I think that combining method of exclusion and methods of Richard Lastig (read his book) could increase chances of winning. If one plays the same combination over and over, or say 10 of them, they can then check if those combinations line up with excluded numbers and play only when they do line up. This is again just a thought, no one is ever forced to fallow someone's propositions, and no one is legally bound for what results their tips produce when others fallow their hints.
Richard Lastig mentions that it involves work to figure combinations, to safe -roof them by checking against previous winning combinations and it takes financial discipline to play. Just think that persistently accurate work to fallow through with playing your chosen game can pay off.
We work 40 hours a week, that leaves us with 72 hours of free time to do whatever else (sleeping excluded). Would you not devote some time to playing lottery properly and then may be in a year or few years get jack pot? If you love lottery, it gives you joy to play, then do it. Some people have a lot more expensive hobbies or habits and do not mind.
Another method could be: periodically difference among first and last number in winning combination is small, say, 20. That means you have to use only 20 numbers to play, a lot less. Of course, such combination does not happen every game. You can choose to play numbers from 3 to 23 only. And, say, you check if they line up with 4 numbers you chose to exclude, or someone online chose to exclude. Essentially, if you do not want to miss any game, then just randomly exclude 4 numbers out of those 20 numbers and then build as many tickets as you wish or can afford and hope for the best.
