Buying unique combinations
A good strategy when buying lottery tickets is to buy combinations that no one else has picked. This way, if you win the jackpot, you win the entire prize and not have to share it.

Number Systems and statistics.Reply
Quote: Originally posted by wiseone2 on April 28, 2004I don't believe it's the individual member states that control the number of winners in their state.

Which System do you use??Reply
WOW, Some very interesting post and points have been expressed on this thread.Guess I will share my additional 2 cents worth.First, let me say I am 100% a systems player. Always have been and always will be. In my own personal opinion, I feel that it gives me a slight advantage to wheel or play via a system. Some will agree and others will disagree. That is fine. I am also open minded enough to realize that quick picks and other methods win as well. Obviously no one has yet invented a magic
