  Only when I forget what I had posted does the number actually hit. If I play what I post, it almost never hits. Luck of the foolish I reckon.

  I played numbers I posted for a longish time, and noticed exactly what you've said in your comment.  I even tested it as best I could, posting numbers that appeared to be obvious choices, but which I couldn't have played because the lottery was elsewhere.  Same thing.

  I wouldn't play a number I posted here under most circumstances, based on my own mindless conclusions drawn from repeated coincidence.

  If you don't trust your own predictions you shouldn't post them....

  Do you trust  yours?  Do the numbers you predict win jackpots?

  What others should, or shouldn't do is pretty well up for grabs on LP.  But if you predict numbers on pick 5 and pick 6 and they're hitters, you must have an enormous following.  Must also be a shockingly wealthy individual.

  I tip my hat to you.

  I have regular numbers that i play all the time then I'll do a work out to come up with more numbers to play. Most of the time I play them but sometimes I forget or am on a allowance for lottery and can't include them. Sometimes one of the numbers might come out and I'm looking all over the place for the ticket and then it dawns on me that I forgot to play them or didn't have enough money.

  I love doubles and remember, it's just a game!!!!!!

  I have a bad habit of not trusting the numbers I predict. However, if I post something I try to play it (unless I forget what I posted). Too many times I posted a number and then it fell. Made me mad enough times to start playing my own predictions. -Bonnie

  I only post predictions for the games I can actually play.  I think most posters trust their predictions as much as they would trust a QP, but when they post numbers for states that they don't live it or visit, they probably don't have the resources to play in those states.  Do you really believe people who post predictions for all states actually play those numbers in every state?  They're probably posting for fun.  You can check their prediction statistics if you have any doubt.
