A few years ago I got five of six lottery numbers, and the sixth # was 1 digit off. Do you think I've rolled my chances of really winning the lottery?

i dont think so, because if you did win, you know that your whole family would spend more time with you and everything seems good, but they do it for the money, your relationships change too!!!
believe me u don't need to win the lottery!!!

The Law of Independent Trials. Your next shot at winning the lottery is exactly the same as your first shot. I think someone calculated that in many lotteries one's chance of getting struck by lighting twice is better than winning the lottery? I look at it as a buck to dream, once in a while.

No, the near win has nothing to do with it. The odds of winning the lottery are millions to one. It is more likely that an asteroid will land on your head than winning the lottery.

Since the lottery is almost completely random I think you still got a shot. Playing the same numbers all the time increases your chance then if you play random numbers.

The fact is that in the long run you will lose more money than you win, on average, when playing against the house such as in a lottery.
What you should do if you like to gamble is pick up a game like poker, where you play against other human beings. Then only part of the game is luck, whereas a significant part is skill. Therefore there are players who consistently win big money.
If you want to try poker I can recommend http://www.xbet.com where you can play for free, then later when you're good enough to play for real money I suggest you find another site through http://www.rakemeback.se
Good Luck!
