Original Blog Entry: Maxed out on 4's

Midday was: 4-14-24-27-34

I can't recall this happening before. I'm glad it happened though because it's more proof that anything is possible. Back in the day, actually not that long ago I'd never have been comfortable maxing out on numbers ending with the same number. I didn't even like two numbers ending with the same number. I just had this mental block to it.

But you have to try and remember that a number is just a number and all numbers are equal and they are all being bounced around and mixed up so every ball has the chance of being sucked up. It's just a weird coincidence that they happen to be all 4's. All those 4's look unreal but it's real. So real that THREE (3) people won midday netting a delicious 18K each.

All three of them are most likely quick picks but it would be cool if someone actually chose those numbers. It's also possible that one person played those numbers three times. I've been seeing that lately. It's a strategic move to maximise your winnings incase you have to share a jackpot.

It just occurred to me that just because I had a mental block to certain combinations doesn't mean other players don't love them. It's a big state and so many people play every day. There are people who happily play 1-2-3-4-5 every day.

I also had a mental block towards triple consecutives but I read a lottery winner story yesterday and the winner actually selected a triple consecutive 17-18-19 and won big with it.

So I guess I have been getting in my way from winning. My mental blocks might have been blocking me from winning.

Well, it's a new me going forward. I'm not scared of consecutives anymore. I'm not scared of numbers ending with the same number anymore. I'm not scared of all low numbers and all high numbers anymore. I'm not scared of evenly separated numbers anymore. I'm not scared of all even or all odd numbers anymore. I'm not scared of repeat numbers anymore even if they played the day before. I'm not scared of the number 13 anymore.

With all those hang ups no wonder I've never won before. Wait, that's not true because most of my plays throughout my Fantasy journey have been QPs. I only recently started actively picking my own numbers due to losing from QPs this whole time so my mental hang ups are not the reason why I haven't won.

But now that I don't have any hang ups maybe things might turn around for me. I will never give up on Fantasy 5. I like seeing those winner stories of older players finally winning. It's inspiration to never give up and just keep trying new strategies. When it's your time it's your time.... [ More ]
