I won the lottery on Wednesday
 

Well, 3 out of 5 numbers. Got 60 bucks. :1orglaugh

So I just bought 60 more quick picks plus my usual 10 quick picks for Friday's

drawing that is 335 Million dollars.

If I win I'm gonna buy GFY from LENs and turn it into a charity site for retired porn stars so all of us will be freeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I guess you don't do the whole pick-your-kids-birthday thing eh... :1orglaugh

no, that would require me to procreate and the world just doesn't need that.

:1orglaugh


i do however wish that the 900 landscapers spending their babies milk money on tickets this morning wouldn't have held up the line picking their kids birthdays, cousins anniversaries, and other various relatives meaningful holidays and what not so i didn't have to wait 20 minutes at the freakin 7-11 to get my tickets in all of 2 secs. one dude had like 10 cards and was picking numbers and trying to remember birthdays and shit. people were getting pissed.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

With the number of kids he has that he doesn't know about... it would be too many numbers :upsidedow

errrrrrrrr. thats why my phone rings off the hook on fathers day from restricted numbers?

:(

:1orglaugh

Whenever I buy a lottery ticket here I always play the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. People say I'm crazy but I say I have as much chance to win as they do!

i also won i found my lottery ticket from december 2006 200 euro's hmmmm why i did not check that earlyer

ya, I spent about 50 and got a whole 2 numbers. How that is even possible I don't know. I wish you could win when you get squat. LOL

yup, that is true.

Dude I went to buy smokes and I saw '$305 Million'. First time I ever bought a lottery ticket :)

Actually, it's not quite true. In theory it should be, in practice it is not. :winkwink:

Nice! You can share some moolah with me :)

mathematically there has to be a finite number of random quick picks. i am gonna be honest and say that i am too lazy today to figure it out, but on a 5 number lottery with a mega number, there has to be a point where all the combinations have been issues to individuals.

what happens then?

congrats on the win!

Ahh, what you're missing is that the way in which the numbers are drawn is not a truly random enviroment. The paint on the balls, slight varations in the balls from rubbing together in the tube, and etc. This is why certain numbers statistically come up more than others, for each given drawing machine that drops the balls.

I actually knew an old guy from Hong Kong who was a retired Engineer and straight up math brain that was working on a computer program in his spare time. Basically, he would input the results for each draw and the program would calculate tons of different odds. How many times a number has been coming up in 1 draw, in 2 draws, in 3 draws etc. It's pretty complex to explain, but given enough eventual input, in theory it should be able to better predict results than simply guessing.

I would have done the same thing.. Only maybe buy 30 quick picks, and 30 scratchers...

watch out for megarotic dude.

he will steal your winnings.

most i won in lottery was like $10

According to an email I just received, I'm a lottery winner too...I just have to send them my bank account information ;-)

if you won 335 million,your ass wont be posting here. lol
