You need to fit a three-way flux capacitor to a DeLorean car, then wait for lightening to strike. If you've set the dates right, you should arrive in the middle of next week and then you'll know what the numbers are.
The just come back the same way and mark 'em off on your ticket.
Using the same numbers on a subscription, so far this year I've had 15 wins on the Thunderball. Unfortuanatly, not one of them has been over �10. But I'm not complaining.
If you believe the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics then every draw produces billions of seperate universes with different draw results.
In one universe you'll win - you don't need to know, you're going to win somewhere anyway
Actually Ethel, I don't believe it's physically possible for one person to buy all 14m odd combinations - it would take longer than a week to do it.
And the chances are you'd end up winning less than you had staked.
dzug - you might be right about the time thing, but you'd still technically win - even if you get back less than you staked - a bit like my betting at the dogs sometimes!
And you'd need about �14m spare cash lying around to buy the tickets.
That will be ok, so it will only cost me �140,000,000 to win the �4,800,000 jackpot, some 5 number draws, a few four numbers and quite a lot of 3 number combinations
You can�t choose numbers to increase the your chances of winning but you can improve the payout when you strike lucky. There's a good article at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7-2020 329,00.html which shows how � though the roll-over it mentions has long since gone.
