Shoot..if I lived in Henderson which is approx. 20-30 min drive from Bracey, I'd be playing there too. I love that mini mart there

He has won $90,800 twice and $65,000+ once and cash 5 once. The 3 pick 4 wins were all on 5117 all within 3 years! So my opinion says hes just started playing like this in VA. But again, we could argue this all day. Nonetheless, amazing

If people in VA are looking for a number that has hit before to hit again in June...4141 would be it.

It hit straight June 7th 2009, August 13 2009 May 7th 2001.

If he has psychic properties I might be interested in buying one.

Especially if it's lakefront.

No sour grapes here--I am glad he won and deserves too-just blowing off hot air about the CA Lottery, that's all

Lets just congratulate the guy. He's doing what we all would like to do -- WIN

We can debate all we can about how much he spent but the bottom line is that he is winning with the same set of numbers frequently, which is more than I can say. VA Lottery seems to have a good number system versus the CA Lottery, which is in my honest opinion, is terrible. Since, I live in CA, I guess I have to be more patience until my Pick 4 numbers eventually hit and they will hit very soon: (0512; 1009; 1117 and 1126

If this guy has a special way of picking his combinations then it's unlikely he would share it since most states have a cap on the numbers of pick3 and pick4 tickets with the same combinations. He could freeze himself out of playing his numbers by sharing them with others.

Wow, the guy seems to be very lucky. Congrats to him on his wins

Perhaps we could entice him to join Lottory Post and give us the benefit of this thinking. If someone knows this gentleman, an invite to join would not be out of bounds.

Meanwhile, I have a few questions. Has long has he played? If he has been playing for, say ten years, using his algorithym, then he has spent $146,000 dollars to win $90,800. If this was he first start out of the lotto box, then way to go! I believe he is ahead of the game at this point but that is just me.

Also, he had wa... [ More ]

Wow....Way to go! I love this line .... However, now he has a problem. He's running out of wall space to hang all of the over-sized winner checks he has collected from the Virginia Lottery. Someday I hope to have that problem! LOL

I agree also!! I had calculated this as well. Mjwinsmith is right on the money!!!

He won $90,800.00 - $14,600.00 = $76,200.00 gain over cost before taxes. He would pay taxes on the $76,200.00 since you are allowed to deduct gambling losses as long as they don't exceed gambling profits.

Not a bad hobby as far as I am concerned.

Based on his spending habits of $20 a draw, I bet he only plays his numbers when a Double is due or when certain digits are due. No way he would play every draw. Thats common sense. I might play like this for $5-$10 dollars a draw when ever I feel my numbers are due etc.

Good eye coolmoney, I had not even noticed that he won in VA.

coolmoney — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 14:47:08 GMT

Yes he is good but you notice that he didn't win in the state that he is from, he won in VA!!!!!!!He probably knew the NCEL wasn't going to pay him that kind of money LOL

onenumber — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 14:34:37 GMT

This is incredible!! I wonder if he spends that much money on every drawing? Congrats to him.

pumpi76 — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 14:20:46 GMT

won on the same number....As much as i dont like to say that i believe in psychics, the guy must be a psychic or have psychic properties....lottery ballistics will tell if he is displaying psychic properties...

He must spend a fortune on lottery tickets every month. But with his kind of winnings, I'd do the same

Great wins! Especially the Cash 5...wow!

I'm going to try his style for awhile with 1009 in PA.

N.C. man wins $90,800 in Pick 4 lottery drawing

Lottery Post — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 12:29:38 GMT

Fourth major lottery prize hit by playing 20 tickets with same number

It's been a good number for me.

That remark by Steven Granger of Henderson, North Carolina, may be the understatement of the year.

He selected the number combination 5-1-1-7 on 20 tickets in the Virginia Lottery's May 22 Pick 4 day drawing, and they all won. Each of his exact order tickets won $5,000 and each of the 50/50 tickets won $2,700, for a grand total of $90,800.

That would be amazing enough, but it's onl... [ More ]
