What do you say? Are you superstitious or not?

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.

Tiggs, I worker for the post office for awhile, too.

The clowns were the 204B's.

Superstitious, NOT, it's Bogus......

Favorite # is 13, Friday the 13th is my Lucky Day, Broke many mirror's, nothing ever happened. Walked under Ladders, nothing ever happened. No Lucky Charms, I love Apples, but still need to go to the Doctor at times. Black Cats are Cool. I've found many 4 leaf clovers but never had any real good luck. Stepped on many cracks in the sidewalk, MaMa is Fine. A horseshoe, hung above the doorway, is suppose to bring good luck to a home, darn thing fell and hit me in the head. They say...Rosemary planted by the doorstep will keep witches away, she still shows up.

I don't believe walking under a ladder is bad luck but I think if you believe it is, it can be in your own mind. You'll start attributing every unfortunate incident to it and perpetuate your belief in it.

Superstition: A belief or notion, not based on reason, knowledge, or experience.

A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimensions!

Catch-22: A dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions.

Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges: When the republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous.

The best way to learn is to never stop being an Experiential Student!

The superstition about walking under ladders probably comes from actually walking under ladders and risk getting a paint bucket which hangs on the ladder on your head.

Whether you admit it or not, when you are dealing with the scary odds that are against you in the lottery, everyone has got to be on some level superstitious. Besides, buying the lottery, everything else is out of your hands. THere's got to be a charm, a ritual, or signs to look for to bring luck our way. I am generally not superstitious (as in stepping on cracks, breaking mirrors, black cats, etc), but when I dream about numbers, I take it as a sign!

Best,
