I have a fool-and-idiot proof method for winning the lottery. *But* you have to follow the method completely. First, get a cigar box or similar container. Choose your lottery number. Put your dollar (or however much) in the container. When the winning number is announced, see if you got the number. If you did, take the money out of the container. If you did not, leave the money in the box. Repeat as often as wou want. Since the odds of getting a three digit number are between 400 and 600 to one, you'll probably have a nice little prize when you win. But you have to leave the money in the box when you don't.
