MICHIGAN STATE LOTTERY BELIEF

THE MICHIGAN STATE LOTTERY DAILY NUMBERS GAME HAS THIS LIST OF
NUMBERS WHICH THEY NEVER LET WIN. THEY PICK THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE
PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BET ON THEM BECAUSE THEY THINK THESE
NUMBERS ARE LUCKY. INFORMANT THEN SUGGESTED SOME LOGICAL NUMBERS
WHICH COLLECTOR FORGETS. INFORMANT KNOWS THIS BECAUSE HE USED TO BE
ON THESE NUMBERS AND STILL FOLLOWS THEM AND THESE NUMBERS HAVE NEVER
WON. INFORMANT BELIEVES THERE MUST BE SOME STATISTICAL WAY TO PROVE
HIS THEORY.

Submitter comment: DR. MARTIN REALLY SEEMED TO BELIEVE THIS THEORY AND TRIED TO CONVINC
ME.
