My luckiest day when it come in regard to the POWERBALL drawing was that I won $7 USD plus 2 sets of $3 USD. Usually,I buy $10 USD worth of POWERBALL lottery tickets for a single drawing. So,I had about .1619*.1619*.02785 equal .0007,so in other words,I had a 0.7% of getting what I got,WOW

I offer you my most sincere and heartfelt apologies. How thoughtless and insensitive of me; I'm usually very careful to craft sentences which won't offend the membership, but in this case I can certainly see why you feel so strongly about my negative comments. I NEVER should have written that someone using a system is doing somethin... [ More ]

Here in Tn they have a second chance drawing,I saw this one name that looked filimar and looked on the web site and this person just won 160,000 on Pick 5 then hit a second chance drawing too.They wasnt even from Tn. They were from Hazel Green,Al.They have won a number of times.Makes you wonder sometimes.

Mathematics Professor Patricia is right about the statistics. You know I never play scratchers, they aren't that glamorous for me, and they make such a mess, lol, not to mention clerks unfamiliar with them fumble around and make you hold up the store line, leaving everyone behind you angry at you, apparantly taking your time order cigarettes and buying a thousand cases of beers is okay, but G-d forbid you hold up the line asking for tickets lol, last time I checked ANY PURCHASES WAS JUST AS A VA...

With all the winners, scratch-off and otherwise, in Coldwater Michigan I have wondered if Lansing and Indianapolis have been trading favors . I dont recall ever seeing any outlet in Coldwater being in the list of top Michigan retailers but they sure do win alot of big prizes for a town of that size and of course it is just a coincidence that they are so close to Indiana.

Perhaps it is Just what RJOH says and what happens most is most likely to happen again.

If that is the case then you

if you don't know what i mean by:

one suggestion...Whenever you are outside your house/home turn on your ears and listen to what people around you wisper to you to your ears you might learn more than what you learn in LP...Almost everything of all the systems that've come up with i did it because i had my ears turned on not because i made it up myself...

COntigent on the overall area (population of players in an area), its feasible to have more winners. I have seen Metro style areas show higher winning rates but then one needs to realize the population there is five times more then a small town area so ratio wise its still the same.

I am a firm beleiver that lack of monitoring by some retailers does give them the unfortunate liberty to scratch and claim on business time without paying til they go to cash in.

I have checked my PA website an... [ More ]

In my opinion we believe that there might be a system to win the lotto even though we have not found it, however that's because we have contributed lots of time to the lottery, however sorry to say this but we the ones that publicly display out system lack a little common sense believing that the state lottery is not going to be snooping around this website...However not everyone is going to publicly display their system on the internet...So there is a lot of stuff we don't know..This is kind of...

The article is talking mainly about scratch off winners. Scratch offs are supposed to be random . Now if a person had a lottery system where they can hit the jackpot in games such as cash 5 or cash 6 more than once..then more power to them..That to me is achievable but to do the same thing with scratch offs is totally unbelievable and frankly it should be questioned. Also, why do the winners of these scratch offs all seem to be clustered in certain areas

We even have one Indianapolis resident who has managed to win the Pick-5 jackpot an incredible FIVE TIMES in one year. Does he use a system? Well, probably, but we'll never get the chance to ask

What make you think a person with a system is doing something illegal? Or that he has an obligation to explain it to anyone who asks about it?

If I had a system that won more than usual, any one who thought it was illegal or just wanted to know how it worked wouldn't get any help from me, they woul... [ More ]

The same thing has been happening in Indiana for years. Virtually all major scratch-off prize winners live in Marion County (Indianapolis) or Lake County (East Chicago), and a few of those people have claimed major prizes several times. The only difference is that here, in the sovereign nation of Indiana, when someone begins to get suspicious, the state AND the media circle the wagons with amazing rapidity. The focus quickly shifts to an all-out effort to publicly discredit the whistleblower whi... [ More ]

They have got to be cheating somewhere. I know some folks who spend over 500.00 per month on scratch-offs and the biggest they have ever won is $1,000.00 and it is not ALL of the time either. They have only won once or twice since I have known them. The point is ..is the clue in the serial numbers or what..sometimes inside knowledge pays off big. Wonder how the Ky lottery likes this advertisement . No so good huh

Is it luck or something else?

The Kentucky lottery sells hundreds of millions of dollars in scratch off lottery tickets each year. While it's difficult to hit the big one, people beat the odds time and time again.

WHAS11's investigative reporter Adam Walser traveled the state, trying to discover how some people repeatedly get so lucky.

For thousands of Kentucky residents, playing the lottery is favorite pastime.

Sometimes players win big, but usually, the outcome is not so lucky.... [ More ]
