Is there a Strategy to win the lottery?

Question

Is there a Strategy to win the lottery?

Answer 1

If there was do you really think someone would share it?

Answer 2

Yes, buy all the possible combinations. I dont know if you can call it "win".

Answer 3

Always wait until the money for winning exceeds the odds.  In powerball, for instance, the odds of winning may be 10,000,000 to one but the payoff might be 20,000,000 to one.  You actually have a house advantage.  If you played every combination of numbers, you would actually make a profit if you were the only winner.  Thats about the only strategy for playing.  Another strategy is to not play yet take full advantage of any State programs that might receive contributions from the lottery.  You receive a benefit without making a bet.

Answer 4

get as many rabbits feet, 4 leaf clovers, horse shoes and any other lucky charms you can get your mitts on

Answer 5

Buy all the tickets.

Answer 6

the only way to win is to hold as many tickets as possible. Having said this there is a way you can actually get paid to play the lottery and win even when your numbers DON'T COME IN!

Answer 7

There are some people who believe that it is set up (my husband) There is a couple that just said that they found an equation to figure it out. My husband thinks that certain numbers will come out, a certain density on the balls makes certain ones come through or maybe the size.  

Answer 8

There is no strategy, it is 100% chance.  

Answer 9

The psychologist Carl Jung, worked with

the Nobel laureate physicist, W. Pauli, and

they concluded that number is the most

primal archetype, (first form) of order in

the human mind. With regard to Jung's

"synchronicity theory" - number coincidences

do occur, and more often than we imagine.

This example includes appropriate

comments from senior researchers at

Princeton University, School of Applied

Science.

Answer 10

Yes, and it works but it's almost impossible to do. If the lottery prize is very high, like 200 million or more it can be done. What you do is get together a team of people and cover all the possible combinations of the numbers. Long as not too many people hit the number at the same time, you win enough money to cover your expenses and have a nice hunk of money left too.  

Answer 11

No. its is a game of luck and chance.

The only strategy would be to buy a lot of ticket, and to keep buying them, then you raise you chances of winning.

Answer 12

Yeah theres no way...It's completely random.  But I saw this thing on TLC, about some successful lottery winners, and it like two of them on there said that when they picked there numbers, they just closed there eyes and put down the first numbers that just came into there head so you could try that.  Interestingly, I did that myself on 2 different occasions and I got half the numbers

Answer 13

Other than buying a ticket? No. Lotteries are games of chance. There is no way of predicting which numbers will be called -- or at least, there shouldn't be!

Answer 14

YES there is a way.

Pick the right numbers

Answer 15

If there is, can you tell me about it?

Answer 16

Wis. Couple Wins Lottery Four Times, Claims Formula

Friday, August 22, 2008

MADISON, Wis. — A woman and her accountant husband who claims he's developed a formula for lottery picks have each claimed $350,000 jackpots — twice.

Verlyn and Judith Adamson claimed two $350,000 jackpots on Monday because each held a winning ticket in the state SuperCash drawing last Saturday. They didn't mention at the time that they also held two more of the winning tickets.

They claimed those jackpots Thursday. All four were purchased at different locations, but with the same numbers and for the same drawing. Their winnings now amount to $1.4 million, or about $955,000 after taxes.

The Adamsons left a voice message on their phone saying they wouldn't have any public comment and referring any questions to their lawyer Scott Thompson.

Verlyn Adamson said earlier in the week that he's a big fan of math puzzles. He claims he developed a formula for lottery picks, but his winnings have been small until now.

Thompson said the Adamsons are "exploring patent protection" for the equation.

But Steven Post, a mathematics professor at Edgewood College in Madison, wasn't buying it. He said there is no way to devise a strategy for finding the winning numbers in a game that uses randomly generated numbers to determine the winning combination.

The only strategy would be to "buy all the tickets," he said
