Secret to winning Mega Millions
Jul 26, 2022, 11:18 PM

Have me buy enough numbers to have all but 6 possible numbers and select those 6- it has been a long time since I have had even one number to match no matter how many quick picks I buy

Clover, sorry, I cannot help you. The lottery is a voluntary tax that I choose not to pay. Therefore I don’t play.

It’s not a tax..it’s a dream. Buy a ticket? Throw away money.

A group did that once for a Powerball drawing, spent millions but won over 800 million. It works unless several others hit the number as well. No chance to win unless you buy a ticket but .. the odds are astronomical to win.

I think they bought tickets to cover every possible

combination. I am just talking about buying enough quick picks until I have all the numbers that can be on a ticket until there are only 6 single-digit numbers left that I did not get - then choose those 6 on another ticket because I am so unlucky that I never even match any of those drawn. Even if I had the right 6 numbers, I would need to buy 6 more numbers to make sure the right number would be in the last position one time.

It would cost over $600,000,000 to buy every possible combination of numbers.

1 - how would you fill out that many tickets?
2 - where would you come up with the $600M to buy the tickets?
3 - you'd lose money to taxes
4 - you'd lose A LOT of money if there is >1 matching ticket
Nobody has ever bought every possible combination. It's nearly impossible to do, even if you had the money.

Clover, I broke down and bought 7 quick picks yesterday, the first time I have played in years. Out of all the numbers I only had one number (7). The morale of this story is that I #issed away 21 bucks.

I bought 5 tickets and did not match a single number - that is why I am saying if I had every number but 6 of the possible numbers on my selections , they would be the winning ones.

So it would cost roughly $604mm to buy all combinations.

I buy one ticket, and for the $2 or $3 I spend I get to dream for 5 minutes of what I'd be able to do or not do.
Then back to real life.

the secret to coming out on top with regard to the lottery is not to play. it serves little purpose than to give people false hope.

Your chances of winning are pretty much the same whether you buy a ticket or not. On the other hand your chance of winning if you buy a ticket is 50-50: you either win or you don’t.
