One day, the rebel flag. The next, it’s the “rebel math genius”

I get emails. Lots and lots of emails, and at this point at least 75% of it is spam. The other day I got a political spam email urging me to buy Confederate flag products (something that I did not find particularly surprising in light of recent hysteria), but today I was sent a real gem:

Here’s a fascinating fact that’s quickly setting the lottery industry on fire…

The lottery isn’t rigged… nor a game of chance…

It’s just simple MATH.

And you can have the exact formula that was used by a math genius to win the lottery several times over… banking him over $324,000…

Allowing him to add some real luxury to his lifestyle and quit his day job FOR GOOD.

Check out this short video to see EXACTLY how it’s done.

You’ll see this rebel math genius bare it all… unveiling his simple secrets that could earn you an additional $200, $2,000 or even $20,000 a month.

No more losing sleep at night wondering why there’s never any money left after you pay the bills…

No more worrying about how you need to pinch pennies in order to support the family…

Or stressing about the kids’ college fund.

You’ll finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief and allow yourself to indulge in life once you start using this method to CRUSH the lottery.

I’ve always wanted to crush the lottery, but I never knew it was possible to beat statistical odds, so I have bought maybe two lottery tickets in my life. On whim, mind you; I’ve never been fool enough to imagine actually winning.

But maybe I need to wake up. (After all, I really could use an additional $200, $2,000 or even $20,000 a month.)

What might this “rebel math genius” know that I don’t?

Any ideas?

(I’d click the links provided in the email, but I’m just cynical enough to suspect that they might lead to some spammy malware site.)

    The average person can’t quit their job with 320,000 dollars. (Interest rates are essentially 0 – or may in the 1 to 2 percent range. So simple savings would yield between 0 and 6000 dollars per year.

    If your yearly income is 32,000, you might think you can live for 10 years… but that is betting that there is no inflation. That your electric bill doesn’t go up in the face of Obama’s energy policy. That your car insurance doesn’t go up. That you property taxes (if you own) or your rent payments don’t go up. Not a bet I would want to.

    You could put it in the stock market if you know what you are doing.

    “You are more likely to be killed in a car accident driving to buy a lottery ticket than it is that you will win the lottery.” Don’t remember where I heard that.

    I know how to beat the lottery because it follows patterns as does life and every thing else we mostly don’t know what the pattern is. Many years ago I talked to someone who hit the lottery and he told me how he won. He Ilved in chicago and played the lottery every week and one day the same numbers came up as the time before. He was upset and went down to the lottery They told him it happens in every lottery and showed him other lotteries as so many people complained. He move to arizona and when they brought in the lottery he played the same numbers as the time before and after 3 years he hit. This was without the power ball making it harder but not impossible. Q woman in bagdad arizona hit the lottery and a month later she hit it again playing the same numbers

    They have a SYSTEM (just like a lot of people who “invest” in horse races). See Captain’s comment above.

    LOL. No, it doesn’t work. But it’s a great fantasy.

    Otoh, I disagree with Zendo – you can retire quite nicely with $300k or so in several ‘second world’ countries.

    The systems used to generate lottery numbers are not perfectly random, but they are very close. You cannot beat the statistics, and people who claim to have “systems” are deluded or con artists. The more you play the more you lose.

    But its not just the statistics. Lottery officials skew the payouts. E.g., on a bet that should pay out 1,000 to 1 (say three numbers), the lottery commission will typically payour 400 to 1, so they keep 60% of the money even on a winning ticket. Then, of course, the winnings are taxed, so the true payout is something like 200 to 300 to 1, depending on your tax bracket.

    When I was growing up in Dorchester, MA, my dad played the numbers every day. The winning number was posted in the sports section of the Record-American. The mob (actually Whitey Bulger in our area) ran the numbers, and they paid out 600 to 1, and no taxes.

    There is a system for horse racing that has a 30% chance of winning I well explain if interested.

    I have one with a 33.3333% plus chance. It’s easy.
    1) Own a good racehorse.
    2) Enter it only in races with three or fewer horses.

    Ooops, I forgot…
    3) Bet on it.

    From my email of a few years ago:

    “On September 30, 2012, I believe a market-
    crushing event will take place…”

    I’m still waiting.

    I once a couple of guys at a Stanford computer event who legitimately made a fortune off the California lottery.

    Their company got the contract for the random number generation.
