Hey MaddMike51,
The Lottery plays by its own rules and we all know anything is possible.
There's nothing wrong with playing the same set of numbers or even quick picks if that's how you choose to play. I don't believe there's any ONE method or system you need to win .
I don't buy quick picks (but believe me everyone I know does) because I just don't feel good about them and I would much rather choose my own numbers.
I don't read the predictions because I'm not interested in what other people are playing and the predictions don't tell you how they came up with those numbers. I do enjoy reading some of the threads that have occasional bits of information along with the predictions.
As far as systems...I don't own any lottery software so I can only guess as to how they work. I learned to do everything by pencil and paper and continue to do so. I look to see whats been going on in the past 5-10 games and then decide what type of numbers I'm looking for. I keep a hit and miss chart of the numbers and from this I choose what numbers I think have the best chance of hitting. Then I choose my combinations to play.....again based on what I think is going to happen and what the individual numbers have been doing. Many times numbers I like would make very poor choices(let alone to put them in a line together) I don't wheel my numbers.
Is my method any better than yours? LOL more than once I've spent the afternoon choosing numbers I'm just sure are gonna hit only to have none of them hit........... and then someone will hit all the numbers with a QP. HAHA the good old lottery.
I'm glad your not stressing out but I was referring to the people who play the same set of numbers and then feel they have to keep playing them for fear the one time they don't.....the numbers will hit. LOL I don't want to be married to a set of numbers.......I'm already married to my job : )
