Title: How close have you ever been to winning a big amount/jackpot?
Post by: Fivestar4everMVP on November 17, 2023, 08:56:29 AM
I honestly do not know if we've had a discussion like this before on this board, but this is based on my personal experience while playing on L0tt0.com (http://L0tt0.com) last night, I was just so close to hitting a x1000 while I was playing pick six game, which would have multiplied my initial bet amount by 1000 times.

But unfortunately, I ended up with a mere x10 because the numbers didn't align well.

Here is the shot below.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/17/FPKp1.png

As you guys can see on the shot, I placed a bet on 490082, and the system played 480088, and according to the information in the shot below..

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/17/FPpZm.png

If my second number, which is 9, was also the same number the system played, it means that five of my numbers out of six, would have played and I would have made x1000, which Is the second to the highest jackpot being x2500.

It was a very close one for me, and I did spend more than 20 minutes staring at the outcome of this game, and wondering why just one single number had to spoil what would have been a jackpot win for men, and I did x10, instead of x1000  :'(.

Lets discuss guys, how close have you ever been to winning a big about of money, a jackpot, maybe in sports betting or lotto, or any other game that has to do with numbers, online or offline, how close have you ever been to winning a big amount, and what was it that spoilt the win for you.?

Not even close. I have tried this in a lotto outlest here in my place but winning the jackpot is really far from happening. I have been buying tickets for I think like 2 years before but the jackpot is so elusive. I don't know if I had to try to buy tickets again but this depends on my budget. Your ticket combinations are good and is close to winning the jackpot, I wonder if those combinations has significance to you or just random numbers?

It happens to me 4 years ago I was one number away from winning over $10 million in our currency on lottery, actually, I was the missing number in my mind but I decided to take another number, my life could have changed if I had picked the original number but the second prize is still good I manage to add it to the grocery store.

Every time I think about it, I just laugh at it, if it's for you, you're going to hit it, maybe in the future I'll hit the jackpot but from now on I will always stick to the number I think of, or better get another ticket where all your original is included, so you'll have no regret later.

Oh man, that must've been such a rush almost hitting that x1000 multiplier! I bet your emotions were all over the place.  I hate when that happens in games, like when everything lines up just right but then fate pulls the rug out from under you at the last second.  Sucks and  big wins in gambling seem to come down to sheer luck and perfect timing.  I've had some close calls playing slots too but never on that kind of scale.  The stars really have to align to hit a jackpot.  I'm too skeptical about lotto games to play them much because the odds are so astronomically against you.  But hey, someone's gotta win eventually right? Maybe next time that x1000 multiplier will hit for you! You can't win if you dont play.

I remember a couple of years ago, We were so close in winning the Mega Jackpot prize in a Lotto outlet here in our country because all 6 digits combination numbers was picked, but on that day, we didn't bet on the lottery and it was one of our regrettable time. The Mega jackpot prize is worth $576,727.
The winning numbers that day is my families combination number since then and we always use those number when we have a time on buying lotto ticket.

Im not really that a fan on making some bets or buying tickets online or betting on lotteries but i do have some experience on offline sweepstakes or lottery on which i did bought some tickets for almost 2 months.
I have never been able to get some hit on getting 4 digits at least so far on which i have that stopped on make betting knowing that odds of winning is really that close to impossible.
Yes, the price per ticket wont really be that much or something that it is really that cheap but its something that could bring out some stress everytime that you wont really be hitting up the jackpot.
I dont know if its just me on where i do get irritated or get pissed whenever i do miss out that combination. lol

Basing up on what you had shared here op, hitting that 1000x almost? that do really give out that kind of annoyance for a certain period but since you are
only betting small amount then it wont hurt but you are already imagining on hitting that multiplier which would really be giving that kind of boost up.
Try next and you might be able to hit it up but dont expect knowing odds is always been that too close to impossible.

