THE LOTTERY 50/50 RULE= PLAYING THE LOTTERY IS A WIN/LOSE SITUATION NO MATTER HOW MANY TICKETS WE BUY.

BUYING 1 LOTTERY TICKET GIVES YOU A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT.

THE SHOTGUN PLAYING METHOD TO WINNING A LOTTERY JACKPOT.

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.

Yes you can increase your chances of winning by buying more tickets, but every single ticket will go against the Odds of 1 in 175,711,536.

"Thrifty is right, each individual ticket (one line of numbers) is up against the very same odds, 175,000,000 to one."

"There is one, and only one set of sinning numbers drawn - not one set of winning numbers drawn for each line played."

THE THREE PLAYING METHODS WITH A LOTTERY STOP LOSS LIMIT.

1) PLAYING MORE OFTEN FOR LESS LINES.

2) PLAYING LESS OFTEN FOR MORE LINES.

3) PLAYING LESS OFTEN FOR LESS LINES.

A LOTTERY STOP LOSS LIMIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE A SUCCESSFUL LOTTERY PLAYER OVER THE LONG RUN.

"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."

PLAYING THE LOTTERY MORE OFTEN FOR MORE LINES= SPENDING MORE MONEY= GAMBLING ADDICTION.

REMEMBER THE NUMBER ONE RULE IN BETTING: NEVER BET MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY.

Imagination creates our reality. Do not worry, keep seeing yourself a winner in your imagination, and you will win someday my friend.

Seeing is Believing. Trust your mind visions, daydreams, etc because they can change your life if you choose the positive ones.

Seeing is Believing. It is a winning ticket picture to show the shotgun playing method in action. Daniel Bruckner won a $206M MM Jackpot with that ticket on December 27, 2011 in New York. Daniel Bruckner and his wife were visiting someone in Long Island NY when he won the MM Jackpot. They live in California.

THE LOTTERY IS A ZERO-SUM GAME. No lottery player can WIN without another lottery player LOSING .

Thrifty, this is true, also the losers have to lose twice as much as the winners win,

since only half of sales goes into the JP.

I've wondered about this and I found this thread. The odds are 1\175000000. If you buy 10 or 100 does that change it to 1\17500000 and 1\1750000?

Yes, but keep in mind that the odds still remain astronomical. 1 in 1.75 million may sound a lot better than 1 in 175 million, but there's still a 99.9999% chance that you will NOT win the jackpot. Some people think it's more accurate to phrase it as 10 in 175 million and 100 in 175 million.

If you have some free time (a couple hours, at least), check out this recent thread, in which the topic is discussed and disected 10 ways to Sunday.

@Thrifty, I'm likeing that Lottery stop Limit thing...it kinda makes perfect sense. But what did you mean about that shotgun effect? Does it mean it's better to buy a ticket with many rows or lines of numbers, rather then buying a ticket with just a single row/line of numbers?

shotgun=many lines

sinper=one line

Anything is yours, if you only want it hard enough. Just think of it. ANYTHING. Try IT. You will succeed.
