Lottery Systems
This is why some people spend too much money on the lottery. They believe there are special systems that can accurately predict the next winning numbers by looking at previous drawings.
In this forum thread at lotterypost.com, a member reveals he has a new system that is accurate 85% of the time and when it misses, it is usually close.

Of course, the number he predicts does not come up, but that must just be the other 15% kicking in or he has made a mistake in the calculation.
The next prediction he makes is for 628 to hit in the Pennsylvania evening drawing. It doesn’t hit, but does hit a couple days later in the daytime drawing.
Coincidence? Yes. But the other members think he is on to something. After that he gets sort of close once, then you never hear anything about this “system” again.
So the members start following other systems posted in the forum.
