Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
Here is a LIST of the reasons for the cool down : -There have been so many jackpots over 100 million. When 50 million was noteworthy it was because it was unusual. -There is an inflation effect.

A Must Read: Libra Dave & Black AppleReply
Good thread. Thanks, Ducksafloat, for calling my attention to it. Seems to me the work Dave's done with his charts is one of the more intriguing things I've seen on Lottery Post in terms of trying to understand number behavior. He sent me a SUN/MOON chart a year or so ago, which has been invaluable to me. I try to put things to a test on an overall basis, both on the predictions page, and in my own records, and Dave's charts made it possible to do so. I was never able to establish any

Of course they would lose more if they got caught. But show me one criminal, just one, who thought to himself while committing his crime, Gee, I'm sure I'll be caught doing this; wonder how long I'll be in jail? I Guess I'll have to wait and see. No one thinks they'll be caught committing a crime.
