit every draw.

Key Takeaways: Be patient, be consistent, don't chase feelings. Success is Inevitable!
