  While in a sense I agree there is no system, software or strategy formula that can guarantee a jackpot.  It is equally bogus to claim there is nothing you can do to improve your chances what-so-ever.  Just playing 9 numbers instead of 6 in a 6/49 game drops the odds of having all the winning numbers among your numbers from 13.9 million to 166 thousand.
  
  If sweeping over 12 million combinations off the table isn't improving your chances of winning something . . .

   That's where those fools lack intelligence. They only see things in black and white.

  They might not say anything to the vendor at all, they might however review the numbers on the tickets that were sold just before and just after the tickets that had many winning numbers, they might also take note of the times, days and dates and if they finally think that all those winning tickets from all those days were sold to the same customer, then they might in the future sometime put somebody there to look to see and maybe find that one customer and then it's anybodies guess what they would do about it.

  I've had similar thoughts. What are the ways they can "legally" change things to thwart our systems on a regular basis?

  Ball set rotations. In New York it's changed in order. Do you think they would switch ball rotations erratically, without us knowing? If they do/did that, would that be illegal, or a form of rigging?

  Increasing number field (but that can't be done regularly unless for good reason).

  Any others?

  Not to get you all too paranoid, but I perhaps they follow what's happening on this messageboard.

  ... which is why I have become increasingly more and more hush hush with how I pick my numbers.
