You are all aware of the
gambler's fallacies, right?
I'm surprised the mathemagicians didn't jump all over this thread. The lottery is, indeed, a fun dream. And people do win. I saw old bar patrons win the mega mill a few years ago. One of the city departments. An office pool.
But no instance of a number being drawn has any effect on any other number being drawn, except it lowers the pool of numbers. There are no 'patterns.' It's just pure dumb luck (for lack of a better word.)
I buy a few, here and there. And I dream about that log home. But I don't think there's a system to random number drawing games. Because there isn't.
