I just looked at the winning numbers last night, and I saw that I won! Again! My streak is unbroken.
I take a contrarian approach to the lottery – I bet that a particular set of numbers won’t be chosen. If I’m right, I win one dollar, the amount I would have wasted if I’d bought a ticket.
By applying this strategy consistently each week ever since Georgia adopted a lottery, I’m ahead hundreds of dollars. That’s far better than most lottery players.

If you take into account that the average lotto player spends about $40/month in such “bets” …. I’d say you’re probably more than a few thousand dollars ahead of the AVERAGE lotto player (who hasn’t won).
