Hi all, I am new here. Found this site looking for a better way to "beat" Cash 5. Been playing the Cash 5 and Pick 3 for a long time because the odds are... well, attainable. I never really mess with multi-state games unless I feel very lucky or the jackpot gets really large as the odds are just too high IMHO.
Not having much luck though. For both Pick 3 and Cash 5, I have sets of numbers that I came up with that I play over and over again on multidraw tickets.
My Cash 5 Numbers:
01-03-11-17-31
01-04-09-21-29
03-04-11-17-20
01-07-08-12-30
01-09-13-21-26
I missed the Pick 3 today by a single number, which was frustrating. For Pick 3, I run the numbers both boxed and straight.
My Pick 3 Numbers:
8-2-6
4-0-9
6-2-9
7-5-9
5-9-1
0-4-7
5-8-3
7-5-9
2-1-6
3-6-2
When I do play Powerball, I do something kinda stupid that I am sure everyone will think insane. My birthday is 12-30-1981, so I key 01-08-12-19-30 over PB 1 thru 39. If it ever did hit, I am sure that officals at the lottery office would fall out of thier chairs (as would the retailer who sold the ticket) as I would hit the jackpot plus the five-ball prize 38 times. When the PB heads up north of $150 million, I often buy between $1K and $5K in quick picks as well as my dumb little birthday thing. Usually I dont spend more than $1K on a drawing unless its north of $250 million, then I start jucing it. I am ashamed to say that I bought $11K worth of QPs back when it was up over $300 million a few years ago. I did have alot of tickets that won smaller amounts, unfortantly not nearly enough to pay for all the tickets. I took a lottery vacation for about a year after that, I got kind of upset with myself.
Are there any syndicates that attack the smaller games that I could buy into? It seems like the power of buying a large spread could really go to work for a small syndicate operating on Cash 5. In any event, I am sure there has to be a more sound way to attack these three games and put the odds more in my favor using smarter keys, etc. I would like to spend more per drawing on Cash 5, but have not been able to find a way to attack it that I like enough to commit the extra cash.
Anyone willing to share some tips with a newbie?
