"LOTTO"...Do You Play & do You have your own System?

Jump to new
The only time/way I can see a point in playing Lotto us when there is a big jackpot. I understand that the additional money in the pot means that prize winners will get a bigger return than otherwise.

But in the end the bank always wins..

Certainly not a Martindale system.

My system is to get sucked in by the ~40mil 1st division prize, buy a quickpick, and delude myself that I actually have a chance.

No system, just a SlikPick
We probably buy about 3 tickets a week for the Thursday with a SlikPick.
9 out of 10 we seem to get 2 numbers and the bought jackpot number, hence our donation to the system/charities is about half of the ticket price.
Looking at the extreme minor wins we have had, one would incorrectly assume that that number of winning numbers would increase!!!!!

Should have typed in "3 tickets a month"
 
Just a Thought

Are You aware that Approx 50% of all Lotto wins come from Only 5 digits.....1-10?

Example:...Digits 1-2-3-4-5 = 25 Numbers

How Many Groups of 5 are there? = 252
 
Just a Thought

So if 5 digits/Lines is your best chance to Win....How do you play?

Playing 6 numbers from 5 Digits/Lines can Only be played 1 way!

You must Play 2 numbers from 1 line/digit to get 6 numbers!

how?

Lets take lines 1- 3-4-6-9 = 23 Numbers/Group of numbers!

Example you like line 1.....We have 1/11...1/21...1/31...1/41...11/21...11/31...11/41...21/31...21/41...31/41....There are 10 Combinations of 2 Numbers!

Now it's just a Matter of combining these with the other 4 digits/lines in 3-4-6-9

Example: 1-11-3-24-36-29....bingo we have just played a set of 6 numbers from our Group of 23 numbers

To have a complete understanding of my thoughts, simply go to lotto Results & look at Each Result through the Eyes of Digits/lines as you can only win through 5.....2 lines/3 lines/4 lines/5 lines/6 lines & 5 has the highest % of wins & 2 very rarely comes up & 3 only comes up between 1 & 3 times per year.

What i am basically saying here is to Have the Best chance of winning lotto one must Play all Their sets of 6 Numbers in 5 lines to have the best chance followed by 4 lines Then 6 Lines

Yes, i know whoever reads this is probably saying, if i Know so much about the workings of Lotto....Have i WON?

Sweet answer is NO hahaha;)
 
I'm a lotto virgin. Never bought a ticket, indeed I've no idea how much it costs or even how many numbers one has to pick.

Closest it gets is raffle tickets, although I'll only do that if I'm satisfied it's raising money for a legitimate charity etc. Never won anything with them.

I've won a few competitions where some sort of skill is required though. Won first price in two separate Christmas lights competitions in different years in the 00's. Won the ASF annual stock picking competition once. Answered the questions on a quiz on radio a long time ago and won a prize. Also a couple of academic prizes (actual prizes from sponsors not just a certificate etc) many years ago. :2twocents

Breaking Down Lotto into smaller Chunks in Coming to Understand Where The winners Come From

Where can we Win?

LOTTO 6.....(6 Lines).....1-1-1-1-1-1
LOTTO 5.....(5 lines)......2-1-1-1-1
LOTTO 4.....(4 lines)......2-2-1-1....3-1-1-1
LOTTO 3.....(3 Lines).....2-2-2.....3-2-1
LOTTO 2.....(2 Lines).....3-3.....2-4.....4-2

100% of all Lotto Wins Come From here!

I'm going to start with LOTTO 5....Approx 50% of all 1st Divisions Fall in this Group!

LOTTO 5 = 252 Groups of numbers Starting with 1-2-3-4-5= A Group of 25 Numbers Down to 6-7-8-9-0= A Group of 20 Numbers

So in total we have Groups of 25...24...23...22...21...20 Groups of numbers in the 252 possible combinations of LOTTO 5

I Play a small group from LOTTO 5 just out of my Interest in Systems & i have Determined that the lowest cost to play every group of Numbers within LOTTO 5 is approx $1,210....Sounds like a lot, but considering 1 Group in LOTTO 5 20 numbers is approx $37,000 it's not much in the scheme of things.

Any Thoughts?
