FREE money to buy better lottery tickets
Some misinformed people “think” that playing lottery jackpot games is just plain stupid.
I strongly disagree.
When you buy a lottery ticket (and do things right), you basically convert 1 or 2 bucks into a CHANCE to win a fortune.
You don’t have that prospect when you spend $2 on a coffee, beer or lemonade in your favorite bar or restaurant.
The average American spends approximately $1,100 a year – or $3 each day – just on coffee!
Life is all about making choices, so for this week, each time you feel the urge to buy a beverage (coffee, beer or anything else you like), consider drinking a glass of water instead.
With the money saved, you can get some of the best lottery tickets your money can buy:

A lottery certainty you will never forget
Lottery players like certainties so today I am going to show you a certainty you will never forget.
Understanding this is key to your success.
Ready?
When you play 2 unique lottery combinations, then you are absolutely certain that one of your plays will NOT be a jackpot winner.
Only one can be, right?
So in a sense, when you play just 1 combination, you play the game more efficiently because you don’t have that NEGATIVE certainty.
However, here’s another certainty …
When you play 2 unique combinations, you do create an EXTRA chance to win the jackpot: if one of your combinations fails, then your other combination has an extra chance to be the winner.
Quite LOGICAL, isn’t it?
Now, here’s what’s been missing from all text-books:
An “extra chance” and a “better chance” are 2 different animals.
Some lottery combinations are much better than others. I have clearly demonstrated this on winslips’ test results blog, and this multiple times per week in the past 7 years:
https://www.winslips.com/blog.html
What you see there is that, at the time of writing, Winslips experienced zero failures this year.
This impressive performance proves that creating a BETTER chance doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to play more combinations.
You can optimize ONE ticket as well.
BUT … in case you want more tickets (and chances), … then you should ALWAYS consider more “BETTER” tickets instead of just “EXTRA” tickets.
I honestly believe that the information above and the link below, is the key to your success:

Lotteries are interested in my ideas too!
It’s not a secret that I have plenty of subscribers who love to read this blog and my bi-weekly lottery newsletter.
Most of them are players just like you who appreciate my no-nonsense advice and tips.
But the real secret is this one:
Lottery officials are on my list of subscribers too.
And so are researchers and mathematicians.
Researchers wanna know first-hand what’s going on in the lottery community.
And lottery officials are looking for new ideas on how to keep their players on board.
Making their games harder to win to trigger larger jackpots is in my view NOT a smart “long-term” option.
With a mathematical solution like Winslips, you can easily tackle that:
https://www.winslips.com/winslips-benefits.html
However, the decision to introduce a Multi-Draw option on your lottery form, where you can select to play the same numbers for MULTIPLE draws …
I have to admit … that was a pot of “pure GOLD”!
After all, without that multi-draw option, sales of tickets would quickly reset to ZERO whenever there’s a big winner (and the jackpot resets to its minimum value again).
That’s not what we are seeing today, is it?
That Multi-Draw option is the ONLY reason for that!
Anyway, I’ll keep you (and those officials) informed.
Keep an eye on this blog. I have a lot of knowledge to share.
I hope you saw Winslips’ latest test results as well:

Free lottery systems are the world’s most expensive (and worse)
We all like freebies, right?
Unfortunately, when dealing with lottery systems, “FREE” doesn’t mean “CHEAP”.
There’s a ticket cost involved (among other things).
Before using a system, free or not, you always need to ask yourself 2 questions …
- How many tickets are required to make a system work?
- How well will a system perform in the future instead of the past?
Systems that “predict” the past are very easy to create. Anyone can create hundreds of them in just a few hours.
Unfortunately, that’s EXACTLY what you get when you visit some of the most popular lottery forums.
Systems that “predict” past draw results are posted there on a daily basis, and the participants who create them think any system should be free.
But here’s the thing, though …
The majority of these posted systems don’t work in the future, are surrounded by plenty of question marks (???) and are usually very expensive to execute (= ticket costs)!
Another thing is …
Why posting brand new ideas if earlier ideas worked out just fine?
May I suggest that … those earlier ideas didn’t work at all?
Indeed …
Something that works … WORKS. Period!
And something that WORKS requires loads of time developing, testing, and fine-tuning to make it even better.
That’s simply impossible with a free pop-up system that lasts for 1 day and then disappears (because another one pops up).
Now listen to this …
Winslips was launched in 2011.
Today, we’re in the year 2018.
I lost track of how much time I and my team devoted to this project, but it must be several, multiple thousands of hours (at least).
Just a couple of weeks ago, we upgraded Winslips Ultimate to Version 6.3. Some great features have been added with this update, and there’s more to come.
Honestly, our growing army of users grows year by year, and all this is happening for a very good reason:

Winslips WORKS. Period. And it keeps getting better and better.

