Re: 61 year old plays the same numbers since 1991 and wins 18 millions

Besides, it is easier when you realize that by playing the same number over and over you somewhat increase your chances of winning, as there’s a probability that a certain number will hit someday, but if you do different numbers, you risk missing that event.
