Yeah, I know you play Little Lotto. Here's the last two years, individually and combined. So far this year it's been 16 Player Picks and 17 QPs not counting tonight.
First, the results for the last two years;
These were the 2008 results:
146 Jackpots
120 QP 82.19%
91 PS 62.32%
(includes shared jackpots)
2008 was a leap year. So in 366 days jackpots were paid out 146 times or every 2.506 days
82.19% of the jackpot winners were QP
62.32% were player's selections, or PS
2009
365 drawings, 157 jackpots, a hit every 2.32 days.
To date:
157 Jackpots
132 QP 84.07%
87 PS 55.41%
Total jackpot money paid out to date: $33,295,000
Here's the results for 2008, 2009, and combined:
Two years combined
731 drawings
303 Jackpots
252 QP 83.16%
178 PS 58.74%
So it looks like the QP players were luckier.
Now, you said;
" If I choose to play birthdays, ages, favorite numbers etc and they all hit......that is definitely luck.
If I choose to believe I'm gonna win and I play numbers based onpast draws, gut feelings , dreams or any other signs...that's not luck!Remember syncronicity?
Kind of like " if it's your time to win" I'm not gonna wait for it to be my time......I'm gonna make it my time!
I don't know if you believe in the Laws of Attraction but when youput out what you want to the Universe and the doors start to open youstill have to do your part. That's not luck either.
I know people are gonna disagree on this and that's ok."

No, it's still luck. Whatever it's called, synchronicity or anything else, it's still luck when the numbers you played, no matter how arrived at, are the numbers drawn.
The Law of attraction does a lot to sell self-help books, (yeah, I've read it) but when the Law of attraction is used in the attempt to win multi millions of dollars in a lotto, it kind of becomes neutral towards that. The reason is that on any given drawing night millions of people are trying to use the Law of Attraction to win a jackpot - thus asking to shut out everyone else doing the same thing.
