Why wouldn't a system help with this game? The player has to pick 5 numbers out of a pool of 36 similar to any other lottery game and players get two plays for a dollar and can play twice a day. If system players like playing Pick3 for a $50 box hit, they should love this game with a $50,000 top prize.

In a game like that it doesn't take a working system to have repeat winners. The odds are about 1 in 376,000. If everybody who won played one ticket per day for the next 4 years they'd each have about a 1 in 258 chance of winning again. Assuming that 258 people had already won when these people won for the first time, it's all but certain that one of them would have won again by now.

Elinor and John T. Phillips of Indianapolis claimed the prize Thursday, less than five years after Elinor Phillips won $50,000 on the same game in 2004.

Elinor Phillips said her heart fluttered when she heard the numbers for the Feb. 24 evening draw.

Phillips said she and her husband play Lucky 5 Evening regularly.
