How To Hit The Big Jackpots, Anyone???

The Latest Quarter Billionaire From Powerball...

"James Wilson, an 84-year-old retired electrician from Missouri, has claimed the $254 million Powerball jackpot from the January 24th drawing. Wilson, a World War II veteran from St. Louis, bought the lucky ticket an hour before the drawing. Wilson asked the clerk for a $5 ticket shortly before the Powerball drawing. The clerk mentioned that the shop had some $5 Powerball "Quick Pick" tickets with computer-selected numbers already printed. Wilson agreed to purchase one of those and took the next ticket: it happened to be the big winner!...." From www.powerball.com as of 1/30/2007.

Apparently this is a case of dumb blind luck hitting on Mr. Wilson. Sorry, no dumb blond luck and good old Wilson does not need that to win. *Wink, wink* The good doc will have to strategise with Freddie to see if we can come up with a right mix of luck and skills in conquering the biggies comparable to this lucky dog. LOL!!!

yes .....I did some test runs for one of my Lotto models last night
for Keno..here are the results ( now, for those who doubt the power of wheeling, I couldn't have got these results via Quick Picks or numbers based on my relatives' birthdays, no way !. Random or not, some degree of manipulation is possible with these Lotto numbers ):

[4/4 ] two lines : $200
[6/8] one line : $10.00
[6/7] one line :$50.00
[5/7] six lines :$30.00
__________________________
Total refund = [ $290.00]
__________________________
I just need to tweak the Lotto model, and Keno is a good testing ground
for different models so I will let you know when the model is ready to be used for Powerball, doc.

Oh, testing. A different topic. Some advice.

How do you construct and test your models? Hint -- don't do it on the same full set of historical data. Construct your model on a random slice of the data, if you use history, and test it on a different random slice of the history.

Otherwise, your model may train to see patterns where there is really just random noise that you won't see in future draws.

Also, how do you know you're beating quickpicks? Run a simulation -- re-run the tests with a large number of iterations (1000?) of randomly picked sets the same size of your wheel. Order the results by size, and you'll see whether you're getting returns that are in the usual range, or something spectacular.

I usually compare output to historical data ..with Keno as I stated
I frequently have several lines hitting 7/10, on accasion, 8/10 a few times 9/10.

The problem with Quick Picks is that they are truly random..in the sense they don't take into account short term patterns..eg: numbers that have not been played for a long time. In Keno this is important...if a number hasn't been played for over 2 weeks
it almost certainly will be played within days !

I have never had any luck with Quick Picks ..other than a boxed play
Pick3, $88 and 3 numbers 649, $10.00
When you are doing your own numbers you can incorporate these things into your model.

.......................................
btw I only started buying lottery tickets May of last year
This is my track record so far:

Total winnings since May 06:
~$20,000.00

5/6 - 649 once
7/7 Keno once
6/6 Keno twice
Pick3 - straight (Twice)
Early Bird Lottario - once
4/4 Keno - over 20 times

So as you can see - I am either a very lucky person or there is something
I am getting right once in a while.

Tonight (Ont Keno) I have one line 4/4, 2 lines 4/5
....just this week alone I have 4/4 on Keno 4 times, thanks to my 4- number wheel.

Freddie, the good doc thinks you are a rather lucky guy and you do right from time to time as far as lotto strategies, methodologies, and implementation go. So by all means do this 6-number wheel based on your past success. It probably will be on a trial and error basis until the right mix is found. If so, it will be the birth of TERB lotto syndicate via a Big Bang!!! *Wink, wink*

It is the good doc's 1234 post count again. Déjà vu eh? It struck once before. May be the second time is a chime. *Wink, wink* Perhaps the secret to the universe and thus the key to hitting the biggies are really as simple as 1234. Or perhaps what appears as simple is really really complex and what appears as complex is really really simple. Perhaps by now you have come up with a sure fire way to conquer luck??? Let the show begin, shall we??? LOL!!!

You omit a key piece of information. How much have you had to spend to win $20K? If you are buying $1000 worth of tickets each week on all these various games, you're actually in the hole, and you'd be better off doing nothing.

Tonight's Mega Millions Lotto Jackpot Is...

A whopping $267 millions. Freddie, it is time to bring out your most sophisticated lotto picking model and lady luck too if you can find her. LOL!!! Oh btw, someone please remind Mr. FatOne to spend a dollar for the big one. https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1556011&postcount=7 *Wink, wink*

I can count MM. The initial budget was from a pick3 win on which
I had a $5/wager ( $2,570.00). After that the subsequent winnings financed themselves The idea is NOT to use your regular income to purchase
lottery tickets - except the initial investment ofcourse.

