The odds of winning a MM jackpot are 1:258,890,850 which means 99.999999996137368315643445876901 % of the combinations sold will not win a jackpot so it shouldn't be that hard for even the dumbest players to figure out why they haven't won a jackpot and most likely never will even if they live in one of those states that supposedly win all the time.

There's no helping them.

They are fair weather jackpot game lottery players:

A jackpot game lottery player who only buys a ticket when circumstances are pleasant or profitable (large jackpot). At the first sign of a small jackpot, these capricious, disloyal jackpot game lottery players will drop their relationship with MegaMillions & PowerBall and not buy a ticket.

A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimensions!

Catch-22: A dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions.

No one wants to win a small jackpot and have to put up with the media frenzy and publicity for chump change. Some people just don't get it ( my haters ). Sound familiar?

Yeah, sure haters. So any amount in the millions is chump change to you?

You give everyone else 1-star ratings and you rate your own thread 5-stars, what a creep.

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.

Dude.

Hate seems to be your favorite word. Kinda makes me think you are the hater. That's all you talk about. We've been down this road before. A difference of opinion does not constitute hate. Except for you. You keep bringing it up.

Why do you even hang out here?

The other posters that play the hater card are female.

pickone doesn't want answers to his questions, he just wants to keep asking the same questions.
