[@BASESKIZL]

thulani mbuli one more reason Dick Lustig is wrong is that 70% of lottery winning tickets are from QP’s. But what they don’t tell you is most of those winnings are going to be from the tickets with better odds.

False 😂. That’s why so many aren’t successful or wealthy at anything thing in the world with your mindset. It’s the law of belief or the law of mind is what helps people become huge successes.

“Don’t play quick” I strongly disagree. I actually looked this up. Over 75% of the winners won from quick picks. Even the woman next to him just said that’s how she won.

[@bronxscratcher]

That's because more people play quick picks. Let's say, for example, 70% of the tickets sold are quick picks. If there is a winner of the jackpot, there is a 70% chance it was purchased via the quick pick option. Moral: Just because more people win with quick picks doesn't mean the odds are better than if you pick your own numbers.

To win with quick picks you need to use the Law of Attraction and be in alignment with the win, but to win strategically quick picks aren't as useful. Different methods require different sources.

[@APDTTMH]

One thing I noticed about these big winners. After they win, Honestly they help no one. They quickly forget were they came from. And I mean that for all colors, They only look out for them and theirs. When you get blessed big, Your supposed to give as well. Remember, You cant take it with you.

Sorry, but Cynthia Stafford is founder of a charity and she also gives back a lot to other charities to help kids and families in need. Please read about her :-) Love and Light !

Its better to NOT give because most winners don't know HOW to give properly. When you hit it real big, everyone around you become vultures. Many winners have also gone broke because of giving too many away and get screwed over.

[@bertrumhindermark3951]

And how many broke people are just as selfish and self-centered? Its a human condition. If you read up on some of these bios, almost all mega-pot winners do in fact donate large amounts to charity, help elevate their family and friends financial status and help out when they can. Just because you win a large amount it doesn't make you a saint. The first thing to do is take care of ones own problems before trying to solve another's.

Other countries as said the tax is taken from the purchase cost of said number voucher/ticket bought/sold per country rate which varies from one to another, generally based on what info is given on Wikipedia, 12% goes to tax and only 53% goes into the prize fund of which is what the winner takes. The other percentage is spread over operating costs and funding national and local causes. Same goes for EuroMillions in the UK but only 50% of the funds goes tot he prize winner. In respect even in the few states with no state tax as income on lottery , the winners take home 67% of the prize after IRS tax alone, where I am from they impose 5% on the prize so I would only take home 62% of the prize money. Still far more than other country (nationwide) and multinational lotteries.

The odds of winning the lottery are roughly equal to this::: Guess a number 1-50. and if it matches the randomized winning number you're on the right track.. Just do this successfully 4 more times/ exactly 5 times IN A ROW, back to back. That'd be about the same luck as winning the lottery. 50^5 =312.5 million which is fairly close to lottery odds of ~1 in 275 million.
