Lottery numbers how do you pick?

[ufo_investigations]

How do you pick your numbers?

Quick Pick or do you have another way?

What are the chances of this sequence coming out.

1,2,3,4,5,6 ?

Do you just randomly cross whatever square your hand goes to?

What's your way?

Have you played the same numbers for years and years?

I don't. I know someone that has been spending over a hundred a fortnight for more than ten years and they boasted how they had two wins, one seven thousand and one twelve hundred. It's a pity they spent more than twenty six thousand to do that

I used to use our birth dates, but now I just go with autopick.

I haven't won either way. So far.

I remain optimistic

I know someone who won a bit over $900,000 on Saturday lotto and someone else won $100,000 on a scratchie.

My mother won about sixty thousand a few years back and she gave me some. So I have had a win with no money down

[ufo_investigations]

The $900k win was on a 12-game Quick Pick.

I do know someone who won a few millions, 3 I think it was.  Didn't seem to improve his life much 😞

i use quick pick so it doesn't matter if I miss a week or more, I won't be bothered if "my" numbers come up.

[icyfroth]

I've won small amounts, $50 here, $20 there.

I was reading somewhere about number patterns which was very interesting.

Check these numbers out: What are the chances?

5,10,15,20,25,30

10,15,20,25,30,35

45,40,35,30,25,20

5,10,15,20,30,40

2,4,6,8,10,12

20,22,24,26,28,30

1,3,5,7,9,11

1,4,7,10,13,16

1,2,3,4,5,6

They don't ever seem to roll this way do they?

It's got to be more randomized I think.

Buying a $10 or $20 lotto ticket is pretty much the same as going up to someone that is rich and giving them the money and they tear it up as its useless to them due to them having more than enough anyway.

Lotto= An added tax for people who are bad at maths.

Odds are just far to high.

Its all a big con by Tatts. Much like the scratch tickets. Tatts idea is to ensure there are more and more small prizes and only one big prize. This is because 90% of people that get a small prize simply say another ticket thanks !

For an example, look at the $1 sctratch its. There is $840 000 in prizes but only one top prize ($25 000). So there is $815 000 in small prizes, most of which just goes back to tatts when people say "another ticket thanks".

The prize pools are so far out thats its amazing tatts get away with it.

The odds of getting 5 numbers (division 3) are 36 000 to one but the prize is only ever around $1000 !

The odds of getting 5 and a supp (division 2) are over 360 000 to one, but the prize is only ever around $9000 !

The lottos are just getting worse because they are making the odds higher and higher. It also makes greed too. $1M, $10M, $50M, whats the difference? How much is going to be enough???

There should be a game where the odds are only 100 000 to one and there are more large prizes which would spread out to more winners. The smaller prize divisions should range between $50 and $25 000. If it were 0.25c a game, you could by 100 games a week ($25), thats 5200 games a year, it would mean that after 20 years (104000 games) you should have won. You would at least win a few smaller prizes along the way which would help player fairness too.

Think of it this way. Saturday lotto is already at the odds of over 8 million to one. It is just the same as trying to guess someones mobile number. You are not able to are you? And you already know the first two digits (04) and you are still stuffed arent you !

I find it impossible to guess a number between one and ten let alone 1 and 8 million.

Dont do it people. You are helping increase greed in society.
