Depends on whose money they're working with? Their own? Investors? Laundry?

You won't know until it blows up into a bigger story or never as they fade away.

Most likely their own money, as they come from wealthy families. They will ended fading away like Joan Ginther whose last win was on 9/4/12. Once you win over $20 Million, quit while you're ahead. Invest those winnings into Blue Chip stocks that will triple it to $60 Million+.

Correct! The source of the money they're using is the key. My guess is somebody with big money is working behind the scenes. They're all young and smart, and probably made a compelling pitch to an investor that likes the thrill of gambling with big money. However nothing says they won more than they've spent. G5

Play Smart!

My guess is that a bigger jackpot makes the net win.

Imagine if they use that money on Pick-3 in an organized manner...

I never heard of people making money with pick 3 in this country. There are lotto players, you can win a million and more.

"cashed in 61 winning Hoosier Lottery scratch-off tickets on a single day in September."

It's a group of people buying $30 scratch-offs and getting very lucky. Betting $30 on and hitting a pick-3 number pays $15,000 at 1000 to 1 odds. Wonder what the odds against winning $15,000 on $30 scratchers are

"They will ended fading away like Joan Ginther"

Her story lives on, and it looks like they may have taken a page from her playbook. From the article: "In Indiana, the group appears to have gone on a frenzied buying spree in the final months of the MEGA CA$H game." Ginther's strategy was to buy as many tickets as possible in hopes of finding one of the remaining large prizes when enough tickets had been sold to give her odds that were better than the overall game odds. The published odds are based on how many winners there are out of all of the available tickets, but if the game is winding down and they've sold 95% of the tickets and 1 of 10 grand prizes is still unsold the chance that any random ticket will be that grand prize is twice as good. If 2 of 10 grand prizes are still available the chances are 4 times as good. I don't remember the exact details of Ginther's win, but she felt that the odds made it worth the risk of not finding the remaining winner.

That these people are buying lots of tickets all over the state for a game that's winding down strongly suggest that they're using the same approach. That they may have spent $2 million tickets and spent a lot of money on travel and (presumably) lodging suggest that they've got plenty of thier own money or are being bankrolled by somebody with plenty of available cash.

If you buy more you get closer to expectancy, the ride is less bumpy or there are no dry periods.

If you can bet 30 USD on one pick 3 combination, then you probably were raising your bet. The technique is simple. You buy more in a losing period. That is done often. Keno and pick 3 are games for this type of playing. You could go sit at a casino roulette table and play your row, raise the bet, staying under the maximum allowed bet. You have a minimum and a maximum bet allowed, the rest is what you are playing. Some stick to one number and play it for every spin instead of watching tv.

For scratchers you need the information of the lottery. The chances are published.

Some here were swearing on our win-for-life. I calculated that our daily keno was better. A simple system would be playing all 70 numbers spread over 7 pick 10's, add one combination to reach the even count. Those 20 winning numbers must be somewhere on your ticket. 0/10? Pays 3. 10/10? Pays 250000 pretaxed (taxfree). I do not play pick 3, I even avoided it knowing two straight hits with one combination in a month time. Fun fact, I don't like it.

20/70, example of coded quick pick:

1 13 20 22 26 27 28 29 45 54
2 3 24 38 39 46 61 65 67 70
4 8 30 35 36 37 42 49 51 53
5 6 19 21 23 32 44 48 57 60
7 10 11 12 16 18 33 55 64 69
9 15 17 34 41 50 52 63 66 68
14 25 31 40 43 47 56 58 59 62

The lines have distinct finals. Most of the time the result has 9 or 10 distinct finals anyway.

The last drawing was:

2 5 9 10 11 13 15 18 26 28 34 40 41 47 48 54 58 61 62 68

Let's see:

Lines: 7
Result: 2,5,9,10,11,13,15,18,26,28,34,40,41,47,48,54,58,61,62,68
Scores:
S: 0 F: 1 * 3 EUR
S: 1 F: 0
S: 2 F: 2
S: 3 F: 1
S: 4 F: 2
S: 5 F: 1 * 1 EUR
S: 6 F: 0
S: 7 F: 0
S: 8 F: 0
S: 9 F: 0
S: 10 F: 0

4 / 7 EUR payback.

I coded different quick picks ready to use, also for 20/80 and remixes.

Investing in the stock market would guarantee they lose all their money! What's coming upon the world at the end of this year will cause the destruction of the US. Nosradamus & the Bible both predict America will be destroyed in 2022!

Jesus is coming soon! Are you Rapture ready?
