The number picker's dilemma
“Do you go with the numbers that show up the most often because they're hot, or do you go with the numbers that show up the least often because they're well overdue?”

Neither. Numbers are never hot nor due.
There are two ways to profit from lotteries. One is to pick numbers higher than 31, or at least higher than 12. Many people use important dates for their favourite numbers, and so numbers under 31 are over-picked, and if you do pick these and they come up, you risk having to share the winnings with more people. The other way is simple. Run the lottery.

Big US multi-state MegaMillions jackpot tomorrow.
Is anyone buying for tomorrow's drawing? Never play?
If you are playing, are you a regular player or just when the jackpot grows large? How do you choose your numbers or do you go with easy picks? |

Good point - the third way to benefit - wait for jackpots.

When I lived in a very poor upstate NY town, I got my gas at a Red Apple convenience store and I'd invariable get caught in a line of lottery tickets and cigarettes folks... it was depressing to watch.
