The computer picks the numbers in an in-state daily game.
I bought the same 12 numbers in two week blocks for 5 or 6 months. I consistently won free tickets. At least 5 per two week block sometimes more.
I got disgruntled. (they slouched on redeeming my free ticket — the game officials gave me free tickets to iron out the differences between the ticket counter and me. I quit playing. I’m not your snowball anymore.)
— but I still track the same 12 numbers daily even though I do NOT purchase tickets. (I am very stubborn and opinionated and I have nerves of steel). It’s like a diary — a mathy diary :).
Now that I do not purchase the tickets any more, I almost never ‘win’ a free ticket. It is down to less than 2 free tickets per 2 week block.
Does this make you say hummm. . .
