theres only 1 way to achieve 1 mil on the lotto, start with 2 mill.

on an unconnected mnote a lerk at my lotto agent said she bought 5 scratch offs 1 from ea book after work. and when she got home ea ticket had a prize, only $5 higherst but a few free tickets. so there are lucxky people.

once when playing keno, the bar lady finished work and parked herself on a stool and bought a drink and a few keno tickets.

people form cults i don't know what the hell for, like a cult is going to save you...

Yet nobody is forming a cult of a lot of people to go after the lottery and the jackpots go to the most needed....Winning the lottery can save you....

If 6,000 people where to each contribute 200 dollars a month for 1 year and 4 month, they will all reached 20 million dollars...20 million at 5% is almost 950,000 dollars every year...They can use that money to go after Pick5 or Pick4....With predictors or... [ More ]

...And you know that there are predictors here in LP who are very good and don't even share their systems...

Are you implying that there are LP members who are winning more than a fair share of lotteries and not sharing their winnings or their knowledge? Who are they?

If they are predicting, there's a good chance they are not playing all their predictions and their predictions are on the prediction board at least an hour before the drawings so anyone who want to play their predictions are... [ More ]

sorry to hear that....My point exactly....There needs to be lottery prediction websites or a system that can win the lottery or a lottery that 50% of the time selects winners carefully, the other 50% it does it randomly...

Can you believe people got to overcome 500,000 combinations to ask for help...And you know that there are predictors here in LP who are very good and don't even share their systems...

Man I'm sorry to hear your story.

One thing I have always known, lottery jackpots never come to the people who

desperately need them. Wat I'm saying is even though we all really want to win,

if and when faced with a crucial deadline (not the best word choice if I may say so)

lottery jackpots will disappoint you like a neighbours wife.

And there is nothing like predictability in lottery otherwise store clerks would have

been barred from buying lottery tickets. The lottery commi... [ More ]

she must be one of the senior citizens who cash in instant tickets ....because they wont have to pay a high tax

I've heard clerks say they wait for the end of the roll to play. Who knows? Congrats to the winner. I hope she doesn't give it all back. I knew a man who used to win a lot but he played a lot and the odds do play out. It took me a couple of days to read this article. I used to gamble to pay my families medical expenses. My mother had 11 surgeries while my brother was in the hospital with luekemia. My niece also needed surgery. I used my winnings at the black jack table to keep things going and p... [ More ]

I hate to have to tell you, but you're merely normal. The vast majority of lottery players, including you, are somewhere near the middle of the bell curve. A very few are way out at one end or the other. This woman is clearly very close the good end of th ecurve.

KY Floyd — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:46:44 GMT

You said she's probably a clerk . Maybe it's just that you're not very good at writing clearly, but I didn't read it as offering one scenario, but rather as a simple assumption with no reasonable information to support it.

As for crooked clerks, the scenario I see when I hear somebody suggesting that is one of somebody displaying their complete cluelessness. First, since there is generally no law or lottery regulation (and only rarely a workplace rule) prohibiting clerks from buying tickets w... [ More ]

ThatScaryChick — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:54:00 GMT

I agree. There was nothing in the article that stated she worked at a store and was cheating. I have no idea why some people have the think the worst of someone just because they happen to have a lucky streak.

Way to go...Wish she had won more...very, very lucky....

The woman who won is a professional caregiver for the ill and elderly. Her husband is retired from Dupont Chemical.............She bought 2 tickets from her change at Krogers. she won 6 dollars on one ticket and 7,000 on the other.......she and her Husband have won over 175,000 from 11 instant tickets.

@MaddMike: It is OK for people to disagree. That's the point of a forum. Don't go cursing out someone just because they express an opposite viewpoint! (I had to delete the post - do you actually expect me to keep it on the forums or something?) You can't go posting something controversial like implying that the woman in this article is scamming the system (or whatever it is that you're suggesting) and not expect people to point out that it is probably not the case.

So what you're saying is: She's not a Lucky Player: Just a Thief!

The fundamental problem with making up these stories about Lucky Lottery Winners: Forcing yourself to believe in factual claims for which there is no evidence turns your brain to mush, equipping you only for further acts of self-deception. Practice this habit of mental self-abuse long enough, and you will be left in a desperately enfeebled mental condition, unable to perform the most modest act of factual analysis.

Lucky lady, but when you win prizes like this (not real big / not real small) you always end up tossing the money back to win TRY and win more prizes...I'll like to see her losses vs win ratio! Take heed winners play with caution after you win

It's actually a good sign: your turn is coming up! (The power of positive thinking is tremendous. Never lose sight of that, and good times will follow you wherever you go

MaddMike51 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:47:27 GMT

I did NOT make up a story about anyone.What I did was offer one scenario about how she might have won so much money in such a short amount of time.I don't know how many times you have run stories about crooked clerks doing exactly what I described,so I don't see why you got your shorts in a bind about my post

Dollar419 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:28:57 GMT

It's just the luck of the draw and apparently this is her season of winning; I just want to know when it will my turn to finally WIN????

See I can't think like that Todd...because that means....if she truely is just lucky what does that make me

Todd — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:48:11 GMT

Geez, talk about immediately thinking the worst about somebody!

I look at somebody like this and think, It's nice to see that lucky people do exist. Why immediately make up a story about her being a convenience store clerk? It's not like the story even contains a shred of information that would insinuate this.

Litebets27 — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:12:51 GMT

I read this earlier in the week and believe that this woman and her husband probably buy scratch offs by the book.

Congratulations to her, no matter how she's doing it.

I'm sure her state taxes and Uncle Sam are proud of her also.

Yea, they don't say much about her do they. So who knows, you could be right.

She's probably a clerk at a convenience store and only bought tickets after someone bought a bunch of losers and scratched them in front of her.

W. Va. woman wins 9th big lottery prize

Lottery Post — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:50:44 GMT

Brenda Bailey is still on a roll.

Last week, the 60-year-old South Charleston woman claimed her ninth West Virginia Lottery prize, $7,000 in the Gem 7s instant game. That brings her total winnings since last September to $159,000 from five instant tickets.

Lottery officials say Bailey has claimed a total $165,800 in prizes from instant and online games since 2000.

She's not the only lucky one in the family. Her husband Richard claimed a $6,000 instant game prize in January and a $10,000... [ More ]