Whatever you borrow from your regular income you pay it back when you win.

Your finance the ticket purchases with the money you win.
That's why every time you buy tickets for the big ones you should always buy the smaller lotteries with better odds at the same time. If all you are purchasing are 649 /Super 7 tickets you are bound to end up in the hole. That is guaranteed !!! Particularly if you are just relying on dumb luck, with no play strategy of any sort in place.

I can assure you that if I was wagering $1000/week my winnings to date would be substantially more than $20,000!

Keep in mind the small lotteries don't pay a lot but they are good entertainment if you enjoy fooling round with numbers.
None of us who play Keno, Pick3 etc are doing it to get rich, but it can be a lot of fun.

Freddie:

The biggest Mega Millions Lotto jackpot so far ($340 Million USD) is here for the Terb Lotto Syndicate to hit. http://www.lotterypost.com/news/152110.htm The last drawing was 14-21-33-35-51 + 43, quite close to the good doc's simplistic model of combinations from 1, 2, 3, 4, with the variations of 5, 8, 6. Apparently Mr. FatOne did not hit it with his dollar bill or he didn't play at all. Wonder if Lady Luck will pay us a visit this time around. LOL!!!

I have not posted on the lotto threads in ages, I've kept my mouth shut. If you wish to believe in your deluded bullshit, then go ahead, I am disgusted, but I don't care. I'll leave you to your silliness, just don't drag my name into it.

 

[FatOne]

another silly person who just doesn't get it. Lotteries are entertainment - part of the entertainment is scheming for that elusive edge. If you treat this as part of your entertainment budget and not your investment plan then you don't have a problem - so stop fraken up my fun, you party poop-er.

bbk

I play the lotto, as explained much earlier in the thread. I play a ticket when the prize gets really high, for the fantasy of winning a boatload of cash.

As for the rest, I won't bother explaining it, as it is pointless. Just pick any political thread to figure out why.

That's why you never win. It's unfortunate OLGC don't issue charitable donation receipts. Try playing some lotteries where you actually have
some chance of winning and have some fun playing while you are at it
but stop resorting to statistical analysis to back up your arguments when by all accounts
you don't seem to have a clue what you are talking about.
Those who understand statistics can actually use their knowledge to win some real money once in a while.

LOL!!! What's your problem, Mr. FatOne??? Where is your sense of humor or humour eh??? Can't hit the huge jackpot with your precious dollar bill eh??? Is that the problem??? Stop being disgusted and save your energy for something more positive, will you??? What make you think you are not the most delusional and silliest of all in cyperspace??? Who are you to judge anyone or anything??? Perhaps you think you are the almighty God all of a sudden??? That will be quite some illusion, isn't it??? And unfortunately, once you post something or say something in public, it is forever public history. You can't withdraw your name like a turtle withdraw its head. It is forever etched in Terb and the larger metaphysical reality no matter how hard you try to erase or delete it. LMAO!!!

Lol..I think Fatone doesn't understand that just because the jackpot has gone up that doesn't mean that his odds of winning have gone up as well..

LOL!!! Mr. OSOG (One Shot On Goal), that is, with his precious one dollar bill will need the almighty God to help him hit the biggie today, valued at USD$355 Million. http://www.lotterypost.com/news/152253.htm Mr. FatOne seems to be skeptical of the serious side of lotto gaming, such as the employment of various lotto strategies and number picking models. However, he seems to forget the lighter and entertainment side of this sport, namely you can have fun playing with numbers for the purpose of hitting the jackpots or winning smaller prices with sensible investments. So lighten up, pick 6 numbers, spend a dollar, and dream on. LOL!!!

The Key To The Mystery of Big Jackpots

The good doc is often impressed with his ancient cousins Pythagoras, Plato, and the like, who seemed to think that the secret of the universe is governed by some secret formula or equation. Thus the same can be said of Lotto games. With Mega Millions swelling to $122M this coming Tuesday and Powerball at $181M, http://www.usamega.com/, that is a whopping $303M combined. Perhaps it is worthwhile reviving this sort of thinking and see if the TERB Lotto syndicate can solve the mystery this time. Where is the good doc's good friend Freddie? LOL!!!

 

[DirtyDave]

"craps player could roll sevens at will. I doubt any human being has such control over his movements."

This is completely wrong. There are a few guys in the world that can control the dice. Not that they throw it 100% of the time, but they have made a living out of it.
