Topic: Any Lottery players here? Pick 2, Cash 3, Cash 4, Pick 5 numbers in particular. (Read 351 times)

The truth is that even if you take the time to make an analysis like that there is no way to be sure you will find something, this is similar to what some gamblers do when trying to analyze the roulette.

They keep track of the numbers and they try to find out if there is any bias on the roulette, however if the roulette is in good shape even if you take the time to crunch the numbers you could find nothing except that the roulette is working as intended, making all your effort a waste of time.

Lottery could be a pure luck-based gambling game because there are people who bought only one ticket but still got lucky while there were also bettors who have bet using multiple tickets and still got unlucky. Others are betting with randomly chosen number combinations while others have been betting with the same number combination for a long time. It could be the birthdates of their family members or a date of special occasions. The result usually depends on a person's luck.

Luck would be the only factor for a player to win in lotteries. Some would say to check on history such as number combinations and such but bottomline is that there's no such thing as a way to expectedly win on lottery betting. Algorithms do play a huge role. Buying multiple tickets would indeed logically increase the chances of winning but if you are just unlucky, then the other way around may still happen. On the other hand, there are individuals who bet in  solo manner but are just lucky enough to hit the jacpot. Pure luck based gambling games are indeed something. So if you are into it, expect more of a losing transction than anticipating guranteed victory.

Just use sports analogy, when you bet on favorite team where the odds is only @1.10, in order to earn $500, you need to bet $5,000. But if you bet on the underdog team where the odds is @10.00, you only need to bet $500, you will get $5,000 if you win.

So it's mean it's either you spend more money in order to win the lottery or you only spend small money and wish your ticket will be picked during the end of lottery draw.

Here in the Philippines, there's a lottery supported by the government which is the PCSO and this has a large amount of price pool like the others every day in the different lottery stations tons of people keep a waiting in line just to get their tickets and hoping to win a large amount of money, in terms of gambling casino I guess I didn't see so far have this instead its always happen when there's an event like before the Christmas there's a ticket for the players need to do before the Christmas ends and those have rewards and only people who follow the requirements will be part of the rewards.

Maybe if you've been following the lottery from a certain casino and have made or found a pattern, you can know what will come out. But it takes time to analyze the pattern until you find a pattern that will come out after the current pattern. And maybe some people who can or know about drawing up patterns can win the lottery but for most people, I think it will be very difficult.

In the past, one of my grandfather's younger siblings used to analyze the lottery numbers that had come out of the casino and try to figure out the pattern. But he still couldn't find it; strangely enough, when he just made a random guess about the numbers that would come out, the numbers actually came out. But unfortunately, he didn't buy the numbers and instead gave them to someone else and that other person won. But he got the money as thanks for giving the numbers.

I agree with the use of the word IF because you can still do these two things but you still cannot win a lottery or you can buy one ticket and there's a possibility that you can win, there were and will be countless of winners that only bought or will buy one ticket and won and win a lottery, I don't believe in mathematical calculation or divination it's been proven that these two has no effect on the result.

This requires the creation of a large community united by a common idea, who will not leave after several failures and who are willing to spend money to buy lottery tickets, for example, all this requires the cost of attracting, but quite often it can also turn out to be a scam on the part of the organizers of the pursuit of winnings.

it's hard to win the lottery because it's true that there is no other way but to buy lots of lottery tickets to win, but actually this is also due to the luck factor, the same as when playing gambling using lots of strategies but luck will find the winner.

we can see that some times the winners are being divided for couple of people meaning you are right that the combination of numbers are the same with each others and this increase the way of the Lottery to earn more than what the wins can provided so meaning also that there is no always winner here but the team behind the game.

In fact, there are many ways or formulas for predicting lottery numbers, and if they can be made correctly and correctly, then the percentage of matching numbers that comes out is 70-80%, so there is a big chance of winning the lottery.
There are several lottery players that I know and they have their own formula for getting numbers and the results often win even though only 2/3 of the output numbers can be absolutely correct.
If you ask why mathematicians and computer scientists don't band together to get a prize all the time then the answer is they can benefit quite a lot from their skills and they must already have enough wealth so why should they bet on the lottery.

