THE THRIFTY WAY TO WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT WITH A LOTTERY STOP LOSS LIMIT AND THREE PLAYING METHODS.
"The key to winning is buying tickets with the winning numbers on them."
"It is a system that has never failed - not even once. It has won every single time it has been done." True but,
Playing the lottery more often for more lines= Spending more money= Gambling addiction.
THE SHOTGUN PLAYING METHOD.
HITTING THE TARGET.
when a shotgun is fired all those pellets that are crammed into the cartridge spread out so it's easier to hit the target.
"A LOTTERY STOP LOSS LIMIT IS VERY IMPORTANT and I urge anyone that plays to have a stop loss limit to protect their large sum of ready gambling money. You should have a stop loss limit to avoid losing too much money on a bad day. While setting up a loss limit is a great idea in theory, there are plenty of gamblers who won't have the will power to stick with these limits. These are the same people who will never make any money or come close to breaking even in gambling. It's definitely hard to stick with loss limits because there is so much temptation to keep gambling no matter which way Lady Luck is sending the money. The better you are at sticking with your loss limits over the long run, the more successful and happy you will be at the end of game play."
THE THREE PLAYING METHODS.
1) PLAYING MORE OFTEN FOR LESS LINES.
2) PLAYING LESS OFTEN FOR MORE LINES.
3) PLAYING LESS OFTEN FOR LESS LINES.
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE IN LIFE.
WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT IS ALL ABOUT PATIENCE. Patience pays when playing the lottery.
A LOTTERY STOP LOSS LIMIT IS VERY IMPORTANT to be successful over the long run.
The key to winning a lottery jackpot is BUYING ONE QUICK PICK TICKET with the winning numbers on it.
WHY BUY ONE QUICK PICK TICKET? "TO HAVE A LOTTERY TICKET IS TO HAVE A TALISMAN OF POSSIBLE WEALTH."
"To have a lottery ticket is to have a talisman of possible wealth that, when held and contemplated, brings immediately to mind the fantasy of wealth and makes it feel much more visceral. There is no equivalent talisman for the possibility of a wealthy aunt, and, hence, the fantasy is far weaker."
"The “fantasy aid” argument for purchasing a lottery ticket works in light of this very real gain in utiles by comparison to the far more passive fantasizing about one’s wealthy aunt. It isn’t hard to think of other examples of this “talisman effect” in fantasy and memory: physical books are relatively more expensive than ebooks (modulo Amazon’s future-oriented pricing); letters from lovers call to mind more poignant memories than do emails or remembrances; people save chips that are otherwise useless from casinos; etc. It would seem to me that smart, rational people are no less susceptible to the very real utile-increasing effects of talismans. This is a reason to play the lottery: you hold the possibility of riches in your very hand. No hypothetical relatives offer the same pleasure."

HEY YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING AGAINST CHANCE.
"WHICH HAS THE BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING: COMPUTER PICKS OR PLAYER PICKS?
About 70% to 80% of purchases are computer picks. About 70% to 80% of winners are computer picks. Perhaps just one of those weird coincidences?"
"HOW COME THE ONLY JACKPOT WINNERS ARE FROM THE [EAST - WEST - NORTH - SOUTH - CITIES - RURAL AREAS]? HOW COME ONLY [WHITE, BLACK, TALL, SKINNY, YOUNG, OLD] PEOPLE WIN?
Powerball is a random game that knows nothing about who buys a ticket or where a ticket is purchased. There really is no white/black/old/young/rich/poor, etc.] button on the machine. If one draws a box around some group of players (eg., state border, hair color, shoe size), then that group of players will win in proportion to their play. If the defined group buys 10% of the tickets, then they will win 10% of the prizes - on average and over a reasonable period of time. But that does NOT mean that you have a better chance of winning in a bigger box - you then just have more folks to play against. The Law of Large numbers explains how random expectations become truer as the number of occurrences increases. So, if players in a particular group buy 8.6754% of the tickets, then we will find, if the number of occurrences (prizes awarded) are large enough, that those players win 8.6754% of the prizes. This is definitely true for the low-tier prizes where there are large numbers of winners. With 12 to 15 jackpot winners in a year, we would expect that these percentages can get out of sync with sales from time to time, but as the number of jackpot winners continues to increase, we will find that the percentage numbers move closer and closer to being the same number. Try this experiment. Flip a coin four times. You might get 75% heads - or even 100%. You would not expect to get excited about that. With only ten flips, it can happen. But then flip it 1,000 times (no cheating). You will come much closer to the statistical expectation of 50% heads. If you hit 75% heads after 1,000 flips, then something is wrong. It really does NOT make any difference where you buy your ticket. It is you a against the draw machine."

Make sure you get 500 separate tickets so when you win, Thrifty will think you only bought one ticket. After all we don't want to contradict Thrifty's belief that all jackpot winners only buy one ticket.

Lottery tickets reduce your net worth unlike stocks. You only receive .50 cents back on every dollar you spend on lottery games in the USA. I have to agree that most players win the lottery by buying more than 1 lottery ticket, but they also lose a lot of money in the short run in opportunity cost.
They should raise the price of Mega Millions and Powerball to $5 per ticket and lets see how it feels to buy multiple tickets relative to saving it or investing it.
"The average lottery player nationwide spends $150 per month on the game. That's a lot of money and there's a significant opportunity cost in spending that much money every month on a game where your odds of winning are akin to burning your cash in the fireplace to stay warm."
There is nothing wrong with buying 1 lottery ticket at some time in the future to have a chance of winning a jackpot. -

Have you bought 2 quick pick tickets for mega millions or powerball to find out that the first digit on line A is repeated on line B? This has happened to me almost every time that I buy two quick pick tickets for mega millions or powerball. What do you think? Here is an example
A) 14, 16, 23, 30, 45
B) 14, 19, 28, 40, 51
It has been so frustrating that I have decided buy A SINGLE LINE regardless of the jackpot size for mega millions or powerball. I know the only solution is to pick my own numbers. But I feel that with high odds jackpot games like mega millions or powerball 1 quick pick ticket is the best option for me. -

I feel that it is a great advice ridge. I should buy my tickets separate to avoid the repeated numbers or buy a self pick line with a quick pick line.
They say that GOD represents the number 1.
A SINGLE LINE QUICK PICK on MEGA MILLIONS OR POWERBALL is not a bad idea.