I was really unlucky in the lottery, not even hitting 4 numbers out of 6. I could just dream about it at least hitting almost is a big factor to say that we are not unlucky for this and maybe the time has come to hit the jackpot. But for me, I was hopeless then, it looked like winning the jackpot prize was quite hard and I had to say to myself that if I continued doing this I could surely lose more. I've been in sports betting and this a great place for me as I was a fan of sports.

In spotbetting, I was lose to winning big with a long slip which would have been a life changer for me but you know how this long slip game do end. The last game was the game that cut my slop. The game was played for one week and all the games came out as predicted, which gave me more confidence that I have won but unlucky for me the last game stole my win from me.

I couldn't eat and I was very upset on my greed because I was called by the bet agent to cash out, which I told them that I am winning the huge sum of money and they should make arrangement for my funds. This happened last year and it is still fresh in my memory. I don't play lotto, so i don't have any experience on it.

That must have been a rollercoaster of emotions. it's tough when you come so close to a big win, only to have it slip through your fingers because of one number. I can imagine the excitement and frustration that comes with being just a hair's breadth away from a life-changing win. It's those moments that keep us coming back, isn't it? The thrill of the possibility. Anyway, here's to hoping that your next round brings you the jackpot you've been eyeing. Sometimes it's the near-misses that make the eventual win all the more sweet. Best of luck in your future games!

In my various experiences with different types of gambling, whether online or offline, in provably fair games like dice, I thought and hoped that I could recover the losses and win big before my session ends or before my bankroll is depleted. Unfortunately, luck did not favor me, even though my bankroll was somewhat significant for me, considering that I rarely have such a large bankroll. As for scratch cards, there were moments when I thought I would hit the jackpot with the remaining scratches, but it turned out not to be the case. Fortunately, I didn't have high expectations.

Never won any before, but been close to winning is still an anticipation. However, I've been close to friends who won loads of bets and it's actually part of the triggers that got me involved in gambling.

I consider winning a 'luck' but you have to be guided, with the winners I got around me, I'm hoping to win anytime soon but I'm very careful not to get addicted to gambling.

Not even close. I have tried this in a lotto outlest here in my place but winning the jackpot is really far from happening.

Your ticket combinations are good and is close to winning the jackpot, I wonder if those combinations has significance to you or just random numbers?

Same situation since its so hard to win on lotto even closest on that since there are so many numbers and provability to win is so low. I win some small amount but it can't cover up my losses on lottery but still decided to bet since who knows right? One of these days we are the one who can spot the jackpot and became a instant millionaire. Although its far to happen but since we are consistent to place some bets while the jackpot price became more bigger and bigger then there's so slim hope that we can win that prize.

I don't have any significant number but next time maybe will bring some numbers that provably used for long time since I think if you use that numbers for long time then there's a chance that you can win some amount on lottery. Let see what will happen if luck will came then this will be good to us.

I have had some big misses too in soccer bets. I think that was about three years ago where a game became the hard luck for me in two different bet slips. That match appeared in both slip and it was the last match that winning it would have been a big testimony for me but behold at FT, the slips were red indicating loses. Since then I avoided playing same option for the same match.

I got x1000 one time at the tome of life in a three liner, and twice in Plinko, but the only problem is I spent half of my capital before I reached that big hit. So, you won't even feel that you really hit x1000 after that.
That same way happens over and over again sometimes I am near losing almost x1000 before I get that kind of multi-win. Never had that one chance where I would receive that multi-win in an early 100 bets or so.

So, I cannot say I am close enough to that jackpot that I wanted for a long time because I never had it as early as possible for me to get out and withdraw the money. Most of the time it will take hours and with small bets it sometimes gets tiring to wait for it.

I realized that I have the same situation like yours, I rarely won in gambling activities but I've been so close in winning, so I guess I'm not that lucky when it comes to gambling activity, but I'm winning in a raffle so many times wherein there's no money/payment is involve, like totally winning for free. even though I rarely win, I'm still playing out of fun when I have my free time, So that I don't get obsessed with playing it.

