If I were a past lottery winner, I'd sure play again.

I'd pay somebody to make my Excel do what I want.

Then I'd start buying tickets from every online system that I could buy into. Including Canada and England if I could.

I like it

Yes I do. The system that I'm thinking of simply eliminates certain number combinations such as obvious patterns and combinations that have been drawn before. Even after that there are still millions of combinations left to choose from.

I always wonder if the past jackpot winners uses lottery systems or just play for fun.

People who uses various lottery systems, IMO, only has a minuscule advantage over the people who choose quick picks.

I'd like to see some numbers on that.

I'd bet the people who work at it, come up with more wins than the QP's do.

I wonder how we'd ever document that?

Maybe if the system can tell how many Card selections as opposed to QP selections

I personally have been thinking up my own system but I lack the programmaing knowledge to write and develop the program at this time.

Do you think if you had the skills to program the system you're thinking up, you would have nothing more than a minuscule advantage over just buying QPs

So Skill is doing an incredible job of analysis to come up with some numbers.

It's luck that makes those numbers winners.

BadBoy, I dont want to think that all my timy analyzing and scribbling is just for a miniscule advantage. You crushed my delicate sensativities.

I used a manual system on many sheets of paper taped together that worked pretty well.

Im way too old and impatient to do that these days.

Now I'd like to use MS Excell, but I need to know some of the VBA to make it do... [ More ]

Skill by definition is the ability to do something well. The main goal when playing the lottery is to hit the jackpot. So being skillful means to be able to hit the jackpot almost everytime you play. That is something no one has ever been able to do. And it's never going to happen. People who uses various lottery systems, IMO, only has a minuscule advantage over the people who choose quick picks.

I doubt if any one was offended by badboy00z opinion, after all we all have them and most are interesting but when players are picking numbers to play the only opinion that counts is their own.

No disrespect to anyone here but I fail to see how one can have skills in playing the lottery. I mean sure you can pick numbers wisely like obvious patterns but it all comes down to luck IMO.

Except for the lucky few jackpot winners, playing the lottery is a losing proposition.

But I play anyway.....

I'm good enough to beat the overall odds of winning a prize.

Overall odds of winning a prize playing Ohio Rolling Cash5 are 1:9 but matching 2 three times with $20 worth of tickets only gets me $3.

Overall odds of winning a prize playing Ohio Classic Lotto are 1:54 but matching 3 once with $30 worth of tickets only gets me $2.

Overall odds of winning a prize playing MegaMillions are 1:40 but matching 0+1, 1+1 or 2+1 with $25 worth of tickets only gets me $2, $3 or $10.

Sometime i go in the hole, and don't get my money back. i use to play about 150.00 a day. I could never beat the lottery system, so i cut back to 10.00 are 20.00 sometime 5.00. Once i got use to it I love it. I really start to think of all that money that I was giving away.

Same here I am lucky for other People, I gave 2 numbers for someone here at Lottery post. I probably gave a whole lot of numbers here, no one is telling me but It is ok, I am happy to be able to bless other people here. Just about every thng I post in the Mystical forum numbers come out, they don't always come in my State but they come out. I know that for a fact.

I suck at it. I'm definitely in the hole. I hit MAYBE once a month. I didn't know people were capable of hitting it every week, or more than once a week.

New Year's Resolution: forget Pick3 Pick4 ever existed. Just stick to the Powerball.

I wish I lived closer. Its a two hour drive for me, up and back, to buy a ticket.

Way back years ago I spent 8 months in Ohio. It took a lot of time to sort through all those numbers, every night almost, but I found several 'consisistencies'.

In a months time I was playing on Ohio's money.

Eventually I bought an 82 Escort, brand new with my 8 Months winnings.

I've never lived in a state that had the lottery so I've never taken the time for that kind of intense editing.

On the game I've been struggling to have success in, I have only managed to beat 1:81 odds once in almost 3 months of consistent playing, and that's with me spending between $7 - $15 every other night.

But that's ok because there are only 9 days left of lottery gambling for me...and then I'm pulling the plug for good.

Like 99.9% of everybody who plays the lottery, I suck at it.

It drives me to drink... but for that I'm thankful.

Come to think of it... think I'll slam a couple right now.

Maybe you are waging to much... I have noticed that the least i spend the more I hit (go figure?) keep a track of how many times and how much you win, then play 1/2 of the amount you would normally play... I know it sounds weird but the lower I play the more I win! Good Luck

How good do you think you are at the lottery?

pepper1 — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:49:23 GMT

I think I'm good at picking number, but pick and play for myself I suck. I hit about 4 to five time a week

but I spend more money than I should, so I've cut back and only look for profits.
