Are you saying it cant be done, or it cant be done consistently in the first 100,000 lines.

281840 2004-10-17 03:20:00 If you've got a ticket - you're in with a chance.
If you're destined to win, it will be on a $2 ticket or 500 tickets.
Maybe some programs can increase the chances but can't see how you can definitely know which numbers will come in.

It's just one of those "your lucks in" or "your lucks out".
Maybe if you stick to the same numbers each week , your numbers will eventually come up. The people who promote those programs make their winnings of those who buy the program, not from the lotto tickets.

Thats just my thoughts anyway, Marg.

Oh I'm sure it can be done, & probably within the first 100,000 lines but then you need a program that will pull the winning line out.
Or buy a few '000 tickets & start filling 'em all in.

281842 2004-10-17 03:37:00 if you have a certain budget for playing lotto there are ways to increase the chance of you winning A prize.........theres smart playing methods that'll make sure that you get the greatest numerical coverage for the money you spend.........now for example I have a system which allows you to play a game of 9 number combination for um........hell it used to be $6 so I suppose it'd be $7.20 now anyway the lotto version used to be $42 (9 combo - now $50.40 I guess). If you play MY version you will still have exactly the same chance of winning a prize as the much more expensive lotto combo........however there is always a tradeoff and that is that you may win a smaller prize................theres also the positive trade off that if you lose you've just lost a lot less money..........now my version costs 1/7th of the cost of the lotto combo to play .......so...........if you lotto budget wasss $50.40 this week and you bought one lotto 9 combo you would have played ONE lot of 9 numbers.............however if you spent that money on 7 versions of the 9 number game that i've designed then you would have SEVEN times greater chance of winning a prize .........at the same cost ..........so yes............SMART plyaing can improve your chances.................and yes a win CAN be guaranteed BUT...........in the same game you CANT guarantee a profit............you can play a game that's so cheap that IF you win you will be GUARANTEED a profit or you can play a game that guarantees you a win but you are possibliy not gonna make a profit and thats the gamble.........you CANT beat the system..........

those lotto softwares that advertise that they can provide you with number generators...........well........lmfao............ even if they take all the previous draws and analyse them then give you a result listing the numbers in the order of the most often drawn ...........think of it this way.......say you play a game of 'toss the coin' now imagine you are gonna toss the coin 10 times and you havwe so far tossed it 9 times and you have come up with heads 9 times..............whats the odds of the final toss being heads ?................do you have higher odds of that last toss being a 'head' ..................OF COURSE NOT.........all toss'es of the coin have a 50/50 chance of being either head or tails..........no matter what has happened previously.............same rules apply to lotto............

so there you are some food for thought

281843 2004-10-17 03:38:00 there are programs that print the universal input tickets from data stream, 100% accurately. the issue is that buying 8334 tickets in 1 week breakes the rules of the game, and you can lose the prizes if they pick it/you up. drb1 (4492)
281844 2004-10-17 03:41:00 to guarantee a win costs approx $720 now that's NOT a guaranteed FIRST div it's just a guaranteed LOWEST div win...........to guarantee a first div win you got to play.......3,838,380 lines of lotto drcspy (146)
281845 2004-10-17 03:42:00 How much have you spent/won since you started using it?

281846 2004-10-17 03:43:00 You could use a scientific or graphic calculator to generate random numbers, if you don't have your laptop handy at the shop -

Rand#*40 + 1

Take the number without the decimals, and voila!