Mine is very different it's not about the numbers but it's more about the minutes I have a set of numbers that I've betting for the last five months I dreamed these numbers and I thought to bet on it so I bet for five months, then one day I have overtime and when I arrived in the betting station I was late by two minutes the cashier close the betting because they have a rule that they have to close the betting a few hours before the betting and it happened that the numbers I've been betting show up and I was late by two minutes.
I couldn't sleep the whole two weeks but I soon moved from that it's no use thinking of that, it's not really for me, maybe in the future numbers will show up in my dreams again but this time I will not be late again.

Unfortunately I have never played the lottery and have never played in the lotto, I have seen your discussion with the lotto owner about how winnings are calculated and how that number would be a win of x10 or x1000. I see that the chance of winning x1000 or x2500 is very small

so if you want odds based off 0-100 percent its:
2500x - 0.0001%
1000x - 0.0009%

Keep chasing! :D

I'm also confused about how to guess the correct number. If I may ask, what is the minimum bet to play lottery? Maybe if we play with small bets we can guess the lottery more so the chance of winning x1000 is bigger

Hey komisariatku!

So just so everyone is clear- the game Fivestar4ever is talking about is Pick-Six on l0tt0.com. All the games on my site are instant play... It's not like a lottery, more like scratch off tickets and slots.

With that said, you pick 6 numbers or you can randomize it. You can bet up to 5 rows (each with 6 numbers) on each game. The winning 6 digit number (provably fair) is matched against the numbers you played. Matches are seen on the pay table (scroll down, middle tab)

Pick Six (https://www.l0tt0.com/pick-six.php)


Here is my latest big win!!! (and yes... I play on my own site :D)

The minimum is $0.1 cents, but this depends on which game you are playing, like for example, if you are playing pick six, there is always an option of choosing up to five rows, where you can pick six numbers for each row, minimum bet for each of those rows is $0.1 cents, you can increase it to as high as $5 if you want.

Another example is, if you are playing quick pick games, you have the option of choosing any number from 00 to 49, you can choose as many numbers as you want, but minimum bet for each number you choose is $0.1 cents, but again, you can increase this to as high as $5 if you want.

I hope the explanation is understandable as possible, incase you are still lost, feel free to ask.

I have only once near gotten the max prize in a slot machine like Fish Eye slot from Reel Kingdom a UK partner of Pragmatic Play.In there I got x9833 multiplier out of the x10.000 that is the total amount of that game,unfortunately my bet was only 0.02 and I only got like near 200 dollars as a profit.

I have also gotten several times at Play n Go Medieval Arthurian legend slots from x1000 to x3000 but have stopped playing there because they don't feature the buy in bonus and games can get very boring there without giving you the bonus for thousand spins sometimes,so yeah I have been there near the top prize.

The slots have nothing to do with numbers you say but they are based on numbers as a RNG-random number generator decides the outcome of each spin.

It is good when we observe ourselves and see where we are good in so that we can make better improvements. If you know you are not good in gambling or a particular type of betting or games, it will better we switch to other games that would aid our winnings. Just like we know that there are many gamblers that prefer to bet on sport books than betting on Casino games. When we know where we are good and the kind of games we normally get luck, it is good when we focus on what works for us than running from one bet to the other.

For the Lotto, nah, wasn't even close to getting at least 5 out of 6 numbers. The best that I can do when I'm playing lotto back then was like only 3 or 4 numbers. But that's it. But I haven't try online lotto though, might be different outcome but who knows.

And that's why the odds of hitting that jackpot is really huge, everything should be align, including your lucky star that night to be able to get it.

Best of luck in advance for those who are going to play. Maybe one of this day, I will also try to play on that platform and see how it goes.

