The numbers from Lost. Played them for a while, a few of us here did. Was quite a dry spell for me. I think they really are jinxed.

Those and the number 42.

There was a thread on bad numbers:

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.

Every ball has equal odds of being picked by the lottery machine so no number is off limit.

I try to avoid the losing ones. It's going to work eventually.

I don't play many 40's when I pick my own numbers.

It's not like I consciously avoid them though.

Although I'm usually drunk.

So who knows?

I will say this though.

The Universe unveils itself to me when I'm plastered.

On occasion.

Its a matter of perspective. If you played the bonus number 36 on MM games for the past 815 draws you would have had been correct 28 times. On the other hand, if your chosen number was 28 you would have only been correct 9 time. http://www.usamega.com/mega-millions-stats.asp

OK then, 3628 in the pick 4 for the next 9 draws!
