Ken Silver and other lottery system gurus (include the ones who are creating them) are always suggesting 38. And in fact, 38 does come up quite often. But why you just don't let the fate decide for you? Take a sheet of A4 paper. Cut it into small 42 pieces. Write numbers on the pieces, one number for each piece. Roll them together and put them... I don't know, in a hat FE. Shake well. Take out as many you need. Bet on the numbers you picked. If you win it means that lady Luck smiled to you. If not - it wasn't your turn this time. Try again!

She will, one day;-) I playd couple of years a system with all possible numbers. There were 48 numbers, and we had to pick 6 of them. So I made 8 versions of it, FE 1) 1, 9, 12, 30, 38, 45 2) 2, 11, 34, 39, 41, 47 3) 19, 22, 23, 31, 33, 42 and so on, until all numbers from 48 were gone. I had two of such lists, and believe or not, I did win quite often, 2 or 3 times a month, and there was even a period I won every week. Not much, of course, usually 3 hits, sometimes 2 times at once, and once it was 3 hits two times and 2+additional number. Arrrgghhh, I was mad this time... It could be 6, or at least 5+additional instead! I've never got more than 4 hits, 4 hits usually happened once in 3 months. Anyway, I felt I'm losing more than I'm winning and so I quit.

well, i think it depends on the person maybe. there are actually people who are very lucky when it comes to lottery. i only won twice in a lottery and it never happened again. i also think that it depends on the timing. i could have won 4 times if i did not stop bidding my number. that was the time when i thought my number will not win so i stopped bidding then after the draw, my aunt told me that my number won and i wasn't able to bid. very unfortunate.

um... uh... 56ish? 56? 56! Now thats all I can think about! lol, how about 7, it's the sum of all the letters in my name (M = 13 (1 + 3) A = 1 etc) and is also a very powerful number in my religion and many others

Well I have heard the number 3 is very lucky, or maybe look at your star sign and see if they have a lucky number for you. Good luck anyway....
