    Lost another 6 pounds on euromillion last week :(( I am in circle from almost a year now, never won even a penny, thankfully never lost a huge amount though. Is there any formula (which actually work) to increase probability to win even small amounts. How much you ever won or lost?

    ~~~ I don't have signature, am I not trendy enough? ~~~

        Overall I haven't lost a single penny to the lottery, which I guess makes me the real winner. My secret to success is a system that is guaranteed to work every time, guaranteed I say! It's very simple: Don't buy a ticket. I've never bought a ticket, so I've never won anything but never lost. The lottery works because you can be certain that almost everybody wins nothing while having paid something.

        My current favourite quote is: Punch them in the face, see what happens!

            A lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math. That being said, if you can afford the long term losses it can be fun to play. Last year I hit a $2000 prize and dozens of $5 wins. This year I've hit a $200 and a $100, plus several $50 wins. I don't keep track of the more frequent wins that just cover the cost of the ticket, but overall I've been breaking even most of the time with a couple of large wins. But bear in mind - math doesn't lie. If you play, you will lose, and in the long term you will lose more than you win. The trick, like gambling, is to get lucky, win big, and quit while you're ahead. Do you feel lucky today?

              ///It's very simple: Don't buy a ticket./// It makes sure you will never win, and in my opinion one who never won is either not in the game or a loser. And we are not talking about the lot who is not in the game. As said: No risk, No gain...

                I remember when the lottery initially came out there were various systems normally involving overlapping sets of numbers. The problem here is that your stake goes up massively and you don't cover many more numbers so while you may get 10 wins if you get one you've only marginally increased your chances of getting the 1 win

                  Why does asking about the lottery bring out the most ridiculous annoying superior attitude in people? "oh I don't play the lottery, I'm not an idiot like you" Only an idiot *wouldn't* play the lottery. It's cheap, it's fun to watch the draws, in almost any area the lottery funds are used for things like hospitals and important social causes and finally there is a chance you could win. There are probably less than 6 degrees of separate between most of us and a decent sized jackpot winner. So to all you supercilious bastards out there enjoy your miserable attitudes.

                        Interesting. Do you play alone or in syndicate? How much you invested (!) for those mentioned wins?

                            If you Bingle for that you will find lots of 'foolproof' schemes but you have to ask yourself a question "do you feel lucky, punk! Well, do ya!!" er.. sorry. "If I found a genuinely foolproof way to win the lottery, would I share it? Thus reducing my winnings." At the end of the day whether you win anything or not is a bit of a lottery and that's the point really.

                              The Powerball jackpot has a 1:195,249,054 probability. The next drawing has an estimated jackpot of $260,000,000. Ignoring the possibility of having to share, that seems like a pretty good bet to me.

                                Exactly! You don't need to spend 100s o 1000s of dollars every week. That will be stupid. I spend about $1-$5 when the jackpot really gets bug (> $150 million). And in that last 10 years I have been almost break even. I have won $5 a few times.

                                  True, but you might want to do some Risk Assessment on this one as the chances of actually winning back what you've put in are already rather slim, and those of winning a considerable sum of money are dramatically reduced.

                                    In the last 10 years I may have won around $40 or so. I have lost as much or probably a little more. I am not a compulsive buyer and I keep my limits. Play for fun, not for winning and that way you might win :).

                                      Why does asking about the lottery bring out the most ridiculous annoying superior attitude in people? "oh I don't play the lottery, I'm not an idiot like you" Only an idiot *wouldn't* play the lottery. It's cheap, it's fun to watch the draws, in almost any area the lottery funds are used for things like hospitals and important social causes and finally there is a chance you could win. There are probably less than 6 degrees of separate between most of us and a decent sized jackpot winner. So to all you supercilious bastards out there enjoy your miserable attitudes.

                                      Don't people usually say there is, on average, 6 degrees of separation between you and any other person on the planet? If so, then it is probably a safe bet that the same degree of separation would be between any person and a decent sized jackpot winner.

                                          In the last 10 years I may have won around $40 or so. I have lost as much or probably a little more. I am not a compulsive buyer and I keep my limits. Play for fun, not for winning and that way you might win :).

                                          Great, you made my mind to keep the momentum. I am in same league, never spent more then few pound. People thought before throwing same amount for sandwich, cookies or a drink, but when it comes to lottery they feel something really wrong in it.
