No, onlymoney, your feeble attempt to manufacture an argument failed. What I posted previously is the logic that underlies the preceding joke, and I stand by both:
The fact is, it takes no skill the win the lottery, it just takes time. The math is very simple and predictable as any other mathematical formula. But most people don't have infinite time, so they die before they win. Simple as that.
Winning the lottery IS easy, it just takes time. And the more you play, the higher your wins will be. The problem is, people have finite lives, so the trick is to win the JP early before your life runs out.
Winning the lottery requires no skill. I'm sorry if that damages your fragile ego, but that's the fact. It's different than, say, winning an NBA championship. That requires players with talent and skill, an effective business plan and team management and sufficient funding. You can't just randomly select people off the street and just keep playing and eventually win the NBA championship. Game of skill versus game of chance.
You can try this out with a Powerball simulator:

It requires no skill to win. Just hit Start, and let it run for a couple of weeks, and BAM, you got a 5+1 Jackpot.
Now the question of whether or not skill can measurably improve your chances of winning the lottery? I don't believe so, but if you do, knock yourself out. Just like I don't believe in Allah or Shiva or Buddah, but if you do, go for it, I got no problem with that. Unless you go and attack people in the name of your beliefs, then we have a problem.