When i saw this, the next thing that could get to my mind was those times i used to make sport bettings and have a combination of about 5 to 10 games and the winning amount will be so high beyond my imagination all because the games have some higher odds and the more the risk the higher the odds, but at the end of the matches, i game will always make a spoil of them all and the entire money would be loosed, i would have thought about cashing out but that same game i have confidence in is what will turn the table round that i loose everything, this is a very common experience with some of us that always like sport betting with more games selections.

If you read every line of this my post, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5460763.msg62590335#msg62590335) you will know how close I was to win big so months back.
However, I don't put that in mind anymore because I believe it want yet my time to win such amount of money, maybe the joy of the win might make you because more addicted to gamble.
However, everyone have their gamble story to tell, more especially when it comes to the point they almost win big from their stake, I mostly bet on sports bet because that's my favorite games.
I haven't tried that lotto bet before because I believe its all about maths just like a post I saw today (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474432.msg63176406#msg63176406), but luck is the only thing that makes gamblers win in their bets.

The amount you had win from *1000 was very huge,if you had use the 1 dollars for the instant mean.This will multiple the winning amount to 1000 dollars which was the satisfied amount for the gambler.But it was based on the algorithm.The gambler will not withdrew the dollars as you mentioned it was end with the x10,the reason was the gambler get more greedy and continue to play the game.But he fail to understand the fact the luck was only one time not all the time.The greedy was made you to end with x10 from x1000.Nearly you had loss huge after the big win from the gmabling.The blunder one use to do buy the gambler was continuous games after the big win and try for the shot to make you the millionaire in one day.But the bad luck may get all your winning and you should withdrew after big win from gambling sites.

That’s too close, but still congratulations on your winning.
I personally have the same experience in lottery where I can have the chance of getting a big reward but ended up with nothing because of the last two digit that didn’t align with my bet, this could have been change my life but it didn’t happen at all for some reason, well luck will comes some time but its really rare to hit the jackpot.

Didn’t have the experience to be so close like this on winning the jackpot, lottery seems not in favor to me but I do have a small experience in bingo which is not that big and its just a local bingo game so I don’t consider it. Hitting the jackpot in Gambling is like one in a million, it’s hard to tell and hard to achieve so once you are able to hit the jackpot, you have to celebrate it because you’re lucky enough to win it.

I never buy lottery ticket so I never had been that close in winning a jackpot or huge amount in lottery.  I only play slots and dice and in those games I never win huge amount of money because I only bet at minimum.  Although I experienced winning more than 1000x of my bet, it is only around $100 - $200+ since  I only bet $0.1 - $0.2 and that amount is not huge compared to the huge winning reward of lottery games.

These are the kinds of experiences that you keep talking about and will find it difficult to forget because they are very painful, the near success experience. These kind of experience can make a gambler want to gamble more because they were so close to winning the last time and will believe  that if they gamble more they are close to winning. If no care is taken, It can turn a responsible gambler to an irresponsible one.

I've been opportuned to come very close to winning big in gambling few times and I can tell you that the feeling you get after coming too close to winning is something that shouldn't be experienced in the first place.
Sometime in 2016, I was very close to winning a bet of about $25,000 I staked in sports betting football precisely. My betting receipt contained 10 games of which the result of 9 of them  tallied with my prediction on the receipt but unfortunately for me, the last game of the was the one who's result didn't tally with what I predicted and it was very difficult for me to accept the outcome and move on

The closet I have been to winning a big amount of money was on sports gambling few years back when I placed a bet and the bet slip had just seven games, they were random picks with big odds so I didn't consider it a game that could possibly turn out in my favour until about five of the game played and turned out wins.

I then have attention to following up the games because I least expected and now, I'm seeing that five out of seven were already won, so I followed up the remaining two and fortunately the first turned out a win, the second was on and I was following it up ,my pick was over 2.5 goals, and by the end of the first half, they have scored a go already so I was almost so sure I will be winning big that day but sadly by the end of the second half they could get only one more goals and that was how I lost the game.

