| Do you or do you know anyone who has a "strategy" for winning the lottery? Any lottery, from the Powerball, to the smallest non-scratchoff state lottery. I know someone who always plays the same numbers on the state lottery game, watches the numbers each day, and when the numbers start getting "close" he will buy some tickets and he actually seems to win rather frequently using the strategy.

| I play the same numbers all the time for the daily numbers game here. Win probably 5-6 times per year so I guess it works ok. Occasionally, I'll play a random number that seems to be "signalling" me, like seeing it several times in one day. Don't know why I bother though since the random ones almost never hit for me...lol.

| I have no strategy. I, like most people have a set of regular numbers, with birthdays and important years in it. I also get a random ticket each week, with numbers chosen by the lottery ticket machine.

All the studies I've seen indicate that there is really no "strategy" applicable to the lottery except buy a lot of tickets with different numbers on it.

| I know lots of people who have "numbers" based on dates and addresses, etc. Its rather cute but never seems to work any better than random numbers from the machine or your head though.

| Technically it's impossible to play a strategy against a random number generator. There's no way to predict anything. and just because a number series starts to "look" like it's coming around.. well that's what random is. What I did once was look at the draw history for the Mega Millions in Ca. Took all the numbers that had hit the least, figuring they'll start to show up sometime.. two years later they were still the least hit.
