Toronto women win jackpot lottery

[maydna]

quite surprised to hear the amount she won was $60 million.  in my country, this kind of money is enough to buy hundreds of mansions.  in the midst of this "PANDEMIC", their win is a great gift, but what amazed me was that they (her and her husband) always playing the same numbers for 20 years.

After playing the same lottery numbers for 20 years that came to her husband in a dream, a 57-year-old Toronto woman is $60 million richer.

Do any of you play the same trick as their (playing the same number always)??

I don't use the same trick as them, but if I am playing gambling, especially dice, I don't change anything too often, but I don't play dice games for a long time. Related to that news, that woman getting big lucky winning $60 million from the lottery. What I can not think of is that woman playing the same lottery numbers for 20 years. That is not a short time to wait for that number to come out as the winner. I am sure with that money that woman can buy anything she wants, but I guess she will save that money for the future. She will feel it is enough to have some money for her life.

$60 million that's worth the wait!! It is faith that keeps them believing that they will one day hit the jackpot, they are a good example of not giving up and believing that you will hit a jackpot, I'm sure the lottery people will use them as an example that if you keep on, you will eventually hit the jackpot and winners don't give up only losers.

Well... the problem is that we always hear about the winners. But hardly ever anyone mentions about the losers. During one of my visits to India, I came to know the story of one middle-aged individual who committed suicide a few days back. His wife was saying that he used to purchase lottery tickets every day (without a break) for 25+ years. Used to spend around 40%-50% of his earnings for the purchase of tickets. He kept the faith, but luck always evaded him. Eventually he was neck-deep in debt and was forced to commit suicide. Now all that remains is a bag full of expired lottery tickets, numbering in tens of thousands.

Wow, that is a huge amount of money, For sure if you have that amount of money you won't need to wake up earlier just to go to your work and make money because you can have big business from that which is a really good way of earning money. I like the discipline she has by staying at her numbers for so many years that is worth waiting. A lot of people are doing such things like that in our country that is also a common technique but not all can win.

[Poker Player]

I would never choose the same numbers to play all the time because I have heard cases of people who did those and just the week they didn't play for whatever reason, those same numbers came out that week.

Besides, as the lottery is EV-, I hardly play.

The dream part is interesting . It's possible that the faith of the family was tested, they believe, never lose faith and eventually end up winning with the dream number.
If it's destined for you, it will always come to pass, but if it's not, it won't. So, I wouldn't consider copying the family unless it was revealed to me or I had dream like that

[aoluain]

I play the lottery on and off once per week, its kind of a Friday treat and its always
a random pick of numbers.

Everyone has their own routine and structure.

An interesting trick we can do in our lottery is to check historical numbers.
If you pick a set of numbers and check historically if they ever were winning
numbers its surprising and brings home the realisation that it is difficult to pick a winner

That is definitely intetesting. Would be nice to make a survey before such a big lottery winning and ask people in general who dreamed if having the right numbers. There might be quite a few people who dream of winning but never actually win the lottery. In the end we only hear the story of the lucky winners but not the unlucky ones. Or having 5 right numbers and not the super number.

The odds of hitting of the jackpot in a lottery are very slim, whether if it's random or the same number you have been betting for several years it is pure luck. I know some people who bet in the lottery daily, which I think had been part of their daily routine which most likely happens to those who bet regularly in lotteries. I just hope they can value the money they have won and don't waste it. It's easy to go bankrupt even with millions of dollars if you don't know how to manage your money wisely.

Yeah, even though they've been doing it for years and finally get the odd this time, it's a stroke of pure luck there's no string attached here. Maybe some of you guys think that this is kind of something extraordinary has happened but trust me, most of the people who bet Lottery are those who don't change their numbers because they think that number would make them a millionaire someday and that's what happened here, it's the same as the other people who bet their own lucky number till now but too bad for them, there's no luck until now.

[leea-1334]

I used to play the same sets of numbers at my local betting shop (you pick 3, 4 or up to 6 numbers depending on the type of ticket) but overall I lose money. Same like dice, I do bet on the same numbers, but it is all psychological, the randomness and probability are all the same.