Lets discuss guys, how close have you ever been to winning a big about of money, a jackpot, maybe in sports betting or lotto, or any other game that has to do with numbers, online or offline, how close have you ever been to winning a big amount, and what was it that spoilt the win for you.?

Ahh, this is very confusing, for me personally, I even tried reading it several times to understand what you mean. Honestly, that's why I don't really like betting on the lottery. and it seems, you are a fan of the lottery game. But, after I tried several times to understand it, I started to understand a little about how it works. and apparently, each lottery will always be different in each country. In particular, local lotteries in each country are definitely different. That's why I have a little difficulty understanding the points of the bet you made.
Please understand, because I'm not a fan of lottery gambling.

But if we imagine, if the system number that comes out is 9. then, you have 5 correct numbers in your bet. and the reward is quite tempting, because it is multiplied by 1000x. Just imagine, if you only bet a few dollars. or one dollar, then the results are quite large compared to the capital we spend. But, there is something I don't understand a little, you guessed 4 numbers correctly. If the number 8 becomes 9, it means you guessed the 5 numbers correctly. Well, haven't you guessed the right 4 numbers? if so, you should get ×250. but, why only x10. However, there's a good chance I'm wrong, because I really don't know how this game works.

Despite all that, lottery is still too complicated for me and I'm not that interested. but if you succeed in breaking through with your guess, that is good luck for you. next time, I hope you have better luck than that. For me personally I prefer sports, it can be single bets or parlay options. As for the parlay option, 3 games is enough, 1x2 betting, with a bankroll that meets my standards. The result is no less interesting than lottery gambling.

I never buy lottery ticket so I never had been that close in winning a jackpot or huge amount in lottery.  I only play slots and dice and in those games I never win huge amount of money because I only bet at minimum.  Although I experienced winning more than 1000x of my bet, it is only around $100 - $200+ since  I only bet $0.1 - $0.2 and that amount is not huge compared to the huge winning reward of lottery games.

Same here, I have never had actually a good chance to bet a big multiplier because I mostly roll dices, play plinko and a little bit of blackjack. Not very into lotteries, besides those tickets I have gotten by meeting wagering requirement for Stake's weekly lottery and such.
Since my bankroll is relatively low and I don't want sessions to be too short, then I am kind of pushed to stay stuck to low multipliers and and low risk.

However, someday I would like to get an extra on my gambling budget and use it to take high multiplier dices, but using only a handful of cents.
After all, if we talk about gambling as a form of entertainment, we are supposed to seek for a gambling/risk setup which makes us feel entertained.

I not surprised by result like this and even though it is step very close to the jackpot then there is just one number that ruins it so that is game that does have random numbers in each output.
So far, the lottery is the only bet that is very difficult to achieve to get the jackpot, in fact incidents like what you are experiencing have happened repeatedly to gamblers.

Don't regret because the one number you were hoping for hasn't come yet and bring you the luck.
I had time to study how this type of betting works, but the human mind will never be able to penetrate the working system of random numbers in the lottery.

After all, everything depends on luck and when you don't have luck whatever number of bets you make and whatever strategy you use, it will be in vain.
Just assume you are unlucky and remember that you are not the only one who has experienced the same thing, many have got the numbers correctly but only made mistake in their position so they can't get the jackpot.

Hey komisariatku!

So just so everyone is clear- the game Fivestar4ever is talking about is Pick-Six on l0tt0.com. All the games on my site are instant play... It's not like a lottery, more like scratch off tickets and slots.

With that said, you pick 6 numbers or you can randomize it. You can bet up to 5 rows (each with 6 numbers) on each game. The winning 6 digit number (provably fair) is matched against the numbers you played. Matches are seen on the pay table (scroll down, middle tab)

To be honest, I've seen your site, but because I don't understand the concept and how to play, I didn't register on the lotto site. But since you came all the way to this thread to clear up any misunderstandings, I plan to sign up and learn how the lotto works.

