Lottery...

It is not fixed at all. Odds are just against you. For exemple, if you play a lottery that picks 6 numbers out of 50 (without having one number twice), those are your chances of winning : 1/50 x 1/49 x 1/48 x 1/47 x 1/46 x 1/45 = 0.00000000874 % That is your winning percentage for the jackpot. The maths go like this : one number out of 50, then one out of 49 (1 is out), then 1 out of 48 (2 are out) and so on . . . Some people just get the right combination, that is just plain luck. You may have more chances to win in a casino at roulette or black jack.

Well everyone can't win. You just need some luck and your numbers to come up. It's not fixed as most draws are recorded and monitored and sometimes shown live on TV.

The biggest was just before Christmas for £251.00 for 4 numbers Thats the most I have ever won lol Had a few lesser prizes too! And yes VWD do pay out pretty quick too! Each time I have had a cheque from them it has arrived in less than 7 days from the winnings! Lynn-Marie

Yup....Lottery is definitely based on your luck.. If u no luck. how many times u play U will not win too... I had few friends who use to win lottery... I think he got a lot of luck... :)

I don`t play the lottery, I used to but that was when i worked . I just don`t bother now.

They tell me you have to buy a ticket first? so Mope never won a dime. I got some scratch-off's one year in my Christmas stocking and I won $2.00 :) that was the last of my Lotto-Luck. Have since moved on to "Outta-Luck.. I seem to do well there. LOL

Hello Howard. The only time I ever won the lottery was when a girlfriend of mine sent me to the store to play her numbers. I played the wrong number and she started complaining. So I went back and got her correct number and kept the wrong one. Well you know what happened. The wrong number hit and I never told her a word about it. It was a pick 3 for about $250.

I have played the lottery maybe 3 times in my life..and I have never won. I don't believe that lotteries are fixed but they are merely a game of chance and luck. The odds are pretty slim of winning..something like 12 million to one. I have heard that your chances of getting struck by lighting are better than winning the lottery!! Anyway, keep playing..you never know when your numbers might come up!!!

I don't think the lottery is rigged since we see the balls being jumbled in the air inside the machine. That's the procedure here in the Philippines, and they boast of the balls not having any human intervention. It is also televised for all to see. I personally do not know anyone who won the jackpot, but know a few who got some consolation prizes. I am also all-thumbs when it comes to lotto numbers, that is why i don't dare brave the long lines to secure a ticket and find out later on that i did not even get one number correctly. hahaha!

I don't believe to playing lottery.. I just addiction You cannot out from there.. I don't believe that any one can win also.. its just froad I think

I have seen people win the Lottery but I never play so I never win it. However, here in California it appears that the Lottery is not fixed.

Howard, I dont think it`s fixed because they make money at it no matter what and I know some of the people who have won the jackpot,so....but U can increase your luck with a little studying. I have a small lotto group(15)people and we earn about 75% return on our expenses! here in Canada, we have Lottohome.com, a websites that educates U on getting better results and it works pretty good,for example,if your numbers are all even #s,chances are less, all odds, same thing also winning past numbers never come out again!etc...

Buy a nice house, a cabin on the lake, a new vehicle, take my family on a cruise around the world, Help out my family and friends, financially. Throw a big fancy wedding for my son and his fiance. I would prob want to travel at least 6 months out of the year. I would pick out a few poor families and set them up in a nice place to live, give them some money to live on and send them to school so they could get a good job. I would prob give a donation to the Salvation Army and Ronald McDonald House

I'm playing a lotto game where I have pick 6 form 48. I'm using all numbers, i.e. I have 8 combinations every time (48: 6= 8). It seems to be quite benefitial. I haven't won a jackpot until now, and also not 5 from 6, but 4 from 6 many times, and 3 from 6 are coming often. Last week I had only 2 from 6 + an additional number, and I was very disappointed!

Yes I have known three big lottery winners, one was my friend's brother who split the money with his parents and three siblings, another was a lady who played on my ex-husband's softball league, and the last was a co-worker again of my ex-husband's. I won $500.00 bux once, but that is it. Cheers!

I've never won the lottery. But maybe that is because I don't ever buy a lottery ticket. I also live in Vegas but never gamble. The odds aren't in my favor in a casino or in the lottery. I don't think they are fixed, it's just for every winner there has to be thousands of losers.

You can choose the numbers - You birthday, your age. The birthday of you family members. I adopt a theme. Most of the time I get 3 numbers. Yesterday I got 3. I won 80 pesos. If I got 4 numbers I got 800 pesos. 6,16,17,30,26,33 or 2,25,7,22, 36,26.

Well mate if I'd won the lottery I sure as hell wouldn't be on here !!! Yes we have had people win the big lottery in our town, in fact one couple lived just round the corner from me and bought their lucky dip lottery ticket the same day as me - shows my bad luck eh!! someone lese just won £50,000 on a scratchcard yesterday in a local store so it does happen - to some people. If it ever happens to me I'll let you know haha
