Brad Duke was a Powerball winner back in 2005. He won the headline grabbing Powerball jackpot of $220 Million, and after choosing the lump sum payout he happily banked $85 Million.

Brad Duke Lottery Strategy (the Powerball Winner)
Well, that’s a complex system. Obviously, I don’t see any reason why Brad would spell out his way of winning millions. I think it’s luck and some strategy that anyone who play lottery go with. Thought I’d share, thanks for nice write-up.
I invented a time machine. It only allows me to go back one day… but that’s enough. I will win the next big lottery.
You really need to come up with your own system that works for your state. When it comes to systems, they can work for short periods and go cold for short periods also. There is no guaranteed system that works all the time. Good Luck!
If it “works for short periods then doesn’t”, how do you know when that isn’t just random luck?
You can’t really say it works.
I completely agree! It’s bogus to think that one number is stronger than another. I understand that there are statistics and mathematics involved in calculating your ODDS of winning. But being able to manipulate the lottery in your favor? I don’t think so. It’s all luck. I won the lottery in 2006 and I believe that I was LUCKY. God saw it fit for me to win, but I had the same odds as everyone else!
Hey Sandra
Congrats on your win, and the luck that went with it. 🙂
Don’t forget of course though that the lottery is a tax on the stupid – and we’re all just mathematically inept for even thinking about buying a ticket 😉
In response to the question that was posted by Corey Knight.
I am not sure if a real lottery book or program exists that will help you to win the lottery, I truly believe it is pure luck.
Which numbers come out of the machine on the night is down to luck, and not something you can reliably predict in any way.
But your overall strategy can greatly affect your chances of guessing right. I’m not talking miracle systems of course, just having a sensible strategy to start with.
Can you tell me where can I buy a real lottery book or programe that can help me win the lottery.
Hi Corey,
Just head over to my reviews page, there a few good ones I can recommend at the top (and an awful lot of stuff to avoid listed below those!).
There is no absolute – past numbers with wheeling might help – the numbers you pick may follow the trend or lay out of the winning numbers – but if I am fortunate to get two numbers as in Powerball after almost a year playing – well what more can I say – “once more unto the breach dear friends…”
How about trying Mega Millions?
Hey Peter
Maybe Powerball is not the best game to be playing… 🙂
Ditto!
I would argue there are some mathematics and statistics behind it. But there are very high level of mathematics and statistics – game theory and almost moving into chaos theory mathematics.
If I told you that humans were predictable and finite without really having free will you’d probably scoff and/or laugh. In economics, we often assume perfect information in many of the models regarding competition, and assume so for the sake of argument.
The bare nature of competition is making sure you have information that the other guy(s) doesn’t or doesn’t know you have. So right there many economic models become almost child-like compared to real world activities.
Well there’s not a lot of math behind Brad’s strategy – he used the most commonly drawn numbers. That and wheeling.
It’s easy to overcomplicate the lottery with math. But at the end of the day it is just a bunch of ping pong balls bouncing around a plastic drum. And no amount of clever maths is ever going to mean we know exactly which ping pong balls come out. That’s the way it’s designed to be. You can maximise your chances then it’s down to the ping pong.
If he has a working system, he should have won multiple times. He’s damn lucky and that’s it.
Good morning Guy!
Your site is fantistic! Thank you for your reply so quickly !
Just want to share a bit of information (in the event no one knows), remember Robert Seritic? In the 80’s he won two lotteries back to back in I think it was Yugoslavia (memory fades me). Then he came out with the publication “Lotto USA”, IT WAS FREE! He gave lottery tips, charts, graphs and of course more info for $$.
Where is this genius today? Just goes to show you how efficatious your information is Guy. Love to hear back from you on this if possible.
As always
Respectfully,
Steve
FYI – NBC Dateline will air this Sunday 3/3/13 an hour long segment about multi-million dollar lottery winners. That show should be interesting.
Thanks for the heads-up Sandra.
Look out for that one folks, should be interesting (so long as it’s not one of those dreary ‘lottery winners gone bad’ efforts, and focuses on the vast majority who are very happy with their wins instead!)
