5.0 out of 5 stars One of only two good lottery books, May 27, 2003

By	Tyler Jarvis (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are probably only two really useful and accurate books on how to play the lottery. The first is Ziemba, W. T. (1986) ,Dr.Z's 6/49 Lotto Guidebook, and the second is this nice little volume.

The authors focus is on winning the greatest possible amount if your numbers are selected. The book is based on the important idea that, while there is no way to increase your chances of winning, there are plays which will increase or decrease the expected payoff, in the unlikely event that you do win.

If you pick numbers the same way other people do, then you will have to share your winnings--something that could be very disappointing indeed. That is why, with the exception of this book and Dr. Z's book, the most popular lottery books will hurt you the most.

i thought this book did a good job of telling the reader ways to increase their chances of winning state lottery jackpots.the chapter on number combinations to avoid was very helpful. also the discussion on the best numbers to play in order to win the jackpot by yourself was intresting.

If you want to stay away from lingering lottery myths
and learn the truth and nothing but the truth on how to play lottery, this book is most valuable source of information. Based on the analysis of many millions of played combinations in many countries, it singles out the foolish styles of play that the typical lottery player follows. I found it especially interesting to see that playing foolishly means having to share the jackpot with thousands of other winners. Compared to most other books on the lottery, this book is completely honest. It is the definite lottery book for smart lotto players!
