Is there a Mr. Happy guide to weekly lottery?

I like how you all are ridiculing me instead of helping.

Because there IS no help.
RNG is RNG.

There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people.

There is no guide to RNG, sadly. All you can do is pick a number and hope

I'm tired of 'winning' just 86 MGP every week. In fact I'm losing MGP every time because of 100 entry fee. Cactpot's weird setup of choosing winning numbers in exact reverse order makes it much more difficult to win, otherwise I'd have won many numbers.
Are there reliable, time-proven strategies of increasing chances to win the Jumbo Cactpot?

Can I just ask, what is this "reverse order" that people keep mentioning? You pick a number, then the winning number is compared to that and if the last digit matches (and then the second-to-last, and so on) then it's a win, right? Or does it match the last digit of your ticket with the first digit in the winning number?

Try working customer service for pretty much anyone and you'll rescind that opinion. There are pleeeeenty of stupid asked questions, in any community.

They're referring to the fact that if the winning number were 1234 and you had 1235 you would win absolutely nothing, while 9234 would be second place. The reward system requires matching the lowest digits in order first, rather than matching any digits (ie. winning number is 1234, you have 1837 -- two matches by many lottery standards, but nothing as far as this game goes).

EDIT: also, just use the randomly generated number function to pick your numbers, or pick the same meaningful number like everyone else does. Using a random number every time I've won 3rd place once, and 4th a couple of times. It's all a wash since every number has an equal chance of winning.

I'm so happy i stumbled up on this thread. Gave me a good laugh
