Which is 1 reason why in NZ they stopped the larger 1st division prize, also there is no garantee that there wil not be more than 1 st div winner, split prize you out of pocket. even with the extra 2.3m you put in the pool.

The E65m Italian one, earlier this year would have been a different story.

Before they brought in the second bonus and the power ball that would have been better.

I got a div 3 before they changed it 13.500.00 my mate got a2 and a3.

I had a 4 this year but it was a low week only 250. my friend got 3or4 and PB nearly a grand. this year.

Over the years im still up, but not buy anything worth knowing about.

Sure beats the $30 I've won in the past year, mind you I've only bought the one ticket, not bad I suppose.

Dont include 0 in your loop.
An easy way to not repeat the numbers is catch the repeated with an if.

281855 2004-10-18 02:42:00 If you want to make money out of Lotto, become a Lotto outlet. :D Ti win money gambling, you have to be on the side with the cash-register.

There is no software which will improve your chances of winning.

Any set of 6 numbers has a chance of 1 in 40x39x38x37x36x35/720 of winning.

That's about 1 in 13 million or so. If you buy 13 million selections, you would "win" Lotto. And lose a lot of money. :D And just think of the delight you would have when you discovered that you made a single mistake and duplicated one set, and missed out one set --- which by Mirphy's Law would win. ;-)

You are absoulutly right, the House bias is normally 40% .

I just want to master the programing to pick it, consistently, because I can/should be able to .

System runninmg is against the rules, the exersise isnt .
