It's difficult to imagine why anyone would attempt to pursue such a negative, twisted psychological path as that one. Seems to require a combination of suspending disbelief, combined with a paranoid desire to look under some unlikely rocks in hopes of finding scorpions, then identifying anything alive, spiders, ants, tumblebugs as part of the scorpion family.There's a lot of that sort of thing nowadays.... maybe some tiny grain of it true, but mostly horse hockey.

My feelings are that if something is meant for you, you will get it...And yes i have found some places are luckier than others for buying quick picks, I even think certain times of the day helps also when buying, If i buy closer to the draw time like at the last minute i can get a winner ....

speaking of some places being luckier than others... an oldie, not necessarily a goodie: is this still valid? was it ever valid? what are the numbers for places where tickets are sold, versus places where numbers are actually winners? is there a place to find that information? http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_n8_v46/ai_10806123Are state lotteries stacked against Blacks?

Reading through the various LP news threads over the past several months it's become plain to me that jackpot win tickets sometimes have a way of gravitating to a specific store. There's a place in Ohio, I think, where a particular store run by East Indians has sold a couple, or more jackpot tickets.But I've noticed, myself, that QPs purchased at some locations just don't seem to do much, while at others they fare better.If I knew where the USAF sargeant purchased that winning ticket down in AB...

I think you're observing something a lot of us notice and none of us probably understand.Jack

I seem to find some stores much luckier than others when it comes to qps. Yesterday I went to a Publix I have won straight on qps about 4 times and boxed much more and got one - 065 straight/box. When I looked at the ticket I just knew these numbers would hit, and straight/boxed it again. When I checked the numbers this morning I could have kicked myself for not just boxing it for a dollar or playing it all 6 ways for 50 cents. Well, at least I have $80.00, and a real feeling for 480 tonight, al... [ More ]
