Why does Richard Lustig never say how much he had spent to get his wins?Reply
It doesn't really matter. He probably spends a lot, more than the average person. But that's not what makes him unique. There are many other multiple large prize lottery winners. Some people will win a big one like Cynthia Stafford, or win multiple times like Richard Lustig. That will happen to some people purely by chance. A certain percentage of those winners will have a system or method when playing. And a certain percentage of those will believe they won because of that system or metho

what is the most you ever won on a daily 3 pick game?Reply
Given the random nature of the game, If I had won anything significant, I don't think it would be something to brag about. I don't know why this thread was started, but it certainly qualifies as Lottery Discussion. It's no different than starting a poll asking if the jackpot will roll to encourage discussion. Because it said game and not games , I perceived it to be the most anyone won on one drawing. And based on the reply to my one game win, it was the intentions of the thread starter.

is anyone making an income from lotteryReply
I don't actually know if he's overall won money playing the lotto. Price had two other pick-3 wins of $7500 and $8000 in 2010 and his next win was $8000 in May, 2011 so the only thing obvious is he plays multiple tickets on the same number. We don't know how much he spent to win that $23,500 or how much he spent to win seven other prizes between $1000 and $7000, but it's an excellent guess to say because he has his picture several times on KY website, he decided to sell his picks for a buck

if "someone" found a way to beat the lottery wheel-would you label that cheating?Reply
There was a story many years ago on a radio show that still airs to this day called Coasttocoast . The themes of discussion on the show mainly reflect paranormal subjects, and a few years ago, one of many topics related to time travel was being discussed, specifically about a supposed time traveler named John Titor. However, there was another related topic about a man who won the lottery so many times, that men in black eventually caught up with him and he was never to be seen again. The stor

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
The argument will always be you can't change the odds even though our odds are based on set conditions. It's a fact 2.56% of all the groups of 28 will match all five numbers in every drawing and you're simply betting you selected one of them. It's also a fact 2.50% of all QPs will win a prize so the odds against a group of 28 numbers matching five numbers are slightly better than better than those overall odds of a like number of QPs winning any prize.. Using Roulette as an example, I tried t

Lottery Games Are Nothing But A Big Pool Of Players.Play Less Often For Less Lines To Win Big.
NEW YORK LOTTERY's explanation to the lack of sweet million winners. It is still true that for $1, the Lottery's new Sweet Million game offers the best odds of winning $1,000,000. The odds of 1: 3,838,380 to win the jackpot of $1,000,000 cash is over 3 times better than the average $5 scratch off game, 6 times better than the odds to win the Lotto jackpot and over 45 times better than your odds to win the Mega Millions jackpot. However it's always about the sales. Currently, we have sales of

How much Power do we have hereReply
Games like Kentucky Cash Ball with fixed payoffs could easily sell 10 cent tickets with a minimum $1 bet. For a $1 you get 10 chances to win $20,000 compared to 1 chance to $200,000. It would be more difficult with jackpot games like PB and MM. It might be interesting when 10% of the jackpot was won and the other 90% is applied to the next drawing. Actually I wish I was in charge of a Lottery Commision lol. I got some ideas. The problem with presenting new types of games and bets are the

Do YOU know any lottery winners personally?Reply
Yeah, I do. Actually, I know two people that won a lottery jackpot, but their stories arent as good as you might think. Their stories arent bad stories, but neither person is wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. The first guy was a former co-worker. As best I can recall, he netted $72,000 playing NY's Take5. The win came at a perfect time for him. He had made an offer on a house, and it had been accepted. The closing had yet to happen when he won, so after he won, he called the bank and said

What do you preferReply
I immediately cast my vote for scratch (rip) offs because the few I did buy years ago made me feel as though I was just exchanging legal tender for worthless paper that dirtied my car (the grey scratch off stuff). Had a few small dollar winners for a string, but I saw those as just a way to rope one into buying yet another scratch off that would be worthless. From time to time, you hear about the person who purchased the big winner using the proceeds of a small dollar winner, but that story has
