Congrats! I'm sure she considers all of her wins jackpots whether they are big or small.

In all of the times I won anything over a few dollars, it was with one of my systems. Do an honest backtest of your system vs. a RNG method (if you're a programmer or know one). Whatever you are using needs to overcome whatever the takeout ratio is. In nj it's 50 percent on the daily number games, that is you need to win twice as often as the odds indicate just to break even! Less numbers are better than more (don't bet against yourself too much, play #s in harmony like STR with matching PAIRs... [ More ]

October 2002, Rowell won a Dodge Ram Quad-cab pick-up truck.

Earlier in 2004 she won $1,500 on the 15th Anniversary scratch ticket.

July 2004, won $15,000 playing in the Lottery's 15th Anniversary Game Show.

2005, she won a Pac-Man video arcade through another second chance draw.

Rowell claimed her $110,000 winning Wild Card check Friday morning from the Idaho Lottery

Winning 5 jackpots doesn't always mean winning a pile of money, I would be just as happy matching 5+0 in the MegaMillio... [ More ]

I think it's safe to say that second-chance drawings offer your best odds of winning. Most of those promotions are based on the number of entries received. They may involve smaller prizes, but have fewer potential winners. Look for promotions that are unpopular, or try to guage which drawing the fewest people are entering. I'm thinking of a second-chance promotion that Missouri did with the MLB games. The Cardinals are by far the most popular team in the state, so more tickets were produc... [ More ]

Jarasan started a thread asking what we consider to be a jackpot and I thought of this news article when I read it. Did she win a jackpot 5 times? Yes, but what did the total add up to after years of playing? Hey, this lady is awfully lucky and I'd love to win even the one prize of $15,000 to catch up, but her 5 jackpots don't add up to one Fantasy 5 jackpot, and certainly not a Lotto win.

Captain Lotto is absolutely right. Many of our members dream about hitting $100M in PB or MM but many... [ More ]

It's true that people who play more often, win more often. She is probably a regular.

From my experience, those folks aren't interested in doing the math, paid out to payout. They are in it because they like the action. Winning is just the icing on the cake.

Yep if she had played $50 a week (which is pretty darn easy to do when you start buying scratch-offs) for the past 10 years, she'd only have invested $26,000. So maybe she paid for the truck. Bet she's ahead, just wish I knew how much she plays.

I won every day this past week starting with $12 in my pocket last Sunday and after last night's win I ended it up with $20 in my pocket. If I an keep this winning streak going, at the end of the year I'll wagered $4368 to win a net $416.

Winning $416 on one $12 bet looks pretty good but to do that I'll have make 364 $12 bets. I'm pretty sure that is what she is doing though after winning the truck, $15,000 and now another $110,000, her profit margin is much higher than mine.... [ More ]

Why do they always ask about a secret ? What's the point of that question?

It's almost like asking someone if they are asleep, or dead.

Definitely dumb luck. I know a couple of people who who think that .4 at the deli counter is 1/4 of a pound and have won good money a couple of times, but not a large jackpot.

I've been thinking about giving up my own numbers and buying quick picks, although I'm not sure it makes a difference.

Wish they had asked her how much money she spends on lottery. It looks like she pretty much buys all the different products, so I wonder if she spends as much as she wins, or if she's truly lucky and has won all these prizes spending only $10 a week.

A local station did a live interview with her, and asked what her strategy is. She said it's dumb luck. She made several statements that led me to believe the latest win was a quick pick, no system involved.

Idaho woman hits fifth lottery jackpot in five years

Lottery Post — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:17:29 GMT

Some people dream of winning the Lottery at least once. But for one Caldwell, Idaho, woman, winning the Lottery over the past five years has become common place.

Anna Pearl Rowell could be considered the luckiest Lottery Lady of all time.

Rowell claimed her $110,000 winning Wild Card check Friday morning from the Idaho Lottery and then retired from her position as the office manager for the Canyon County Assessor's Office.

Rowell became the third Wild Card jackpot winner from Idaho in... [ More ]
