You will go crazy and twiddle your life away trying to 'perfect' a 'system'. Cannot be done.

All you can hope to do is develop some theories to try and help narrow down some choices for you, and then throw at a dartboard. Sometimes you can guess at 2 or 3 of the numbers and hit them, but you need a WAG for the other numbers. (Wild A-- Guess).

You always gotta remember - folks a lot smarter than us, mathematicians with Doctorate degrees have been trying to hit the perfect theory, and they h... [ More ]

And add that in actuality, you will redeem your jackpot at the local store as it will be $500/$600 or less. You will never go to the headquarters to redeem the Big Jackpots! Just a dream that you will beat the odds. So concentrate on the smaller games and be happy with consistent small wins. They add up, you know

The pick 3 or 4 you have a strong hunch about and are going to play for the evening draw has hit mid-day, inknownto you.

That's one of Murphy's lottery laws and when this happens you get a free pa... [ More ]

My personal observations about lotto:

1. He who hesitates is probably right:

The numbers I think first without giving much thought to them hit more often, but i never play them because i have to think about the numbers and thats where it all goes wrong for me.

Conclusion: Dont overthink it too much....

2. The desire to win and the pressure lead to wrong decisions:

Sometimes I skip days because either the jackpot is low or i don't want to spend too much $ on lotto. I still go ahe... [ More ]

What have you observed about playing lotto?

Share your observations and lotto corollaries here - not specific strategies like mixing up odd and even numbers, but things like:

When you think all even numbers can't possibly hit another time, they do!

System players will win on quick picks, and vice versa

The pick 3 or 4 you have a strong hunch about and are going to play for the evening draw has hit mid-day, inknownto you.
