Okay, it's been 20 years now. But I am going to reveal my secret to winning the lottery. The numbers are never random I think. They're always sequetial: 1-2 then 34-35 and 48-49. You get the picture. I think that's no accident. I don't think they're randomizing them well when they put them in the drum. It hasn't won me anything yet. Also I thought maybe play the numbers that come up more frequently. That doesn't work either. In fact they give you those numbers on their website. But any thoughts on why they always seem to be sequential?
Lottery....at tax on the statically challenged. Oh I'm sure there's some method to their madness, different weights to the balls and shit - but, like Vegas, they don't need to be crooked to make piles of money. The house always wins.
My son worked at a local TV station in PA that does the lottery. According to him it's virtually impossible to fix it now. Too many safe guards, witnesses, and locked doors. Remember this guy?
Here, they always make a big point of saying they have auditors from Thomas and Gibbs on hand.....probably somebody's brother in law.....
Poor man's 401k plan. My brother had to evict a tenant a few years back. Guy was terminally broke and would rarely work or pay rent. So of course, he trashed the apartment on his way out. He left behind a 5-gallon bucket FULL of lottery stubs.
Lotteries are for fun. If the jackpot is big, buy one ticket I say. Where I live, we have casinos now. And if I went there, I'd go there to have fun. Have a drink, watch a show, and maybe play the slots a little.
That reminded me of the time when a concert pianist was accused of playing a wrong note. He replied, :- "Their is no such thing as a wrong note on a piano. You just have to play them in the right order".
I should do some maths and tell you how rich you would be today if you had put all the money you spent in a piggy bank. I am sure that would go down like a lead balloon.
Ha ha, just in case you're not joking, I'll answer. The numbers typically don't come out in sequence, they are sequenced after the drawing. I guess that makes it easier to know if you've won. Typically with lotteries you don't have to get the numbers in sequence, sequence is irrelevant.
