The problem with this strategy is that your number won't
come up unless you forgot to get a buy a ticket that week.
Then you'll feel like one of those Warner Brothers cartoon
characters whose head turns into a lollipop.

When you get a ticket, always use a different set of random
numbers; preferably not those picked by the lotto machine
itself. Who knows how those are generated, or how truly 
randomly they are distributed?
