This is not one of those wishful thinking things it is strong and a lot of people will be able to benefit from it. Apart from my own immediate needs I know of many other families (own ) and other that will benefit. I do beleive in karma, I an known to be extremely generous and compassionate and spontaneous when I am in a position to help and give.

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but I'm going to go ahead with it, anyway.
My prediction is that you'll buy a lot of lottery tickets and you'll be slightly financially poorer for the effort.
The lottery does not care if you are a good person, or if you are generous. It's strictly a numbers game. At hundreds of millions to one against you, I feel pretty safe in assuming that you won't be winning the thing, any time soon.
A better plan would be to find some way to productively do something to provide a product or service to your fellow humans that they might be willing to pay you for. The probabilities of success with such a plan are far better then with any state or federal lottery scam. Yes, just because it's your loving government running the game, doesn't mean it isn't a scam!
Sure, you've seen lottery winners on TV or in the newspapers go on about how their stunning victory was because of "karma", or it was "their turn". Of course a lot of winners feel that way, because lottery players tend towards muddy thinking, and a tendency to see mystical causes where there are only easily comprehensible probabilities. It's still just one winner out of hundreds of millions, and those are VERY LONG odds.
If you're still not convinced, I encourage you to go ahead and buy as many lottery tickets as you can afford. Some of the money goes to the schools, and maybe your contribution will cause the next generation to be a little better at math, at least giving them the ability to comprehend a simple probability.
Sorry for being a downer. Reality is only fun if you make it so, and you'll have a better chance at having fun and helping your loved ones if you work to put the odds in YOUR favor. Have a plan with better odds and you just might win, have your fun and help your friends, all at the same time.

I wish I could say that you will win the lottery but I don't believe it will happen.
You want to help others and you will find a way to help those you love. Helping does not have to mean that you will give money.
You are NOW in the position to help and give. Think about what you can do for a family member who is in need of attention and love.
Money will come to you in an unexpected way many years down the road. It will not happen now.

the lotto is not a good bet until the payoff is better than the chances of winning. in other words dont play until the pot is somewhere over 200 mil

I will give you $10 million if you do, but if you don't win then you owe me $10 million. Do you feel that confident of winning? you could double your money.

probably just a load of BS, but who knows you may be the lucky one in a million.
