The best way to win is not to play at all. Get a good degree and job and you’re all set.

my favorite way of thinking of it is, the chances of winning the lottery is 1:300million. if you take 300million seconds into years, then that is 9.5 years SO imagine the last 9.5 years of your life and you pick out one second, you just won the lottery!

the thing he says at ~2:20 is completely wrong – in germany, a weird combo like that came up (two sets of three consecutive numbers), and SO MANY PEOPLE had played those that the payout was the lowest EVER for any weekly jackpot…

If you think about how many people buy lottery tickets, where it’s a pick 6 game, they often do a quick pick. What you’re doing there is having two sets of random numbers that have to line up. It’s kind of like playing a roulette wheel where you only have one square “match” and two roulette wheels spun at the same time. Both wheels have to stop on the same number. Now make that 6 pairs of wheels. Spin all twelve wheels and you have to get 6 sets of matches at the same time. Since all the numbers are changing technically the odds over time are worse since you’re not playing an anchored set of numbers. Playing the same set of numbers doesn’t guarantee you anything either as the pick six lottery games are very impossible or improbable to win.

So one thing that never gets mentioned about Jerry and Marge Selbee is that they spent a boatload of money and never hit the jackpot. Yes they won a lot in smaller prizes. However, that money had to be split among the lottery club they had started. Also the drawdown games that they played and won the smaller prizes have all been discontinued. So the party is over with that strategy.

Also relying on the roll-over where the un-won jackpot is split across lower tier prizes means that all is lost if the jackpot is won by someone else in that draw.

Yes, good point at the end. You should only play lotto if you enjoy it. I don’t play lotto. But not because I think it’s stupid and pointless. Just because going to the store to buy tickets just feels like such a hassle.

Your responsibility is to increase your chance of win(ning). 1) sure way not lose = bot gamble. 2) the win rate is always 1/300,000,000 no matter how you bet. 3) every draw is an independent single issue = it does not matter the previous draw(ing)s. 4) you are betting on an ordinary bet if everyone is buying unusual numbers. -> 5) My opinion: Concentrate all your money in 1 single bet > separate to many bets, Diversion dam advisable: I actual won some money combining money with 11 persons. 6) share lottery > no lottery at all.

If you live in an area with a lot of immigrants, check the trash bins outside C-stores for scratch off tickets. A lot of people who can’t read the instructions don’t know if they won, so they will throw away a winner.

Lottery draws are pure fraud. If they were serious, we would see combinations like 12345 or 98765 etc. These are combinations that should have the same chance of occurring as any other number. Also, we hardly ever see news of lottery fraud. They must be administered by angels.

@Georg Plaz yeah, I don’t mean that. It’s usually that mathematicians think about those odds and consider it embarrassing that someone would think they have a chance of winning. For a statistician it’s as if it was impossible, and so it’s like believing in the tooth fairy

Or go to a casino and play video poker, bet the max every time and keep playing until you get a royal flush. You won’t get one very often, but that is your entire profit margin. You can earn an return of maybe 1-2% of your investment … every year. Best investment ever!

Don’t spend too much money on a ticket. But as long as you buy a ticket you are in with a chance of winning any prize as much as anybody. Once I won $550, it was nice little bit of luck and it helped with a few things. But you could always avoid your lucky numbers and play all the numbers that have little meaning.

Don’t count on winning; that’s just ridiculous. But if you’re only risking $1 or $2 for a potential payout of millions, sure, why not. Just remember the one basic rule of gambling: never risk more than you can afford to lose.
