Lottery officials are not skeptical of Morgan, a player they know well. He's on a first-name basis with the folks in the Greensboro (claims) office, lottery Executive Director Alice Garland said. He's talked to me personally about his strategy,

It's been more than three years since Morgan last hit the Pick 4. He's not spending nearly as much money on the lottery these days, although he has won a few scratch-off prizes and even a trip to Las Vegas. Still, Morgan itches for more.

If you follow a game long enough, eventually premonition pays off. All I can say is wow

From the OP by Morgan's own admission;

Despite winning more than half a million dollars, Morgan, 68, estimates he spent more than that over the years.

At the end of the day.....

Sounds like playing for the sake of playing.

LOL.

Really???

Notice he did say he thinks he spent more than he won. That is mind-boggling.

I sometimes think I spend too much on the lottery, but man. If I spend $250 in a month, I'm mad at myself.

Wow, 111 times? That's like magic.

He sure has a full beard and mustache.

That would make him a Hairy Potter.

Phil Morgan is setting a good example of what is possible in the Lottery. I really like how he woke up in the middle of the night and let the numbers come to him.

One of the most prolific winners in North Carolina lottery history wants you to know two things: he doesn't cheat and he understands the games better than anyone.

Through late last year, no one had more big wins than retired potter Phil Morgan, who won 111 times and collected more than $500,000, an Observer data analysis found.

But that record comes with an asterisk. Most wins were for the Pick 4 game. If you play the same number combination multiple times on one drawing, and it hits, each... [ More ]
