im starting to have questionable thoughts about a guy sweeping 2 weeks outta four and a total of 30k points in just 1 month????????? Is this real???? odds of getting hit by lightning is less than winning draw 6 consecutive times in two weeks

Chances are that he maxed his BI, $50 worth of tickets, he took the risk and reaped the rewards, and what better way to play than max your BI to the game. to him..As in any game it only makes sense to mamise your risk/reward ratio.

Mentioned this earliar and don't want to come off as a whinning b**ch, but maybe BRM should limit to one individual can only win once in a week. No duplicate winners in same week. This seems logical and fare! And, yes! I am jealous because he's won so much, but to win all 3 places is not quite right. Nothing towards 2good4u,, I congratulate him and wish I had 1/3 of his luck!

its easy to maximize your BI when you win 3 at a time, nothing against anything to do with the drawing process but they have to check somthing out cause 1 time maybe but 2 sweeps and all eyebrows are turned up

I'm new so don't have many points to play with.

This guy is probably the one who have spent the most points (and money) on buying tickets on the Mob Draw during its entire history - and he doesn't win each time... now he got lucky a few times but as you know from poker, luck doesn't always stick. Sometimes the odds is with you, sometimes it's against you.
Some people believe that luck is just "opportunity meets preparation", and if you're not prepared (ie. have purchased plenty of tickets), you might not get lucky when the opportunity rises...

No, that's not how it works!! When you have paid for a ticket you have the right to be in the draw. The more tickets you have the better chances you have, that's really not hard to understand.

Posted by Administrator: Maximum tickets (5000) to maximise your chances of winning
LOL
Lets see spend 5000 for a chance to win 5000.........
Reminds me of the joke.....
A dumb blonde/brunette/red-head was standing in front of a soda machine outside of a local casino. After putting in sixty cents, a root beer popped out of the machine. She set it on the ground, puts sixty more cents into the machine, and pushes another button; suddenly, a coke comes out the machine!
She continued to do this until a man waiting to use the machine became impatient. "Excuse me, can I get my soda and then you can go back to whatever stupid thing you are doing?"
The blonde/brunette/red-head turns around and says, "Yeah right! I'm not giving up this machine while I'm still winning!"
But yeah I get it, it is fair (buy more tickets got more chances)

You have totally missed the point.... If you have 5000 tickets, and you win with one of them, you still have 4999 tickets left for the other one or two draws, depending on how many draws there are that weekend (each draw = $50, 5000MP, prize).

if theres 3x5000 u have a chance of winning 15000 1 ticket wins the draw. if 3 of your tickets are winners u have 15k points

Be happy for the guy instead of complaining...