There is in theory a way to improve your chances to win but it is too troublesome for most people to follow, most lotteries use a machine which uses air to add randomness to the process and make it fair for the participants of the lottery.

If we assume the same machine is used for long enough and you gather all the results the machine has given, it is possible you could find numbers which appear more often than they should, you could pick those numbers and increase your chances of winning, but this method is simply too laborious and I do not expect most people to pull this off.

If they won the lottery, it had nothing to do with the 'system' used. Like if I go to the casino saying I have a system to win at roulette, I bet on a single number and I win. All lotteries give out considerably less in prizes than they collect, maybe 30-40%, sometimes less. Which means that if you used the great system of buying all the numbers to win you would be left with at least 30% less than the money used, depending on the lottery.

All the rest is just mental wankery.

If I remember it right , there is a thread here about some bunch of people tries to win against lottery and yes some of them succeeded after calculation and studies and of course with bit capital to use.
i understand the frustration to win lottery but for me ? it is better to stay that way of Luck based gambling , just bet with one ticket and limited amount trying to find your luck and not to carry your entire living from the chance of winning.

Basically, you can win in a lottery draw if:

a) you're extremely lucky
b) you buy a boatload of tickets

I'm not a math guy really, but I guess you can find all the necessary calculations online. You need to buy A LOT of tickets, only then you have a decent chance of winning.

I think it would be rare if the same numbers are being drawn from the machine every day (if the lottery is daily). So what I think is better is to avoid those numbers. Some people though might include those numbers in their picks since these number is hot from the following days. But for me, every time it is drawn, it'll have a lower chance to be included in the winning numbers on the next day. Regardless, since it is random, that still does not make sense when it comes to statistics.

I don't believe in any pattern in the lottery which can guarantee your winning, as the winning is always uncertain.
We can't predict any specific design or theory called authentic and genuine.

You're in for a treat if you think lottery numbers can be predicted and follow certain patterns and use historical data to produce future draws. There were a number of studies trying to use Mathematics in order to predict future draws—or at least get close to what the actual numbers are. Most of them, in paper and in theory, seem sound and would have likely worked. However, when they're applied in the real world they're not even close to what the actual numbers are. Sure, computers can try and exhaust all the possible numbers that are most probable to appear in the draws, but the number of these combinations would surely be high still, and if you want to hit one big win you will have to invest in a number of combinations and of course, some substantial amount of $$$ without any guarantee that those numbers presented to you will hit.

Perhaps if you're one of those people behind the scenes during a lottery draw, you would know the outcomes. Results can be rigged, and it's as easy changing some balls with lighter ones and tada! You just have won a few million dollars thanks to cheating and your access to those magic balls of destiny.


True, no matter how exhaustive your analysis is, and no matter how much processing power you have put in to come up with a pattern, or even with a system of predicting future draws, you will always lose your money to the lottery no matter what.

If lottery is that easy to crack, and if there is a system to it, then why aren't mathematicians and computer scientists band together and get the prize every single time?

Not just on lottery but also on other luck based games like for example in dice. There are some who thinks that the previous result has to do with the future result. They can also invent different strategies. There are times where co-incident happens and they win.

This can fuel their beliefs and think that what they did is really working. Well if they play the game this way, I think it's fine and we shouldn't correct them because these people can only hate us. A belief is only wrong once there are people who already got hurt or if the believer is the one who is hurting himself/herself. If that is the case then they should be stopped in a forced manner.

i keep saying i am in agreement with you with the fact that with mega lotteries the odds are too great to make a difference no matter what you do.  i get that.  i am talking about smaller lotteries where you only pick 3 or 4 numbers where the odds are substantially smaller you can increase your odds.  if you have 1 in 999 odds you can do certain things to increase your odds of winning a pick or cash 3 number. i truly believe if you don't play a cash 3 you aren't understanding what i'm talking about and can only relate this to what you know about and that is the mega and powerball lotteries.

To clarify i'm talking about picking numbers like 123 218, 345 for cash 3 and 1234 or 2343 for cash 4.  I'm not talking about guessing a mega number set like 1-2-3-4-5 and then the mega ball.  That is pretty much impossible and can't be predicted any kind of way.   I am being redundant since many don't seem to fully understand what my point was.