How random lottery tickets quickly become “duplicate” tickets …
How would you react if you buy 7 quick picks, and get the same combination 7 times?
Here’s the true story (with pictures of the tickets) :
https://www.lottoreport.com/PBDuplicateQPs.htm
What would you think if this happened to you?
Just a computer malfunction … or a sign by God that you’re the chosen one?
Let’s do some math first …
When many number combinations are produced by a random number generator, then plenty of them will be duplicates.
That’s because of a mathematical phenomenon known as “the birthday paradox”.
If you take 367 randomly selected people, then there’s a 100% chance that (at least) 2 of them have the same birthday. (there are only 366 possible birthdays)
Here’s the paradox …
With ONLY 23 randomly selected people, there’s a 50% chance that 2 of them share the same birthday.
That chance becomes 99.9% with just 70 people.
Check 70 of your Facebook friends’ birthdays. You’ll see that this “paradox” is “unpleasantly” real.
The same principle applies to lotteries.
When 50,000 Powerball players buy 1 random ticket, then 2 of those players are probably holding the same number combination.
With the sheer number of tickets sold, that number of duplicates goes up exponentially …
If 292 million players would play 1 random combination, then about 1/3rd of those tickets would be duplicates.
I deliberately said: 1 random combination
I didn’t say: 1 quick pick
With quick picks, it could easily be more than 1/3rd …
On February 22, 2012, Elias Garza wants to buy 7 quick picks and receives 7 identical quick pick tickets:
http://www.lottoreport.com/PBDuplicateQPs.htm
Unfortunately, that was not a unique case …
On July 27, 2013, a lottery terminal prints 4 duplicate Powerball quick picks, all printed one second apart:
http://www.lottoreport.com/PBDuplicateQPsJuly2013.htmWhat are the odds for that to happen?
And on November 2, 2016, the following happened …
A lottery player buys 6 quick picks for 2 different games and receives 3 identical tickets TWICE, one set of 3 identical lottery tickets for each game:
http://www.lottoreport.com/ARDuplicateQPOct2016.htm
These stories became public thanks to Dawn Nettles, founder of lottoreport.com.
If one lady manages to uncover 3 such stories, then how many “similar occurrences” remain undetected?
And if these reported stories are true (which they are), then this absolutely shocking question comes to mind …
How many lottery players waiting in long lines to buy 1 quick pick end up buying the same ticket as the person who is standing in front or behind them?
Because of these disturbing anomalies – which I think are caused by poorly designed number generators coded by unaware coders – the pure mathematical effect of playing quick picks is this one:
The more people buy quick picks, the more identical tickets are sold and the less number combinations are covered. That decreases the chance that someone will win the jackpot, and increases the chance for a rollover and a growing jackpot, which in turn attracts more players.
Intentionally or not, it’s a vicious circle that I call:
“Lottery marketing at its best”
Don’t fall for it. Stop playing quick picks today and take back control of your plays:

The “Think of 5” and “Don’t play” lottery system
When you buy a lottery ticket (and do things right), you basically convert 1 or 2 bucks into a CHANCE to win a fortune.
I said: “… and do things right … !”
But some players think that chance is not there (or not big enough)
If you’re one of those lottery players, then do the following:
Think of any 5 numbers (and don’t play them).
Hey, you just saved yourself a couple of bucks.
Happy now? Of course not!
This “think of 5” and “don’t play”-system works really well for bad-luck junkies.
But that’s not what you are.
When you put your impatience aside, a whole new world will open up for you:

Can any system or number picker do better?
Can any lottery system or number picker do better than what WinSlips does (with so few tickets)?
I am not trying to brag or anything, so please allow me to show you some true facts.
At the time of writing this post, when you take a closer look at Winslips‘ published test results, you will notice that Winslips experienced ZERO failures since the beginning of January 2018.
That means that all Powerball draw results since January 1 2018 felt within Winslips’ pre-selected probabilities (i.e. the footprint).
Can anyone do better?
Not a chance.
Furthermore, Winslips’ number reduction algorithm to SHRINK the original pool of numbers to a REDUCED and more manageable pool of numbers is guaranteed to be 100% fail-safe.
Picking numbers from a smaller pool of numbers is ALWAYS easier than picking an equal amount of numbers from a bigger pool of numbers. That UNIVERSAL lottery law is the basis on which Winslips was founded.
I created this ingenious tool because other lottery programs didn’t take into account that the vast majority of lotto players have a very limited playing budget.
For most jackpot games that are supported by Winslips, 6 combinations will do to squeeze a best possible chance out of the few dollars that typical players spend on tickets. If that’s too much, you can use Winslips to play one number combination as well.
I challenge anyone to provide more value and a better chance to win BIG with fewer tickets:

How to spend LESS … and win BIG!
When a guy spends $50 on lottery tickets, is he making a profit when he wins a small $5 prize?
Absolutely NOT.
But there’s really something strange and weird about that feeling of winning small prizes.
Let me explain …
Any person who spends $44 on tickets and doesn’t win a dime loses less than a person who spends $50 on tickets to win a $5 prize.
But the person who lost $44 feels desperate … while the one who actually lost $45 remains in high hopes for a big win because he just won a small prize.
Now, how stupid is that?
I hope I have your FULL attention now.
Anyone should let go that FAKE feeling of a (small) win.
A BIG WIN is what you are after. That’s either the jackpot or a big second prize (and nothing else).
That doesn’t require a big playing budget either.
Instead of spending MORE to win a small prize, you’d better spend LESS to win a BIG prize.
Once you realize that, that’s the moment you will start seeing what works and what doesn’t:

