Who has the worse of situations?

Ok, someone asked 'what if ?'

And folks reply 'that would never happen'.

'That would never happen' is not a valid reply to a 'what if ?'

'What if' ALL of us on this thread won successive jackpots ?

'That would never happen' is what someone will say.

And then I will say 'correct, but what if it did ?'

JXP - my choice for your 'what if ?' is A

Missing the point? When I was 6 years old we'd take trips in the car and I'd get bored and ask Daddy, what if...? all the time. You can always come up with a what if question, like what if tomorrow you woke up and found out your wife was really a man? or what if you discovered you have beings from another planet living on your block?

So I guess we should have all... [ More ]

Yeah, I know that. I'm just surprised that some people believe Player B could actualy come into existence.

Based on a what If scenario person B is more likely to be in a worse situation...based on knowing what the imaginary formula to hit 6 numbers regularly is...He is messing with a multi billion dollar business that feeds our money into government hands,,,Person B would more than likely be probed, watched, audited, and probably set up, so that the likes of his system never gets found....If he were to sell his system then all of those lotteries matrix woiuld either change or would be shut down,,...

i was a big fan of the raiders and steelers for years before we finally get the titans and then i was strictly a titans fan.they've been around for seven or so years and we;ve already had a super bowl and a couple afc championship appearances plus a NFL MVP in mcnair for 2003.now we've got vince young so i say that we've definitely gotten our money worth out of this franchise since 1999.they could've easily been a bust like the new cleveland or houston texans but that wasn't the case.i hate that...

And I am sooo sick and tired of hearing excuses as to why a person turns to alcohol, drugs or a life of crime because of a situation thrust upon them.... I'm guessing MOST of us here have been put in bad positions, and MOST of us that have did not turn to some illicit way of life in order to 'overcome' it....

Is there a price tag on this ? 'I won 300 mill and I couldn't cope....... [ More ]

I would say person A. Why? Because that is more money and the press conference is pretty much guranteed.

Folks, there is no Person B. There have been a few people who have won two Pick 6 jackpots, but as far as I know, not even three, let alone six in eight months.

And as others and myself have said here, if there was such a person the state offering the game would cut it off. -Talk about bad karma!

Genie: You can develool a system and hit six times in eigh months- but because of you that game will no longer be offered and all Pick 6 games will expand to a 80 number matrix, still want me

My vote is that person B is worse off. Why do I think that you might ask? Well, person A realizes that his lucky stars aligned and because he/she realizes that this more than likely is a once in a lifetime blessing, and everybody should know what not to do as a result of the JW debacle, he/she would be wise about the management and investment of that wealth. Person B on the other hand would think he/she knows it all as a result of luck smiling down on that system for that moment in time, and

Person A sounds like JW and Person B sounds like a lot of us. I watched 20/20 of course. JW started drinking because of how people were bothering him for money. Key words are started and drinking . His first mistake was sounding and acting generous and his 2nd was the drinking. His 3rd was trusting his teenage granddaughter and not being more involved. He could have told her this guy is a druggie, break up with him immediately or no more $2K/week and taken action against the boyfriend. What... [ More ]

You missed the point.

That was: the Person B scenario was for real - what if a person did indeed have a system that guaranteed a win every month ? Well, the lottery would change overnight to rule the system useless, that's for sure.

The clown has had enough chances.

I thought it was hilarious: 6 arrests - no convictions. One, MAYBE two I could see, but SIX ?

See what $$$ and 'bargaining' can do for you ?

I think player A is very realistic and player B comes from La-la land ( a place in lottery player's minds where they win big jackpots very often and regular.)

Who is worse off? Player B-he actually lives in La-la land

The question MAY be: if you had a system that guaranteed a win once a month, how much would you sell it for ?

Do you do a 30 minute infomercial on late-night TV and sell it 'For 3 easy payments of $79.95' ?

You folks would be absolutely shocked at how many 10's of millions of dollars of JUNK is actually sold on late-night TV...

What difference does it make?

I also agree with Coin Toss that player B doesn't exist. But for argument sake, let's say he did. Ever see the movie Rainman? Now picture the scene at the casino when Dustin Hoffman was counting cards and were told to get out of town.

That's a hard question to answer. Difficult to think of either being in a worse situation,they've both won jackpots! I don't think it matters how they won it,depending on what they choose to DO with it is what will put them in a better or worse situation.

Person B: This person is not the average lottery player. He regularly plays his state's Pick 6 game that has 1 in 12 Million jackpot odds. He uses a system he made himself for choosing his lottery numbers. After 8 months, this person has won the Pick 6 jackpot 6 times, each worth $5 Million, and he's still going to keep playing! In fact, this person has decided to move next to the state border just so he can play another state's Pick 6 game using this same system. People are going to... [ More ]

i chose A because people will instantly ask that person for money right away and i doubt the pick 6 winner will get as much media coverage even when they hit it more than once unless they call up the media to brag about their system being so effective then maybe they will do a story to alert the people who want to ask for money.

Well, I just got done watching the segment on 20/20 with Jack Whitaker. The guy's life is pretty much ruined, which made me think about something. This guy wins $315 Million, a record jackpot, and he immediately is getting hit up for money and starts getting into trouble. Here I am, constantly trying to improve my Pick 6 system and am getting better results with every draw that comes. Now I don't believe someone has a system to win the lottery every single draw, but I do believe a person could u... [ More ]
