Here’s a timely warning. Always check winning lottery tickets yourself.
Most lottery retailers are honest decent people. And they get a real buzz when their store creates a big lottery winner.
But greed can do unpleasant things to some people.
A recent NBC broadcast warned of the danger of dishonest store clerks attempting to steal winning lottery tickets, and various other scratch off lottery ticket scams.
The number of genuine attempts to ‘rig the lottery’ can be counted on the fingers of one hand — and still leave fingers left over for future use.
Why? Because in any country where the Government is generally not corrupt the national and state lottery games have overseers, auditors and just plain lots of people involved who aren’t dishonest and ‘notice stuff’.
Chief Polar Bear has a new toy – but it’s much misunderstood in the North Pole this concept of ‘wheels’.
It works, but sometimes he can’t help thinking the hype is better than the reality. (Especially when it comes to skateboards in the snow, and it tends to do the snow thing a lot round here).
It’s a sociable place the North Pole, although it’s hard to get groups to mix sometimes. Those arctic foxes can be a little snooty and don’t like hanging out with the polar bears. You know how it is. But that doesn’t stop them all partying up there – it helps keep the chills at bay.
So we are playing the North Pole Lottery (what do you mean you’ve never heard of it..?). It’s a 6 balls from 49 draw, and is very popular with polar bears and arctic foxes. You can buy tickets with regular old cash, or trade with fresh fish at the local ticket outlets.
The fact is ‘roll down’ draws greatly increase your chances of winning a larger prize.
But for some reason, not many people seem to be aware of what they are, or when they happen.
You may have arrived here after hearing how Jerry and Marge Selbee legally exploited a roll down rule to win $26 Million.
[This is the continuation of a discussion about lottery prediction that originated on my reviews of lottery systems page. It was getting too long there so I’ve brought it over here to a new post for reply]
We pick up this discussion about prediction with a comment left by Andy.
When you’re playing the lottery ‘random’ does matter. Because you want to know that you have a fair chance of winning.
There are a lot of people however who don’t believe the lottery is really random, but not in a math kind of way, more a sort of ‘it’s fixed’ kind of way.
If you want to know where to buy winning lottery tickets then this is for you.
I’ve been helping people with this kind of stuff since 2003.
So let’s dig in.
Crazy question, huh? We just want to buy somewhere that gives us a better chance of winning, right?
Guess what the date is today – yes, it’s 10/11/12… oooh, spooky 😉
(Note 1: if you’re not in the US, then it may be 11/10/12 today and you’ll have to wait until November, because the world couldn’t agree on a standard date format…)
(Note 2: this is an old post – but the takeaway points are still relevant today)
So will you be playing any particular special numbers tonight..?
