Is it possible to have a better chance at winning the lotto if i use probability?
I think it’s extremely doubtful. You would have to believe that the machine that draws the numbers is in some way flawed. For example, if the lotto still draws ping pong balls from a machine that one ball is some how lighter or heavier and is more likely to get sucked up and picked. My guess is the state uses a new set of balls for every drawing so that type of flaw can’t be exploited. I think there is one way to exploit it that’s extremely risky and requires a lot of money, but it has been done before. Sometimes a lotto gets big enough where if you bought every possible combination you could guarantee a winner. The risk is someone else also wins and you split the pot. This strategy was done by a group of people back in the 90s. However, they ran into trouble buying every possible combination. The lotto machines to process the lotto picks jammed at the locations they were using (they had a computer I think fill out their millions of entries). Fortunately, I believe they won even though