I feel such envy every time I read stories like this:)

There are three kinds of lottery bettor, those who bet with combination of their family's birthday, those who bet randomly and those who bet with whatever comes out in their mind or if they have dream some numbers, those who usually keep their family's combination and bet the same over and over again are the most dedicated compared to the two, and this is one of the proof.

[AicecreaME]

Betting to the same number is a very gutsy thing to do, let's say they are betting $1 every day in 20 years so it should be $87,600 approximately in total. Their dedication and perseverance to their lucky number totally paid off, but this doesn't mean that it could happen to anyone if they do the same trick, lottery is all about luck, there's no strategy or anything to win the jackpot.

[madnessteat]

Its not strategy but just purely make out some random guess and sticking into those numbers.No specific strategy that can really affect someones odds on winning a lottery.

One of the reasons on why I don't buy up tickets due to low odds of hits but since tickets aren't really that expensive or even an average joe can purchase on then they can
freely make out bets actively.

Wondering on how much that woman do spent overall in that 20 years of betting? For sure it wont really be over 60 million though.

This is exactly the strategy as many players use it and even some lottery organizers offer such a strategy by default. You choose one combination, replenish your account balance, and each new draw bets automatically. I don't think this strategy increases the probability of winning, but it certainly minimizes the time spent on the game.

I'm sure the woman who won is in good standing compared to her spending on lottery tickets over those 20 years.

I truly amazed them as well for being patient to wait that 20 years and possibly more years to come if they never have that lucky day.

Maybe, I was not that kind of personality, I usually choose different numbers in every lottery I do and maybe this is a reason why I'd never had a chance to win. For somehow I decided to quit and jump into sports betting.

She won $60 million but I also think about the amount she loses in 20 years, it might be more than $60 million.

[plvbob0070]

Betting on the same number combinations is difficult for me unless you have the same patience as them to bet for 20 years consecutively. Also, combining all of the money they spend for 20 years, that's a lot of expense nevertheless, it's worth it since they've won $60M. But obviously, this luck won't seem to work with everyone, and this strategy might even take more than 20 years for others.  Personally, I'm not a fan of the lottery, and even for other games, I don't stick with the same thing for a long period. But I'm just amazed at their persistence and how they manage to win such a huge amount of prize with it.

[onrise]

Relentless efforts for 20 years continuously without giving up on it itself is a huge accomplishment and probably that is the result which they as a couple have received it. An erroneous amount of money finally won which would have successes their years of efforts to buy the lottery with same number and luck just made it happened in the end. I would never continue this long years after not winning and would have changed the numbers.

[romero121]

People aren't the same. Different people follow different strategies to win as well as to test their luck. What I see with this couple is a strategy/test. In this they've succeeded, following this doesn't mean someone can win with the same process. In simple terms, it is fate. Majority may say it as luck, but I say it fate. I was meant to happen for them, so it happened.

Very determine and really believing that one day luck will backe their number up!

Now that they finally catched the big jackpot, it's time to move forward and plan everything ahead, it's a huge amount of money but also very decietful as it will let you to changed up and live the dream life that you always wanted to have, this couple needs to make sure that they'll be able to take care of everything and save big part of their winning for their family's future.

Since theyre already old then its not bad to cherish up the rest of years that they had left on using up that money.Its up to theirs on how they do gonna spend it.
This isnt something that commonly happens on this world where your perseverance and determination does really result into something like this specially talking about
lottery where winning chances is way too slim.Thing here is that it did really pays off and imagine on how many years of constantly betting to lottery
isnt really simple not only on the effort but also on the money that had been spent.It did really pays off in the end or really worth off.

From a mathematical point of view it doesn't really matter that she played the same numbers over and over again she just needed to play those numbers that particular day, however it makes a hell of a story, her husband had a dream about the numbers and they were stubborn enough to keep playing for 20 years until those numbers came up, that is an incredible story and I'm pretty sure that it is going to make its way around the world and many people from now on will begin to play their own magic numbers trying to be that lucky.
