never play quick picksReply
I think that's a good way to do it. I run a lottery pool at my office and we mix numbers we picked with quick picks. We went through a long streak in which we were winning lower tier prizes on every 2 week cycle, but lately we've been in a slump. What I'm trying to do is determine if playing the same set of numbers every drawing or a different quick pick will increase the chance of matching any numbers in the game and I'm finding if just buying one or two tickets, it probably doesn't matte

Of course its not likely, but neither was the fortune cookie incident. There have been over a thousand powerball drawings. How many times have they had a result that was far from what they expected? If the fortune cookie incdent happened today it would cost the PB states about $100 million more than they expect to pay out. That's about half of the profit they made in 3 or 4 days last November. Every state has the option of making a parimutuel payout in the event of an anomalous result th

Do you see yourself winning either the MM/ PB jackpot within the next 5-10 years?Reply
According to my latest fortune cookie, palm reading from Madam Zelda and yearly horoscope, I will win a major jackpot within the next 24 months. It will likely be the Mega Millions Game.

IL LOTTO had 9 Winners (!) Last Night...Reply
Winners were all over the state. Fortune cookie sounds plausible or some other number picking source. But why would anyone want numbers that many others might be playing? Sharing might be nice for kids, but not when it comes to millions of dollars.

I would bet a fortune cookie had those numbers. This is why you should NEVER play numbers like that. A 400k annuity or about a 140k lump sum after taxes. Better off hitting the little lotto. To beat 10 mil to one odds and get such a pittance would make me ill.

All who participated are too embarrassed to say, and all are embittered: to say the least! The results of your embodiment are somewhat related to the Fortune Cookie Fiasco, which occurred sometime ago, where all the Jackpots received were meager too.

I have but no luck yet! I did hear of a guy playing the #'s out of a fortune cookie hit it after consistantly playing it for 2 years! Sometimes I feel like if we should by chance ever hit it for something worth having, we will have PAID for it in FULL.

As a matter of fact I am tracking all the fortune cookie numbers I have just to see how they perform every week. I try to track them for every lottery possible. So far I've had some interesting results. Nothing to write about but interesting just the same.

I think playing numbers from a fortune cookie is kind of looking for desperate measure's and your really just chasing the big win. I personally, just pick my own numbers and maybe a few qp's and leave it at that.
