  Thrifty, the problem you have is you don't say anything meaningful, all I see you say is 'only buy one ticket', etc.

  You may post some numbers, but you don't say HOW you arrived at those numbers. Anyone can pick numbers out of thin air.

  Back in the day, I used to be very intensive in explaining how I play, what I see, the problem was I got tired of folks that would belittle me, even when I proved my theories time and again, it just got OLD.

  Today, I could start over, and I would venture to say there are only about five folks on here that would have a clue what I'm talking about AND see what I see.

  "Thrifty, the problem you have is you don't say anything meaningful, all I see you say is 'only buy one ticket', etc."

  You finally got the message.It is ok for you to indulge yourself by playing 1 to 5 tickets sometimes like i do.Remember, lotteries are in business to make money which is very obvious.The lottery also hate players that play 1 to 5 tickets because they make money by making you lose the most in the short run.

  Buying more tickets increase your chances of winning, but you also lose more money in the short run because there is no certainty that you will win

  Lets be honest playing 1 quick pick ticket extends the short term for as long as possible.Patience is a virtue in life.When it comes to gambling, investing, love etc. The Fools that rush always pay the ultimate price.

  Lottery retailers could use one when you buy a lottery ticket by offering you a regular one for a dollar or a high quality one for a little more, just like filling your gas tank with regular or premium.

  I didn't think of that RJOh, I may have just given away the farm by divulging how I arrive at true QQID's (Quality Quantitative Indicator Devices).

  I hope I don't have to change my formulaic ramaframs.

  That sounds like a good strategy.

  I'm so confident that I'd even be willing to split if you win.

  Fact?

  Unless you are willing to bet EVERYTHING you own - and I doubt you would - don't say it is a 'fact'.

  Someone MIGHT win - and someone MIGHT NOT win - that is the only 'fact' there is.

  Buying multiple tickets in a syndicate (pool) or by yourself increase your chances of winning.But i have an issue when it comes to lottery pools, you can beat a lottery pool by winning the mega millions $12 millions with cash value $7 millions or powerball $20 millions with cash value $10 millions on the lower end.You do not have to wait until the jackpot reaches $100 millions to play powerball or mega millions because any amount from the starting jackpots can make a big difference in our lives.So think small and you might win big my friends.

  Some people start to play new york classic lotto when it approaches $20 millions.  I will be very happy with a $4 millions jackpot like the person that won the following jackpot.Playing for jackpots below $100 millions puts you in a winning mind frame bacause winning the lottery is about focus, and you can choose when to play for any jackpot amount, you don't have to follow the crowd to win big.LIKE THEY SAY SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE.THINK SMALL TO WIN THAT LOTTERY JACKPOT EVEN IF YOU PLAY 1 TO 5 TICKETS DAILY, WEEKLY OR MONTHLY.

  I did not play mega millions last night.I did not have the desire to play any lottery games this week.Maybe I'm just too thrifty to let go of my $5 dollars.New york lotto is at $4 millions, mega millions $33 million with a $21.5 million cash value and powerball $25 million with a $13.2 million cash value.Winning any of these jackpots will make a difference.Good luck everydody.Five chances in one of these games can make a bank account look great if luck comes our way.

  Your words are like pearls of wisdom.

  Would that I could dine on them with fava beans and a nice chianti.

  But alas, pearls are crunchy and I have few teeth.

  Why, I think it's a capital idea, THRIFTMEISTER, absolutely capital!

  I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm so absolutely confident of your strategy that I would be perfectly willing to split the jackpot with you if you win it.

  Right down the middle without a moment's hesitation!

  And then...

  The Victory Dance!

  1 QUICK PICK TICKET ON EACH. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE.When the universe wants you to win, you will win whether you buy 1 lottery ticket or 100 lottery tickets.GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY.
