New to lotto. Is it common that I'm winning 3-4 numbers almost every draw?

Thank you! Well, I got one more 3 match last draw. And today it's the first time I didn't get 3 matches. Actually, I almost did get a 3 match, but a last minute decision to change the order of numbers made me have my first lottery loss in 7 draws.

It's almost like I lost some confidence, like maybe my beginner's luck run is over . And the thought that perhaps from here on, it'll be a long time before I win anything again is kinda haunting. Hopefully it won't be so.... [ More ]

Good for you NEWTOLOTTO.. looks like you have some interesting analogy going and a couple of ways of doing it I wouldn't have thought to consider. It is always nice to see someone come on board willing to share what is working for them, especially a newbie. you may well be onto to something especially since it is working for you.

I struggle to get 2 out of the 6 on our 6/49 game and lucky to win a $1. Can't tell you the last time I got 3! I would be thrilled to win my $10 back every game sin... [ More ]

This is interesting. I never looked at the second digits only. I just picked my new numbers for Thursday using this strategy as a supplement to mine (to exclude some numbers).

I play Virginia decades of dollars and get 3 of 6 rather often. It all seems to depend on whether I get that first number, then the next two are usually the 4th number and 5th or 6th. I m determined to win this game. It is $2. $4 million prize. It was the first game in the area to be $2.00. My system changes around a bit as well.

Are you the same person who registered today also as newtolotto who also started this thread? Are you asking and answering your own questions

You're right, I was just reading the wiki again and realized many 649 lotteries cost only 50 cents, now I feel like I'm being ripped off too. :( Anyway, I guess it's all based on the population of the country or something.

Interestingly, I also discovered other 649 lotteries gets a free play for matching 2 numbers. Really? I get 2 numbers all the time.

You don't have to base what you think on a wiki article, every lottery has its own website that states what their lotteries payouts are. I doubt if you'll find any other lottery paying $10 for a match3 in a 6/49 game that's only charging $1 for a ticket.

Whoa, I wasn't aware there were different prizes. I thought they based it all on math. The wiki on Lotto 649 states $10 for 3 numbers too so I assumed it's the same everywhere. Minding that, I feel $2 is really too snip low!

I think you're looking at another lottery's results, that website shows results from several lottery that you can choose from a drop down list.

Anyway, thanks for that! But actually, I don't get what I'm supposed to look for with the last 3 numbers, how do I incorporate into my protocol (the post above for the clearest explanation of my thought process). And also the theory behind doing so, seemgs really interesting, hope to be enlightened

Oh god, I got banned for trying to post the URL to the lottery website.

I'll just post what I was writing before and then read the replies.

Just to be more clear, here's my most recent one that I just won that I'll cash in tomorrow.

My states has a 6/49 game and years ago it had a 6/49+1 game too. Like your lottery it also charges $1 per play but unlike your lottery a match3 only pays $2. I've done better on the prediction board than I have in real life because the prediction board awards $5 for match3 in a pick6 game.

I've always felt if Ohio's Classic Lotto paid even $5 for a match3, I could break even or better playing its 6/49 game. Since you recieve $10 for a match3, you should do even better, that's one of the best... [ More ]

Ok, that makes sense. You're just analyzing trends and patterns which is the best way than picking a QP.

I'm also trying to get 3 numbers in the game I play in the Florida Fantasy Five, until/If the big one hits. I use the last digits of the winning numbers from low to high and track them. The game has 1-36 and i only need 3 to win 10 bucks, hoping to finance the game instead out of my pocket.

Last night I got Five free QPs using my system, hopefully I'm on the right track. Haven't won any... [ More ]

Can't help feeling like I lucked out, but I'm gonna keep at it and see if it continues.

So anyway. It's really nothing sophisticated and I only have a small sample size. It's very circumstantial. And I really don't believe it's of any value, I just do it this way as an illusion of control, but since you asked.

First I would like to say, my goal was never to match all 6 numbers. If it happens, great! But my goal is to match only 3 numbers, so I can play the lottery for free until 6 nu... [ More ]

It doesn't have to be a system by others to qualify as a system. Your analysis of the draws and how you determine what numbers to use, is a system. It's your system. That's why I was asking what system you are using.

No, not common. Let us know your picking theory, the LP members can then analyze and communicate their thoughts on it to you, which is common practice here. Group discussion has helped many people here.

So it's common to buy 6 tickets and get 3 correct numbers frequently? Or are you saying it's quite normal to have such luck?

I'm not really using any system I would know of that are used by others. By system I meant something I planned myself, and it's been changing constantly based on my analysis of the draws.

649 lottery is a common lottery type, you can just look it up on google. It's just picking 6 numbers from the range of 1-49. $1 per entry. In my state, the lowest prize is 3 numbers for $10.

In my opinion, systems are better than QPs, so be happy you're doing something right. It's quite normal what's happening to you.

What system are you using

New to lotto. Is it common that I'm winning 3-4 numbers almost every draw?

newtolotto — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 11:25:11 GMT

So I started playing the 649 lottery in my state about 2 months ago. It's twice a week. Checking the history, it's been 18 draws since I started.

The first month were all quick picks, 1 or 2 tickets. It was only after I got my first win (3 numbers + 1 bonus) during my 9th draw that I started to pick my numbers based on my own system. I bought 6 tickets then, and from then on I decided to always buy 6 tickets.

Ever since, I've been winning 3 (sometimes with bonus) numbers almost every dr... [ More ]
