Lotto Max: Fri Feb 11: No winner

Friday’s winning numbers are as follows:

04 06 13 19 26 29 47 with a bonus number of 43

Encore was listed as: 1907782

BUT there is no winner the thirty million! The site is already advertising next week’s grand prize being pushed up to $43 million.

Hmmm, according to the stats on the site, your chance of winning the Lotto Max is one in 28 million while the 6/49 is one in 14 million. Really? I had no idea that I had such a better chance of travelling to Tahiti thanks to the 6/49 as opposed to the Max. Gee if I’ve got a fat chance of getting the Max, that means I’ve got half a fat chance of getting the 6/49. I feel so much luckier now. Ha!

Saturday, February 12, 2011- 6/49: $30 million

How to pick numbers for the lottery

The Internet has got all sorts of schemes "guaranteed" to assure you the winning a ticket. Click here for a Google search.

The web site How To Do Things reveals that using family birthdays is the most meaningful. Of course they do mention in passing that lotteries just happen to come down to chance. I didn’t find the word "fat" on the page used as a prefix to the word chance but I feel certain the author of the article may have had it in mind as he wrote his tongue-in-cheek recommendations for selecting numbers.

But why use meaningful family birthdays when we can get scientific? The Delta Lotto System purports to reveal great mystical secrets in selecting numbers which can be further enhanced by the purchase of a DVD for $14.95. You may not win the lottery but I can guarantee you that somebody somewhere is getting wealthier fourteen dollars and ninety-five cents at a time.

Okay, here’s a video on a "method". This reminds me of those real estates ads where the author says he got a method of making us all rich buying property. Of course his part of the scheme is that he’s going to get rich getting us to buy his book. Ha!