Here is my latest big win!!! (and yes... I play on my own site :D)

It sounds funny, but it sounds like you enjoy the business and the game you have. Good luck to you and l0tt0.com

I am still too far from winning a lot of money or even the jackpot in many gambling games. To be close to a big win or jackpot requires great luck, which will only come to people who have that great luck. If we are not lucky, we will not be able to win any amount of money and we will not even be able to get even a small win. We must be aware that gambling requires luck in addition to skill and we can only play it and it's okay if we still hope that one day we can win a lot of money. But the important thing is that we can enjoy gambling as entertainment because who knows, it could bring us great luck.

Not even close, because the winnings obtained so far are still very normal winnings, but there was one parlay bet that used a free bet of $ 20 which almost gave me a win of more than $ 1000, if only one bet I chose did not lose, and that was a tennis match which is very close, only 1 game is missing for me to be able to win that $1000, and there are many more results from free bets that are lost because of just one match, and what is quite strange in my opinion is that the team or athlete performed well in the previous match but when I choose the team or These athletes all went the other way, so this taught me a lesson that there is no certainty of winning in sports betting, even if we bet on a team or athlete who hasn't lost because it could be the first loss after a winning streak.

That's pretty unfortunate and it is also a reminder of how luck matters in gambling because if you are not lucky enough, you will miss such opportunities even after going so close and I know how bad it feels after you see that you have missed an opportunity that could make a difference for you if you had hit it, but, what can be said or done, it's gambling at the end of the day, and we usually see that happening when we play slots where we miss jackpots with just a single item being misplaced after the spin.

I remember once I was playing HI-LO, and there was a jackpot if one had the outcome 9999 after choosing HI, and the outcome of my bet was 9998 which would have hit the jackpot if the last number was 9 as well, but, I wasn't lucky enough to hit it, it felt bad but I moved on, with a heavy heart.

I myself have been gambling for a long time but have never felt a jackpot or big win, and there is a friend of mine who does not know anything about gambling he saw me gambling and finally he understood then because he was curious he made a deposit to gamble and not for long he got the jackpot, I who have never felt a jackpot but only small wins that I always get. Here I think right with luck that gives a big win (jackpot).
Not everyone can get the jackpot easily and I have felt this, it's hard if we are the ones who are not lucky. Even beginners who are new to gambling can get a jackpot if great luck is on their side. So don't be surprised by the big win (jackpot) they get, it's because their luck helps them to get a big win.

I guess it's beginner's luck that often comes to those who have never gambled at all so it can make them continue gambling another day. And I think that's what ultimately makes many novice gamblers spend their time gambling without realizing that they have turned into someone who often gambles. We may only be able to see them get big wins when they start gambling, but we can't get big wins like them because our luck is different from theirs. And because we are more experienced than them, we also have to remind them not to chase big wins and start teaching them about self-control because if not, they will end up becoming addicted to gambling and it will be difficult to cure.

Didn’t have the experience to be so close like this on winning the jackpot, lottery seems not in favor to me but I do have a small experience in bingo which is not that big and its just a local bingo game so I don’t consider it. Hitting the jackpot in Gambling is like one in a million, it’s hard to tell and hard to achieve so once you are able to hit the jackpot, you have to celebrate it because you’re lucky enough to win it.
When it comes to winning, I think I'm not fortunate in terms of playing gambling because I haven't experience winning just like in simple betting games like color game and card games but I've experience the "so close in winning" everytime I play so I guess the favor is not for me and that's okay because I'm doing it for fun only and I know there's someone out there who really needs the prize than me.

