people that actually know what they're talking about****
don't tell me that lotteries are a tax on the poor or stupid people cuz trust me i'm better at math than most of you and i see myself winning with my strategies. i just want someone i can discuss them with that will understand and be able to provide feedback. thx.
ok. the most important strategy I named divide and conquer. for the fantasy 5, which is set up in a 5/36 format, u play 35 of the 36 numbers. u play seven tickets without repeating any numbes. this way u have a 31/36 chance of getting all 5 winning numbers in ur 7 tickets. the chances of all 5 numbers being in one ticket is (1/7)^7 or 1/16807. since you have 7 tickets ur chances are 1/2401 and multiply that by 31/36 and u get about 1/2788. thats incredible compared to 1/376,922 or even 1/53856 if u play 7 random tickets.

the second strategy used more prob and stats but is very helpful. if u order the winning the numbers in ascending order certain numbers have a better chance of being 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th.
1st-1-7 (1 and 2 are first 26% of the time)
2nd-8-14 (9 and 10 are second 12%)
3rd-15-22 (18 and 19 11%)
4th-23-29 (27 and 28 12%)
5th-30-36 (35 and 36 26%)

the last strategy involves the differences btwn 2 consecutive numbers. 74% of the time 2 numbers are within 8 of ea other
i actually play 7 games a day 7 days a week.
 
Got you covered. Keep the number totals within specified ranges. Eliminate consecutive number combinations, etc. Wrote a program 20 years ago. Won 6,000 and 3,000. Never a big one though. Figure I am small loser or nearly even.
 
Right here buddy tell me. I have dreams about winning the mega millions every night.
I know how I'm going to spend my money already.
 
Without really bothering to analyze your work, let me tell you why I am skeptical.

Have you heard of the MIT blackjack team, as fictionalized (and exaggerated) in the move 21? Based on a true story though (albeit with a lot of artistic license).

As long as the lottery has been around, how come we've never seen an MIT lottery team? Or one from Oxford University? Or indeed any group of math experts? Ever heard of Steven Hawkins winning the lottery? He's a lot smarter than you or I.

The fact is, if you look at the long history of lottery winners, you'll generally see it was some random person from some random town, often with not much education. You'll also note that statistically you are just as likely to win if the machine picks the numbers randomly, than if you choose them yourself.

So clearly I am not going to prove to you that you are wrong, but you have to admit that it is a little odd that math experts are not winning left and right if all it takes is a bunch of intelligence and math knowledge.
 
But are you willing to play that many tickets over a long period of time to have a realistic chot of winning. One in 2401 odds will take about 5 years playing 10 tickets a week.
