5 of those bloody 6 numbers came up tonight, giving a prize of £2219
DAMN. DAMN. DAMN !!!
Lotto results SiteDon't cry for me That was a rubbish prize for 5 numbers out of 6.
Amazing!
What a result. Don't lose the plot over it. Nathan has a lot to learn from you.
I'm not going to get cross over not buying a ticket. I saved £2
£2219 wouldn't have changed my life.
Mind you I'd have felt different if I'd got all 6 numbers and not bought a ticket.

Apparently, There is a one in 55,000 chance of five of my numbers being selected by the lottery machine and they would have only paid me £2219.
They must think I'm stupid..
Don't be daft. the chances of those same numbers coming out must be hundreds to one.Quote: NathanIt's still a good prediction. ;) In your honor, I will play those numbers in my Lottery tonight! :D

I don't think with regards to lottery, it's just math challenged buying. It is poor, they know the odds and payouts are unfair, and low, but there aren't better options available. The government exploits them. Yet, all governments pretty much offer the same thing.Quote: EvenBobBeen robbing the poor and math

2 of the 3 are pure liberal sites that see how lotteries prey mostly on those who shouldn’t be playing. There probably is a good College Thesis to be done here but most don’t want to accept the truth.
Bottom line is regular daily lottery players either don’t care about the odds or are just too stupid to understand them.
That said, I am one of the idiots that buys Powerball when it gets high just to be part of the action.
735 pick 3
7284 Pick 4
My predictions.
757 Pick 3
7283 Pick 4
I'm gaining on you guys. ;) By the way. I'm playing 47 front pair Pick 4 tomorrow. :)

I find I get nearly two full days of daydreaming when I do. Not only does it give me two days entertainment, but I find it highlights where I am in life, what my true wants and desires are, and where my head and heart are at the moment. A clear and true look at self, and it only cost $2.
That's not idiotic.
Try horse racing.
1. The bets are the same as lottery.
2. The house edge is significantly lower.
3. You have access to a track and live races are fun.

I'm wary about playing Horses because if the horse falls down, I lose my money. Here comes the uncertain emoticon. :/

Whereas, with the much more reliable and safe lottery, you only ever don't win if you don't win. No risk of your horse falling if there's no horse.Quote: NathanYou don't win if the horse falls down during the race! ;)
Oh forget it. You know what you're doing Miss K.
I was hoping for a lot more stories and random thoughts. It’s just been a recap of the Florida lottery.
I’m not going to block the thread just yet, but I think it’s time to up the content quality.
Something to think about.

If you have figured out how to beat the lottery, please do tell. I think it's ok to spill the beans on this one in public.
Quote: OnceDearAre you competing with yourself for '....est post of the year'?
I second. Let's take it to a floor vote.
Quote: FinsRuleNathan, maybe you should make a new thread to make a poll on whether there should be a separate thread about the Florida lottery. This would keep Nathan’s corner cleaner.

No, that was already asked for by Nathan and turned down by the admins.

How much do you spend a week on Lottery tickets?
What's the average amount you win?
I had $4 on that unfortunate nose.

WHY? Probably wasting my time but just checking if you understand how bad the odds are against you?
You are on a site where most everyone works to reduce the odds or put them in their favor. You understand you are doing the exact opposite of that?
You know the horses don't really breakdown and die that often, you should reconsider it. These lottery bets are very bad and useless. Gulfstream has a lot of turf races with full fields, they can be very exciting and pay out pretty good. Even if your horse dies at regular odds, you'll be ahead of the stupid lotto. It's worked into the payouts horses dying, can either hurt you or help you, wouldn't worry about it. You don't really need to be there when the races are going on, can get accounts and bet from your phone, as well as bet other tracks simulcasts. Could be you wouldn't want to bet horses, because you don't really want to know so quickly what a bad bet you made, can be delusional for hours and hours betting lotto before you realize you lost. I just can't believe you're really making such crappy bets playing the lotto when you're smart enough to work at Walgreen's. They're almost literally stealing your money.
If only we could take your number draw bets and keep all the money you're throwing away. I'd guess, wouldn't have much initial exposure of more than $200 for a short time and by half a year, you would have already lost $200.

Quote: onenickelmiracleSpeaking of Rock Nathan, do you think Kurt Cobain killed himself or was murdered?

I think Courtney is innocent, but I don't know if Kurt was murdered or committed suicide. I do believe she did not murder him.
They want you to believe this is an urban legend.
Quote: billryanKurt had been experimenting with reggae, club and Latin music for his next album. He died and those tapes never surfaced.

Are you implying that his record label killed him so that we wouldn't hear him experimenting in Reggae, Club, and Latin Music? :/

Ok so you got the front pair but it is pick 4.....2 numbers wont do. we need the last numbers as well!!

Most of my Pick 4 predictions are for front pair only. ;) On a side note, I played 81 front pair, and 82 popped up to say hi. ;) :/ I guess I'll play 81, 42, 47 tomorrow. :). Maybe 8142 tomorrow. :)
