If a place that sells lottery tickets focuses any time or resources on letting people know that certain number combinations have been picked I'd bet the business is in big trouble or will be down the line. Not due to any law violations, but because they arent focusing on things that really matter to their business. LOL Business owners wish tyhey could waste their time at such meaningless things.

There, I fixed it:

In any case, since they have an access to information on all the combinations bought prior to the game for that game, should they not make a list of combinations not played to at least advise the buyers, or give to them as a quick pick option.

I'd find a way to make machine beep if it happens, and discard the ticket, and then I'd ask person to change combination

the problem with this idea is that duplicate ticket might be a winner. There are times where the jackpot is won by more then one ticket with the same number combination. Take last weeks powerball drawing as an example, two winning tickets were sold, one in AZ and the other in MO.

Lets say a winning ticket was sold in MO first, if people used your idea and decide not to... [ More ]

Card counters are smart blackjack players, but they get kicked out of casinos. I have a feeling a retailer doing what you outlined would not be allowed to sell lottery.

But I do think it would be helpful. Nightline reported that on that last huge PowerBall jackpot, only 60% of possible combos were sold, which means there were a LOT of duplicate tickets sold.

Smart lottery selling technique.

Places that sell lottery are entitled to financial reward when people win big. In an effort to make more diverse lottery combinations played at their place, and ensure some big win, would they not hint people in case their combination was already chosen in this place? They should encourage people somehow to pick new combinations. It can be helpful to people and to them.

In any case, since they have an access to information on all the combinations bought prior to the game for that game, should... [ More ]
