if bro is bad luck I just think, I also stop playing I don't buy those tickets anymore I have a salt hahaha so if I get in the daily prizes welcome it is but I do not spend because I do not have much luck in the draws hopefully this month I can change that and take something nice
It happens - I had multiple failed tries in the last couple years when I purchased over 3000 tickets and never won anything. There's not an exact science of how to do this besides to more tickets you buy the greater your chances will be - at least on paper. But sometimes quantity can't help you.

It is not so easy to win in this lottery. I bought many tickets to be declared a winner 3 times. Last year in December i bought approximate 1600 tickets and i didn't win, although there were 11 or more prizes that Sunday. The BRM system chooses the winner.

I've had a countless times tickets via the mob calendar and those ended up being worthless because I never had the luck to take down something with them.

Bowie1984, so, you didn't win any prize with these tickets won at the mob calendar. I won this prizes 3 times and i remember that every time i bought many tickets. You suffered... the same thing with me. Others are lucky and win with 50 or 100 tickets.

If as he says it is a lottery, sometimes we think you have more tickets, it gives us more possibilities, but the truth is that with so many people, what are the real possibilities of each person and how much% could it be to have a certain amount of tickets or how is it that winners are chosen

I actually posted something this dummer about the misconception people have of the lottery. When there are more prizes, you actually have LESS chances of winning, not more. Below is what I posted this summer:
Joined: Oct '11 Location: Sweden Age: 28 (M) Posts: 1327 Well, 250 tickets give you at the most 2,5% chance to get one of these prizes. Most people make the mistake of thinking that because there are dubbel the amount pf prizes, their chance of winning also dubbles.
Here's some quick math: 250 tickets bought with 10k tickets total in play gives you 250 in 10000 chances of winning. After the first ticket is paid, there are still 9999 tickets left, so that time around you have 250 in 9999 to win.
Now, to calculate the odds of winning one of these tickets, you need to add all the numbers together, meaning you have a total chance of 500 in 19999. Simply put, you're still only at about 2,5%.
If there had been only one prize, with 250 tickets you actually have more chances of winning, 250 in 5000 which translates into 5%. So really, when there are a low amount of prizes, that's when you get a big ger chance of winning with a low amount of tickets.

yes,ofcourse you have less chances when there are two or three prizes in draw and with 100 or 200 tickets you dont have much chances to win it!so when you dont buy them and have only tickets from mob calendar,its hard to expect to get 50 $!

This is just proves that if you buy more tickets you will have a greater chance to win a prize. The amount of prizes don't matter in the end.

It sure is! But you can be crazy lucky like my girlfriend was a few years back. She won the draw with nothing more then the singel ticket she got as a birthday gift from BRM. That's just insane luck to get that! I can't remember how many prizes were in that draw, but it's still extremely lucky no matter what!
