For over twenty years my pal Barney has been participating in the lottery. Barney and I are both teachers at a local technical college. He would every Friday, take the exit on the Victorville off ramp from the Freeway 10 and drive to the Flying V gas station store where he would acquire his lottery tickets. He would be cruising home from the Victorville Community College at precisely 10 minutes past 5 PM and arrive at the gas station 10 minutes later. Barney would then purchase his $10 worth of lottery tickets for the weekend draw at the gas station market.
In his long years of engaging in the lottery draws, my pal Barney has not taken home a cent apart from the single instance he scored $75 for the right three number selection. Barney went on to play the lottery despite the long dry spell, displaying a rare kind of fortitude. I was beginning to believe that Barney should just give his money to charitable endeavors because this would have performed a better mission. Surely, throughout this time, the cash he paid out to the lottery could have sent someone to go to college.
I infrequently participate in the lottery but would indulge at times. I would, at times buy some lottery tickets because it was my birthday or the birthday of my spouse; or some other special instance that would push me to purchase five or ten lottery tickets. But then I would determinedly avoid any number choice that I could relate to my mother-in-law who has been staying with us for many long years. I really believe that my wife's mother has no capacity to cause me anything useful in this life and so even the lottery tickets I purchase, I do not want to connect with her numbers whatsoever. By the way, I employed a numerologist to determine what my mother-in-law's numbers are. I'm sorry, I deviated.
But the most wonderful chain of events occurred in the life of my chum, Barney. At the start of last year, he began hitting the lottery draws. I say started because this was an amazing string of wins. This past 18 months, my chum Barney has hit the lottery an amazing 7 times. He scored five times the year before. For the first six months of this year, Barney has already won twice. About two and half million dollars are now Barney's accumulated winnings. Barney has consistently hit not the really major prizes but then often enough to make him a millionaire.
I then began begging Barney for his key to winning. Well, pestering my associate Barney did pay returns. Barney, who was a math teacher was determinedly studying the algorithms involved in the lottery. It seems that Barney, in the two decades of participating in the lottery was in fact running serious scientific research. Barney has now developed a working technique to win the lottery.
All I have to do, my good colleague Barney guarantees me, is to patiently wait several more months to present his lottery software to the public. It seems that Barney worked with Tom, a computer instructor at the same college to devise a lottery software program based on his process. But then I continually pestered Barney to give me a set of numbers I could play in the lottery. Unbelievably, two weeks after Barney gave me a numbers selection, I hit $85,000. Now that you know, wouldn't you want to buy his winning lottery software?

Taking Home the Lottery Big Money
What are your chances of running away with that big prize in a lottery draw? Do you know the odds to scoring that top
prize? Well, truth to tell, your chances are almost zero and your odds could only be described with this word: astronomical. And if you are thinking that by playing the lottery frequently you could level up your chances of scoring the win, well then, you are badly mistaken.
Your shot at running away with the jackpot in a lottery changes according to how the lottery is planned and many other variables determine your odds in taking home the prize, like how many conceivable numbers are involved; how many numbers are selected for the winning combination; whether or not by which the numbers are chosen is significant or not and if the numbers that are already drawn are taken back and undergoes another drawing. Now all of these control your odds to taking home that big pay off .
In one kind of lottery game which concerns six numbers like the 6 from 49 lottery, a player chooses six numbers from 1 to 49 and when these six numbers correspond to the six numbers drawn, then you win the jackpot. Your odds of winning the big prize in the 6 from 49 lottery is a near impossibility being just 1 chance in 13,983,816.
You can see it this way: if you participated in this kind of lottery game and you purchase just one ticket a week you could assume to score the jackpot only once in 269,000 years that is 13,983,816 weeks divided by 52 weeks in a year. Now that's an extended time of playing the lottery to win. And there are much more lottery draws having more astronomical chances than this. Then these jackpot winners must really have the gods on their side to have won and hitting the jackpot is just like being hit by lighting and surviving: a solely freaky incident.
But then when my next door neighbour Fred, who is also my golfing partner started hitting the lottery, I had to change my mind. This is hard to imagine, but my chum Fred, just won his most valuable lottery top prize of three million dollars, only two weeks ago. But let me start on page one.
Fred has been my next door neighbour for many years. Throughout the time that I've known him, my buddy Fred would regularly, every Friday at 6PM, go to our local 7 Eleven Store and buy his lottery tickets.
Fred appearing unsure, would first pose at the door before entering with a gloomy look on his elongated, thin face. Fred would come up to the cashier, say his whispered greeting and hand in to the cashier a long, thin sheet of paper filled out with Fred's number picks for the following day's lottery game together with several brand new, twenty dollar notes. My friend Fred regularly paid for his lottery tickets in cash and got forty to a hundred dollars worth of lottery tickets for the Saturday draw.
The cashier, an overweight, bearded, Indian named Mohan would smile at Fred, greeting him in a sing song voice as he reached for the paper and the money and then fed this paper into a gadget which spat out the lottery tickets of Fred. The cashier then would give Fred his lottery tickets and wished Fred "good luck".
A visible glow would come over Fred as his stern countenance changed the moment he got his tickets. A barely visible grin would cross his lips while tallying his lottery tickets making sure of the right number. Fred seemed bright as he slowly folded the lottery tickets and carefully slipped those into his left breast pocket. Those lottery tickets remarkably changed the countenance of Fred as he departed the store taking long, confident strides with the thought of running away with the big prize on his mind.
This went on for a good number of years but Fred never did win anything. The closest thing to a lottery windfall Fred ever had was when he picked up a fifty dollar bill right in front of the store as he was about to pay for his lottery tickets. He gave the fifty dollar bill to Mohan to give back to its rightful owner but when nobody claimed it after a month, Mohan returned the fifty dollars back to Fred.
Fred was simply without luck until two years ago when his unexplainable winning streak started. Fred started his bizarre winning streak in April 2009 with a $75,000 win. After hitting his initial lottery prize money, Fred threw a party for all his chums who were elated at his change of luck.
That initial win was followed by a second, a short couple of months after, this time with a $250,000 prize. Everyone was talking about how fortunate Fred was to hit the lottery a couple of times but when he scored the Christmas lottery of $1,000,000 the whole town was astonished. This winning streak was only beginning as events would later reveal. Fred, the next year, hit three, million dollar jackpots about one win every four months. Fred was a millionaire several times over as his winnings for 2010 totalled close to 4 million and for the two years his accumulated wins were more than 5 million dollars.
Everyone desired to discover the secret to Fred's winnings as he was now believed to be the luckiest lottery player in America. His winning run could not have been solely chance and many surmised it was divine direction.
Well, the disclosure came from Fred last January, just at the start of the new year, that he had developed through the years of betting on the lottery, a technique that succeeds. Fred then hired a software engineer and together they formulated a lottery software program that made your win a certainty.
With a tested track record, Fred now wants to show others how to win in the lottery. This coming June, Fred will bring on-line his lottery website where he will divulge all his secrets on how to hit the lottery and offer his lottery software that makes winning a sure thing. So I, plus many others are eagerly anticipating Fred's offer. Of course, if his track record of wins does not convince you…… well, just two weeks ago Fred had his seventh lottery win of 3 million dollars.
