For each drawing I play 175,000 lines on paper. As the odds of winning a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot is approximately 1 in 175 million, this effectively means that my odds of winning are about 1 in 1000.

Hi mediabrat,if you do axept that your odds of winning are about 1 in 1000 than they are about 0,01% which is low,low,low...
I'd like to ask you if you use a reduced(banking pool) set of numbers for your 175 000 virtual lines or all the lottery numbers are used?
In case of reduced set which your main criteria of selection is?
