New lottery number experiment pays off for North Carolina woman with $212,371 Cash 5 jackpotReply
Congrats to Dorothy on that sweet $212k Cash 5 hit, proof that shaking up your method can click on the first go, even if it's pure luck at 1 in 962,598 odds. Whatever her new approach was, blending 2-3 odds with evens and spreading across groups like 1-10, 11-20, etc., pops up in over 90% of draws historically, so it's worth tweaking if you're in a rut. Sticking to sums averaging 10-34 keeps combos realistic too, unlike all-low or sky-high shots that rarely land.

The odds of winning are the same, but the odds of sharing the jackpot are higher.. It is like in NZ a lotto official said that there were usually about 3,000 tickets with 1,2,3,4,5,6 ... When picking your own numbers, people want a logical reason... Birthdays is another (so more likely to share prizes/ jackpots if the numbers are 1 - 31.
