I am taking this strategy from my Roulette Strategy. I am just changing the basics around a bit to fit a game with higher odds. I am not a gambling expert. Following my strategy by no means guarantees a win. You have the same chances of winning as everyone else. I take no responsibility for your actions. Please, if you are going to gamble, do it responsibly. Do not spend money that you need to pay your bills and feed your spouse an kids. They are so much more important.

Step 1: I am going to make this easy. I am going to use the Florida Lottery: Cash 3 as an example. We are going to buy a series of 6-way box .50¢ tickets. Why? Well, the odds of winning this game are the lowest at 333.3 to 1. We will lower this number by buying a series of tickets. But first we need to see all the numbers visually. So I am going to list all the combinations here:

000 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009
011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018 019
022 023 024 025 026 027 028 029
033 034 035 036 037 038 039
044 045 046 047 048 049
055 056 057 058 059
066 067 068 069
077 078 079
088 089
099

111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119
122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129
133 134 135 136 137 138 139
144 145 146 147 148 149
155 156 157 158 159
166 167 168 169
177 178 179
188 189
199

222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229
233 234 235 236 237 238 239
244 245 246 247 248 249
255 256 257 258 259
266 267 268 269
277 278 279
288 289
299

333 334 335 336 337 338 339
344 345 346 347 348 349
355 356 357 358 359
366 367 368 369
377 378 379
388 389
399

444 445 446 447 448 449
455 456 457 458 459
466 467 468 469
477 478 479
488 489
499

555 556 557 558 559
566 567 568 569
577 578 579
588 589
599

666 667 668 669
677 678 679
688 689
699

777 778 779
788 789
799

888 889
899

999

Step 2: Obviously we cannot pick them all. You would spend more than you can possibly make in profits. So what we are going to do is pick our favorite number between 0-9 and replace the 0 in the first section. In this case we are going to pick 7.

700 701 702 703 704 705 706 707 708 709
711 712 713 714 715 716 717 718 719
722 723 724 725 726 727 728 729
733 734 735 736 737 738 739
744 745 746 747 748 749
755 756 757 758 759
766 767 768 769
777 778 779
788 789
799

Step 3: We are now going to delete the sets that have duplicate numbers. The reason for this is if you make a spend that is more than half of the winnings, down the road you end up spending more than you win nearly every time.

701 702 703 704 705 706 708 709
712 713 714 715 716 718 719
723 724 725 726 728 729
734 735 736 738 739
745 746 748 749
756 758 759
  768 769
789

Step 4: This leaves us with 36 Number sets out of 219 That drops our odds to about 1:6 which means that one of our numbers should be drawn about every 6 drawings. Maybe :)

What do I mean? Well, I am going to use the same strategy that I did for Roulette. I am going to keep my eye on the numbers that are drawn and wait for a certain number of misses before I start to play. Why am I waiting. While the odds of winning are always the same, I am counting on those same odds to not allow the same numbers to be playes day after day. If I lose, then I double my spend on the same numbers and wait to see if I win again. I keep doubling my spend ’til I win. (I do realize this can get expensive fast. That is why they call it a risk.)

Step 5: Buy your 36 numbers at .50¢ 6 way box. This will cost you $18. If you win, you get $40 (your profits are $22), If you lose, you will buy the same numbers 2 times each. This will cost you $36 more dollars (total spent is $54). If you win you get $80 (Profits = $26). If you loose you play the same numbers 4 times each. This will cost you $72 (total spent is $126). If you win, You win $160 (Profits = $34). Lets watch the rest:

1 – $18 spent could win $40 ($22)
2 – $36 more ($54) could win $80 ($26)
4 – $72 more ($126) could win $160 ($34)
8 – $144 more ($270) could win $320 ($50)
16 – $288 more ($558) could win $640 ($82)
32 – $576 more ($1,134) could win $1,280 ($146)

As you can see this can get really expensive. Let’s try something a little different. Let’s only have ten sets:

701 702 703 704
712 713 714
723 724
734

This is a lot less likely to win. The odds are 1:22. I would wait for about 30-50 loses before you play this one. The winnings are a whole lot more. You will need a lot of money to spend in case you don’t win for a while.

1 – $5 spent could win $40 ($35)
2 – $10 more ($15) could win $80 ($65)
4 – $20 more ($35) could win $160 ($125)
8 – $40 more ($75) could win $320 ($280)
16 – $80 more ($155) could win $640 ($485)
32 – $160 more ($315) could win $1,280 ($965)
64 – $320 more ($635) could win $2,560 ($1,925)
128 – $640 more ($1,275) could win $5,120 ($3,485)

If you get to this point, you will have a problem buying that many tickets. In that 8th drawing you will have to buy 1,280 tickets. That is nearly impossible, not to mention that most people don’t have $1,275 to spent. Now if you can get a group of people who would like to take the risk, $3,485 is a nice chunk of change to split between several people.

Again… A Warning: It can sometimes take 30, 40, 50 or even more draws before your group of numbers come up. It is possible to loose that money. This is not a fool proof system. If you have a gambling problem, please seek help and leave this page right now.

Thanks for reading.
