  The Lottery Fairy must have got a real kick out of this one:

  Numbers drawn: 15   20   23   26   30   Mega 17

  My ticket:            17   23   25   26   49   Mega 20

  

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  i feel the pain... it hurts more when they're on one line.  Maybe it's Lotto Fairy telling you should've played Illinois regular Lotto instead , 4 out of 6 on 1 Line  pays  a lot, maybe a couple thousand
