Playing numbers is work, if you are not prepared to do the work to win YOU WON'T. I have hundreds of books where I keep track of what's played state to state. Every state is different, some easier than others but it's work no doubt.

You must like to mess with numbers and have some type of knack for numbers. Keep massive notes and track everything that happens so that you know by default what to do based on experience. I good lottery player can tell you what played off the top of their head within the last week.

It helps to be sharp and focused, learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat the same bad behavior that had you losing. I find that people never smarten up and keep doing the same thing that will have them lose thinking it will change. You are supposed to change with the game. This is not hard it just takes some dedication.