TBH, I rarely bet on the lottery, almost never because I dont have the patience to analyze every number that I have to randomize.
but seeing your achievements but failing just because of 1 wrong number has become a normal thing, even in sports betting, many people often fail to get big wins when the odds are more than @100, they fail because of 1 lost match and you dont need to be sad about this incident and make it a valuable experience for you to be more careful in choosing the numbers you want to buy and after this incident my advice is that you dont focus too much on getting revenge on chasing big multipliers because I am afraid you will lose control because you failed to get that big multiplier.

btw I remember previously you had a thread about you winning on the site you mentioned.

I've never been so close to the jackpot. It is very difficult to get big multipliers like other friends have gotten. Maybe it's because I don't have the great luck that they have. But I still enjoy my gambling habit even though I only get small wins.

One day, I can definitely get a big multiplier. However, I don't know when I feel like it's not a problem for me. I'll just keep gambling as usual, place the minimum bet, and press the button. Maybe in the next slot game, I can get a big win by getting a big multiplier.

And that also happens with lotteries, which I don't buy too often either. But I've also never hit a big multiplier and still feel too far from the jackpot.

I was really unlucky in the lottery, not even hitting 4 numbers out of 6. I could just dream about it at least hitting almost is a big factor to say that we are not unlucky for this and maybe the time has come to hit the jackpot. But for me, I was hopeless then, it looked like winning the jackpot prize was quite hard and I had to say to myself that if I continued doing this I could surely lose more. I've been in sports betting and this a great place for me as I was a fan of sports.
To win the lottery you must match every lottery number.  So even if 5 of your 6 numbers match, it will not bring any benefit to you.  Because out of 6 numbers, 5 matches and 1 match or 0 matches will all bring the same result.  So I'm not a mathemativist about how many numbers I got in the lottery and how close I was to winning. i will be that motivation when I keep winning the lottery.  Then I will believe that my luck is very good and it works very well.

 It is good when we observe ourselves and see where we are good in so that we can make better improvements. If you know you are not good in gambling or a particular type of betting or games, it will better we switch to other games that would aid our winnings. Just like we know that there are many gamblers that prefer to bet on sport books than betting on Casino games. When we know where we are good and the kind of games we normally get luck, it is good when we focus on what works for us than running from one bet to the other.

Stick to a single way of earning even you know that it is not profitable for you means that you cannot choose a better place of earning for yourself. Don't compromise on your money because those can understand the value of money who work tirelessly to save money and to manage his home. If you examine your luck for more time but did not get profit then realize that gambling is not for you. Luck of everyone does not glitters all the time therefore don't examine your fortune all the time but enter into the field that offers you money for your hardwork. A person in gambling check bet one by one and when all bet become wrong and he loss all his money then he choose another way of collecting money but do not stop gambling. Earning money for your hardwork is better than losing your money by checking your unknown bet.

There’s a consolation price in lottery when you hit a certain amount of exact numbers. In my country, You will get a ticket refund for hitting 3 number out of 7 while 4, 5, and 6 exact number has consolation prize too that grows while the prize pool grow.

Hitting all the required winning number will just give you a major prize but a consolation prize from a huge prize pool is significant amount too so hitting this consolation prize is good achievement too.

Never won any before, but been close to winning is still an anticipation. However, I've been close to friends who won loads of bets and it's actually part of the triggers that got me involved in gambling.

I consider winning a 'luck' but you have to be guided, with the winners I got around me, I'm hoping to win anytime soon but I'm very careful not to get addicted to gambling.
You haven't won any? Even a small amount? No way man, because you said are already involved in gambling, unless only if what you've been playing all the time is a demo game. Well yeah, you can not win any real money on them lol, but maybe that was better for you because imagine if you got involved in the real game and you have tasted what the victory is like, you could have get addicted to it.

Our friends can truly influence us, this is why we are advised to choose them wisely, but there are also people who are like you, that knows what is right and wrong. I think that is more than luck. I salute you guys. Maybe you can also taught your friends about it.

