Reminds me of that time when the computer knew beforehand which ball will drop:

Also, one lottery I know donates to the Clintan Foundation (yes, this is a very bad thing).... so beware.
@JDTAY: You might want to calculate and consider your
Break-Even point
@rygD: Here is a though: How about
reversing it?
Thus, making your own lottery ticket; writing your numbers on the back of an envelope. Inside the envelope you put the money you supposedly would invest in a real ticket (15 euro's at the moment).
Then, IIF you win, take out the amount you won, say, 10 euro. So every month you play, more money goes into the envelope. *(in theory, you COULD get into negative numbers, but you put an I.O.U. note inside your envelope for those cases). Statistics say that there should be around 100 euro inside after 1 year. Thus, playing for 10 years would yield 1000 euro in your envelope...
Ain't got time for that? Fine, play with 100 lottery tickets at once (use
@ible 's link to generate the numbers). If you do not have the cash to "buy" 100, just make paper bills and put them inside the envelope.
But wait (for Dutch people only)... if you win more than 454 euro... you need to pay taxes! 29% over the amount you won... now the law is skewed here, you should have gotten a permit beforehand... so now you are doing something illegal and can go to jail for making your envelope lottery (and not paying for the permit or not paying taxes or counterfeiting money)! So keep it hushed and don't post your results, just in case!
