Count me in your corner, I spend time, effort, analyzing and deducing what will be the next jack pot numbers. I would love to see someone win, because they did their homework. I'm a jackpot junkie and I'm proud of it

However, I find it very intriguing, to say the least, how almost every Powerball winner listed on the Powerball website picked quickpicks. I must say there were 2 who didn't and played birthdays etc. I'm only halfway through the 2003 winners' stories though. One lady said she usually plays the same numbers but she is going to properly thank the store clerk for offering her a quick pick option! Just once I would love to see someone (namely me )who states the following: I'm a jackpot game fre... [ More ]

How NOT to win

Get in a pool that plays QPs only.

Be selfish and unwilling to take advice from other players, particularly players who keep statistics, have a plan and might know how to get a 5 line ticket with 25 or 30 different numbers.

Don't play until the jackpot exceeds $100 million or some other obscene figure.

Buy a lottery system and play whatever combinations the programmer suggests.

Find another form of entertainment.

and then there's hope i hope i pick the right numbers to wheel and the wheel isn't too big cost wise to play for a profit. selecting the right numbers for the wheel is foremost. but it doesn't guarantee a win because you might have all the right numbers but not on the same line. I see a lot of posters have the correct numbers in their predictions but all the winning numbers are not on the same line. finding a way to get the winning numbers on the right line should be the target goal. of which mo...

Morning to you aye'.

There's a lot of merit in what you say.

But if lottery play's to be more than passing interest it needs meat, rather than the pablum from a QP to add a bit of fun to it. Otherwise it's a mile wide and a quarter-inch deep. People who want to think about it at all have to focus on what color curtains the last winner had in his bathroom and whether he was double ugly and a loser before he won, or whether it was the lottery did it to him.

I think if LottoMike will fo... [ More ]

Rip,

I cashed a 4/6 ticket on Win For Life the other day. The store clerk said, Wow, I've never seen anybody win on this game before! I replied, Winning is one thing; getting ahead of 'em is another.

With the hefty vig in the 50% range that lotteries take, they've got a pretty good cushion of comfort against anybody who gets smart enough to beat the odds. A player can beat the odds and still not make any money. That's an issue that's been kicked around Lottery Post for years.

The o... [ More ]

Formula for not winning lotteries

using methods that have been used for years without success.

Good point, though adapting some of those methods to things that mightn't have been tried might help. New slants on old methods and strategies kind of thing.

Wait to everyone has posted their plays. Then wheel what they have not picked.

I think a person would do a lot better playing picks by, say, Lucky, or RJOH, or Padawan, or LottoMike, or bellyache, or tntea, probably others that don... [ More ]

I don't know if any method would really lower the odds that much on jackpot style games other than shear luck.

Evidently you've never visited the Yesterday Winners page of the Predictions page, scrolled backward day-by-day for a couple of weeks looking at the results. If you had you'd know whether any method would really lower the odds that much on jackpot style games

I often get quickpicks along with formula tickets and find the quickpicks can do better. I don't know if any method would really lower the odds that much on jackpot style games other than shear luck.

As far as I can see, charts can do one thing: eliminate some of the numbers.

Heck, guesser, maybe everything that's ever going to happen in your life hasn't happened yet. Might even be you'll learn something sometime you don't know already.

'As far as I can see' is a description of right now and backward, but it's a worthy caveat to keep in mind.

'being lucky' nailed it.

As far as I can see, charts can do one thing: eliminate some of the numbers.

Do you want to play all the longest shots in one game ?

Do you want to play all 5 numbers that hit in the prior game ?

Do you want to play all 5 numbers that hit 3 or 4 drawings ago ?

Do you want to play a number that has hit in 3 straight games ?

Do you want to play 1-2-3-4-5 ?

All my charts can do to help me is narrow 55 numbers down to about 25, and even then...... [ More ]
