I had the 1st edition of this book, a smaller booklet back in 1988 when I lived in Phoenix, AZ. Saw it at a Circle K a block from where I lived (being the home base for Circle K they were everywhere), and unlike Louisiana, Arizona had lottery. I grabbed it because I thought here I can take a chance to win a jackpot. Her ideas about picking numbers, the biases, what not to do, and picking enough numbers to set them to a wheel made sense and changed the way I play lottery.I moved back to Louisiana 3 years later in '91, our lotteries are all computer generated except for Powerball & Mega Millions, and believe me if you think state lotteries don't know about Gail Howard & other lottery software, they do. I did get A+ software and her 5# & 6# wheeling software, I also have her 5# & 6# lotto wheeling books also, these go hand in hand with her Lottery Master Guide which replaces this booklet and goes into more detail and reasoning on better number picking for your lotteries.In our Louisiana Easy 5, certain skips of say 5 or8 (recently) do not even hit, seem to be "filtered out" from that lottery 15 or 20+ draws in a row, leaving you to pick numbers that might have those "due" skips to NO avail-they won't hit. It seems intentional, like computer generated lotteries might have their own filters they can use, there are many other ways to do this. I notice 3peats and 4peats can and do hit. The most repeated skip is "0", a repeating number. You can see all this in her A+ software, now A+ Gold.There are now at least 109 known jackpot winners, maybe more than that.I know 3 jackpot winners that use her software and read her book LMG, two of these winners won 3 jackpots each, their lotteries are NOT computer generated.This little book started it all, great information that makes sense. In a nutshell, paraphrasing: "what is most possible happens most often...what is least possible happens least often".