Why you pick the same lottery numbers as your neighbor (and keep losing)
If you ever wondered why your mind LOVES to pick lottery number combinations that are completely wrong, then keep reading.
You know your ABC, right … ?
It’s language … and we humans are MASTERS of language.
With numbers, things are quite different.
They pop up everywhere, and our mind always tries to connect the dots …
When our mind sees 1, 4 and 5 … it sees “missing numbers” 2 and 3.
When it observes 2, 4 and 8 … it “predicts” number 16.
It gets even stranger than that …
Take a good look at ALL the numbers you played during the last week or month.
Your mind probably picked number 19 for no reason at all.
Hmmm … no reason? … What year were you born? Is number 19 somewhere in that year?
You see … we humans are not very good at picking ORIGINAL numbers.
And when we pick numbers from a grid, it gets even worse:
“our brain picks numbers from left to right and from top to bottom, which is the correct pattern for reading a book (but not for picking numbers) …”
The end-result is this:
Most players who pick their own numbers do it completely wrong. Not only do they pick the same popular numbers that many other lottery players prefer to pick, they also play number combinations that have completely wrong number distribution patterns.
No wonder jackpots roll over so many times and grow that big!
Are random Quick Picks better?
The answer is “NO”.
With trully random Quick Picks – if that’s what they are – you might avoid playing the same popular numbers that everyone else is playing, but that alone doesn’t guarantee a better chance to win.
The real issue is this one:
Plenty of quick picks do not have that typical number distribution pattern that nearly all jackpot winning tickets have.
There is an EASY and Fully Automated way to avoid all that:

It’s as simple as look, point and click.

What is Progressive Lottery Wagering?
Why would anyone play the EXACT same lottery combination in 3 different lottery stores?
I know EXACTLY why!
Here’s what happened …
On January 26th 2015, Verlyn Adamson bought 3 identical tickets at 3 different locations … and won the top prize of Wisconsin’s Supercash 3 times (3 x $350,000).
But this true story gets even more intriguing …
He performed the same stunt in August 2008, capturing the top prize of $350,000 on 4 separate tickets (4 x $350,000).
Hard to believe, right?
Here’s the official press release from the Wisconsin Lottery. (pdf-file)
I was puzzled by this for quite some time, but today … I know exactly WHAT he did, WHY he played the same combination multiple times, and HOW he did it.
This strategy is not for everyone, and the number picking process can be anything (In my view, you better use Winslips for that).
But the strategy as a whole is a real eye-opener.
Here’s HOW it works …
Let’s stick to Wisconsin’s Supercash.
You get 2 plays for $1
When you match 3/6 you get $1
So when you wager $1 to play 2 identical combinations, and match 3/6, you get 2 x $1
You make a $1 profit.
When you lose, your total loss is $1
Imagine you lost the first wager and decide to play the same 2 combinations for the next draw. (= $1 for 2 identical combinations again)
The following will happen.
When you win with this 2nd wager, you break even.
When you lose again, you have a total loss of $2.
To make up for that $2 loss, you need to play the same combination 3 times.
At this point, you add another “nearly-identical” combination (= 3 times the same combination + 1 time another combination that’s nearly identical to the other 3)
Want an example?
play 3 times this: 5-8-10-11-26-36
and 1 time this: 5-8-10-11-26-37
This will cost you $2
Your total wagering amount for this bet and previous bets is $4 at this stage (= $2 + $1 + $1)
- when you match 3/6 with all 4 combinations (5-8-10 for example) you win 4 times $1 and break even again
- When you match 3/6 with the 3 identical combinations (5-8-36 for example) you have a total loss of $1
- When you match 3/6 with that unique and “slightly different” combination (5-8-37 for example) you end up with a total loss of $3
To make up for that loss, you need to do “more of the same” while adding more and more near-identical combinations … until you make a profit or break even.
This is a special form of “progressive lottery wagering” or “progressive lottery betting” where players slowly expand their number coverage (almost like a slow wheel).
Progressive lottery players hope they will capture some MULTIPLE higher prizes while trying to break even (4/6 or 5/6 and – in Verlyn Adamson’s case – even 6/6).
But the exponential nature of this form of wagering has some real limits. It honestly ends somewhere.
If you wanna try this at home, then be warned.
If you don’t have sufficient funds, then progressive lottery strategies quickly end with a (big) hole in your pocket.
You don’t have any guarantee when you have sufficient funds either.
It’s “hoping for” at best, and certainly not a strategy for the average Joe Budget player.
For Mister and Misses Budget, Winslips is way more efficient and much better:
