I am kinda split on the whole book/projection/IRL/odds/etc. thing....lol....
Dracos won $100,000... beating 672,000:1 odds ....pretty remarkable and lucky at the same time. (odds of winnning 100k on SM)
Adam won $2,000,000...beating 3,120,000:1 odds....miracle #1 (HG odds of winning $2M)
Adam won $250,000....beating 2,520,000:1 odds....miracle #2 (KR odds of winning 250k)
Adam won $100,000....beating 1,800,000:1 odds....miracle #3 (GRD odds of winning 100k)
You can glean or discern all the book numbers you want but you still need a boatload of luck and a strange, rare ability to beat some very long odds ranging into the millions upon millions to one.
I have played/followed the lottery since it started and have never seen anything like the run of good fortune like Adam had last year and I seriously doubt in my lifetime I will ever witness a 4-6 month run like it again. I loved reading the posts about his wins and thought it was the most incredible run of good luck I have ever heard of in my entire life. Its one thing to win $10k or $20k on a scratch off and it feels incredible but $2M, $250k and $100k??? Come on....just unreal!
I am currently playing #1288 $5M Flamingo books and should lightening ever strike for me I will gladly post the pic on this forum and quit scratch offs for good. I have started playing the draw games again (Fantasy 5 and Play 4) after getting really lucky a few years back on both games. Those games are simple and the odds never change. You pick the numbers and you win the prize. The way the lottery handles scratch offs is ridiculous and infomation posted here over the past few days just goes to show how poorly its handled. Flamingo is currently selling books in the 840,000 range when only 760,000 books were printed for the game. I have been trying very hard with no luck at all in getting the book numbers that were skipped and when the print is going to end but have been given the silent treatment for the past month from the lottery which is frustrating.
Just my $.02 on things,
Best of luck to everyone out there scratching!