Every gambler had their win in some match,but they try to hide to show they had not any win from the game.So we may pray for them to win on the next match,this was the reason for the gambler to hide their win.The big win in the gambling may be need of the luck to the gambler.But the win is possible to the random betting gamblers.If any one posses to say their never win the game in the gambling means,they should try the dice game in the reputed gambling sites.So they will possible to win 5/10 playing games was the assured one.The gambling site was not the bad one to make the people not to win even the one match in the gambling.The gambler who played the real game had the huge opportunity to win the game even on the random bet on the gambling site.

Sporting betting results are probably fair not like many Casino games that could make gamblers to keep making loses consistently and if they don't adjust the way they bets, it could cause more loses. It is good betting on games we are fully aware.

Just making use of your own common  sense on how lottery works then you wont really be finding it to be that complicated on which you would really be needing to choose 6-7 digits or less
basing up on lotteries rules and conditions on which you would really be needing to pick numbers and wait for those things to be picked on the said draw date. On the time that those number
matches then it would really be meaning that you have get that jackpot. Odds? It is really that close to impossible and this is why tons of people doesnt really like on betting
on lotteries but there are to those people who do hope and continuing on buying tickets because they are really that optimistic that they could really be able to hit the jackpot
without even trying out to realize on how hard it would be or couldnt really be happening even into your lifetime.

One way for the lucky ones to make big bucks fast is to win the lottery although this activity is associated with great risk if you analyze the rules of the game and identify the main trends you can develop winning strategies also to win you need faith in your success and a bit of luck.

If my second number, which is 9, was also the same number the system played, it means that five of my numbers out of six, would have played and I would have made x1000, which Is the second to the highest jackpot being x2500.

It was a very close one for me, and I did spend more than 20 minutes staring at the outcome of this game, and wondering why just one single number had to spoil what would have been a jackpot win for men, and I did x10, instead of x1000  :'(.

Lets discuss guys, how close have you ever been to winning a big about of money, a jackpot, maybe in sports betting or lotto, or any other game that has to do with numbers, online or offline, how close have you ever been to winning a big amount, and what was it that spoilt the win for you.?

I don't really spend a lot of time checking the numbers of the lottery. If it's not my numbers then I just throw the slip away and move on, there isn't really any point thinking about why I didn't pick that particular number. When it comes to lottery I don't have a fixed set of numbers that I always pick, for me it's always random numbers. Like that I don't have the issue to feel bad that if ever my numbers would win the jackpot, but I didn't play that week. It's different if you play lottery every single week, then having the same numbers are fine as you will never miss out on winning with your numbers. My grandfather for example played lottery for more than 30 years and picked always the same numbers. Maybe you believe in lucky numbers and think that this is going to increase your chances. I would always look at it from a statistics point of view, our winning chances in the lottery are always the same whatever number we pick. I am kind of glad that I don't know how close I came to winning a jackpot, because I also could have lost sleepless nights over it. Even though if it doesn't really matter if 1 number was just off by 1 or if all the numbers where wrong completely, you can either win or not win the jackpot, there is no inbetween.

That's so close but still you've won. Not a jackpot for me but I consider it as a huge bet before when I was careless in gambling and I have no obligations yet and that's why I can bet as much as I can.

That was like with sportsbetting, specific with esports - Dota 2. I know that many of you guys here are aware of the game and team's comeback and that's what happened to me like before on an important game that I have monitored.

A couple of hundred and it's like a sure game, at least one of the bets I have made was like that. And the YOLO version was with like an underdog and for the same reason of it was a come back.

I was very closing on hitting jackpot in the system, we just have to exert more actions and odds when wagering in the system, especially on our favorite teams. Jackpots doesn't locate experience gamblers rather it focuses on the newbies that have no idea on the basis of the system, picking some random gambler and he or she becomes more happier than ever, but I personally haven't won any jackpot, maybe I'm not lucky enough. Winning a jackpot from gambling, ofocurse its rare these days and we just have to concentrate on winning with solid strategies and practices put into place.
