<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So she has won 4 lotteries, almost all scratch type
and all at 50 dollars a pop to play.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>These lotteries have a small life period, once the
big prize is won most people will not ponie up 50 smackers to scratch a ticket
where the prize has been won.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The state take 50 percent off the top , 10%
goes for top prize and 40% returned to the player in smaller
prizes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Once the game is put into play by the state she
waits until over half the tickets have been bought and no winner of the
top prize.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What she now knows is that the odds have
improved(changed) from a sucker bet, which the lottery is, to a one that
she has a good chance of winning., all the tickets bought were losers, and the
remaining tickets not yet purchased contain the winner. More important every day
that goes by her odds improve.More losinf tickets are bought and removed
from the pool. Now if she has kept a record of average days before the winning
ticket is bought, throws out the outliers, she will improve her chances even
more. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Only reason this works is the 50 dollar's price, it
limits the number of tickets in the pool (printed) and improves the odds
even more. </FONT></DIV>
