While I am in the business of making all sorts of predictions that transpire all the time, I never read about a psychic, a medium or an astrologer winning the lottery... But today 9/19/2014 I will give my best shot and play the numbers I wish win me the jackpot! And if God let me win, chance are I will open my own school of thoughts...

If your predictions transpire as you put it- you do not have to " give it your best shot"-kinda reminds me of something l read a few weeks back, this supposedly well known evangelist from Africa said that he has performed resurrections over the course of his ministry spanning decades.

Hey - if that thought brings him comfort..so be it.l say the same for you dr.

What are the odds of winning the lottery when you are a pro?

It's a fixed number universe, the odds never change, pro or not.

A pro can adopt a strategy tradeoff that can enhance the chance of winning when things go one way and reduce or eliminate chances to win when they go the other.

For example: You can elect not to use the numbers from the previous draw in the next. This option will prove correct roughly 45% of the time and when correct eliminate 45% of all combinations (combinations those numbers would appear in).

I believe a pro, will weight all the probabilities of the games outcome. Eliminate more numbers off their list then the average person, but the odds remain the same a 50/50 chance. Good Luck. God bless you.

There are psychics who won. It can take a while to win.

A pro would own the lottery, not play it, if you talk sure money.
Some went for it and won, newspapers don't show the losers,
unless they won big and lost all afterwards.

I don't know any professional players, but met several jackpot and second prize winners.
Those travel.

Besides I write dates like 2014-09-20 or 20.9.2014, that is the logical way.
In the past we also wrote the weekday with the date. Comments automatically get a datetime.

Dr. Turi, Good Luck. You are lucky now that you survived the floods there in Arizona this past week.

I choose to play the same numbers over and over. Some have played this way and won twenty years later. And some have not won playing this way.

Take anything this man "predicts" with a truckload of salt. A pinch of salt is not enough.

He will come with vague statements which with some retrofitting almost seems real.

Games with the lowest number pool provides the best odds. Luck can not be eliminated though. That's why it's a game of "chance" not certainty. Even people who play with systems can't change that.

Following the trends and patterns means following the money!

I have yet to meet a "pro" at lottery or at any other gambling game. Sooner or later the tide will turn in favor of the house,that's a no-brainer. Yes, you can ride a wave for awhile but sooner or later you will wipe out.

I'll bet you met at least a couple pro poker players right here on LP.

Just for funsies....

Imagine someone gave you a magical pair of pants. Magical in this way: Each front pocket mysteriously manifested exactly one $1 dollar bill, every 30 minutes. That's $2/hour. Now, if you didn't take it out of your pocket, no second dollar would appear - that one dollar bill would remain there, alone. But, if you removed either dollar bill... precisely 30 minutes later, a second $1 dollar bill would, again, magically appear in its place. And so on and so on.

So, here's the question: Given this situation... what would be the smartest thing you could do, under those circumstances, with those extra dollars?

Easy:

PLAY THE LOTTERY EVERY HOUR EVERY D*MN DAY!!!!!

Genuine Psychics and Mediums usually have the supernatural come to them. In other words, If they claim they can see future events at will, they're lying.

It's unlikely that anyone who believes he/she has won a lottery using a trick or special skill would share the information fearing others might try to duplicate their win before they had done it again themselves.

A pro has just as much a chance at winning the lottery as an average person. You need luck more than anything else.
