Can Socrates predict the lottery? We ran tests on that probably 30 years ago, and the results were interesting. No matter what it is, there is always a cycle. You cannot predict the lottery number as a whole, for the possible variables are tremendous.
In the past few years, we have seen continual advertisements for record-breaking jackpots, but this is not some mere game that you can strategically win. You must realize you are betting against the government, and the house never loses.
Desperate for funds, the government has seemingly been promising larger jackpot prizes. Now, they claim that 65% of their earnings will go to the person with the winning ticket. The federal government takes a mandatory cut of all jackpot winnings and pushes all winners into the top tax bracket. State governments also demand a cut of jackpot winnings. There is a fee for public beneficiaries, retailer commissions, and administration costs as well.
You have a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the Powerball lottery and a 1 in 302.6 million chance of hitting the Mega Millions lottery. However, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning (1 in 15,000), attacked by a shark (1 in 3.75 million), or die from a bee sting (1 in 55,764), to name a few.
In addition to collecting taxes on winnings, the government receives tons of funding from ticket purchases. New York, the most popular state for lotto, earned over $10.545 billion from lottery revenue in FY23, allocating $3.7 to the Lottery Aid Education fund. This is a stark jump from FY21 when the state earned $8.5 billion on lottery revenue.
The likelihood that you, as an individual, will win is extremely rare. The likelihood that the government will win is absolutely guaranteed, and they earn more for extended contests and larger jackpots.
What we did discover was partial success on individual numbers—123456. For example, partial success is running an individual cycle on each digit. Trying to run a cycle on the number as a whole was pointless.

Laken Riley’s death by an illegal alien was entirely preventable. Absolutely nothing was done to prevent another similar situation from happening again, and now young women are being murdered by migrants all across America. The left has been suppressing these stories, but these women deserve justice.
In Chicago, where only criminals are safe, another young college student was raped by someone who should have never been in America in the first place. Elvis Hernandez-Pernalet of Venezuela followed a young woman home from the UIC campus. This coward attacked her from behind, raped her, robbed her of her jewelry, and fled the scene of the crime. This is the SECOND woman that Hernandez-Pernalet followed home from a train and sexually assaulted. He also has previous charges for robbing a department store. “[He] actually admits to the police that he believed he had killed her and [is] seen attempting to move the victim’s body,” said Hinton. Hernandez-Pernalet ran when he realized a witness saw what was happening.
A Haitian migrant from a country amid a civil war, seeking asylum, has been charged with raping and murdering a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts. Cory Alvarez, 26, was part of Biden’s disastrous program that has been using federal funds to FLY MIGRANTS INTO THE UNITED STATES. The Department of Homeland Security said that flying illegal, unverified migrants into America is a “safe and orderly way to reach the United States.” The government does not care about its own citizens, or anyone for that matter.
Ruby Garcia was a 25-year-old woman from Michigan with her entire life ahead of her. Brandon Ortiz-Vite, an illegal immigrant with an extensive criminal record, admitted to murdering her. He shot her point blank and left her body on the side of a highway. He was deported once in 2020 but managed to re-enter America thanks to Biden’s open border policies. The media is portraying this incident as another casualty of domestic violence.
U.S. Representative Hillary Scholten, a far-left Democrat from Michigan, finally acknowledged that there is a problem. “My heart breaks for Ruby Garcia and her family as they grapple with this unspeakable tragedy. The individual who committed this heinous crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I’m continuing to push for bipartisan immigration reform that both secures our border and makes sure that individuals who come to our country are fully vetted to keep our communities safe,” she stated.
Why are we not protecting American women? Why is the safety of our women a partisan issue?
Migrant women are being assaulted as they wait to cross the border. There is an ongoing open sex trafficking operationhappening at the US-Mexico border that no one wants to discuss. “You have to pay with your body,” one migrant told the NY Times. “They raped us so many times they didn’t see us as human beings anymore,” she explained of her harrowing story where she was locked in a room, drugged, and repeatedly raped. They are also doing this to children. It is to sickening to discuss.
Joe Biden, Border Tzar VP Kamala Harris, and everyone supporting open border policies are directly responsible for this massive human rights abuse. The #MeToo crowd and feminists are silent. They’re OK with the situation so long as the victim can have an abortion after. The left insists that only the conservatives have a problem with millions of undocumented people surging our borders.
COMMENT: Marty, I was cleaning out my office. I get around to once every 31.4 years, and I found your report that was controversial back in 1990 when you were at war against the fundamentalists who were always getting it wrong, as they still do today. I scanned it in and thought you should post this for the newcomers. You invented capital flow analysis, and you may not qualify for a Nobel Peace Prize since you advocate for peace rather than war, but you are in a category all by yourself. Being a trader rather than an academic who was in the trenches rather than in an ivory tower. People need to know that.
See you in London

REPLY: Very interesting. Yes, they always use war to cover up something else. Hitler and Napoleon were trying to resurrect the old Roman Empire over all of Europe. The days of empire building inspired by the Physiocrats that the wealth of a nation was agriculture, so you conquered nation after nation are long gone. Adam Smith wrote his Wealth of Nations to challenge the French Physiocrats and their view that only agriculture was wealth. He argued that it was the total productivity of a nation that constituted its wealth.
Then along came Marx, and the wealth became labor, and he tore apart the economy out of jealousy. He attributed nothing to human imagination, the source of all economic advancement. Communism proved that the government was incompetent in regulating or developing the economy.
Smith was NOT an academic. He went out to observe how everything truly functioned. The socialists hate Smith because they follow Marx and want to force the economy to function the way they think it should. They reject any concept of a business cycle and come up with stupid theories like Random Walks, for that means that they can then manipulate society because it is all just random.
They are now all in a tissy. The government wants to REGULATE AI, and Biden put our illustrious VP in charge. There is a real threat that they will regulate what they do not understand and, in the process, destroy the industry, as they did with investment advice and force people offshore, giving birth to the Hedge Fund Industry.

From the mailroom: …”Given the confluence of events and your foresight in pointing directly to the financial mechanisms now seemingly in the spotlight [BlackRock etc], how would it be if your audience was the only one prepared for what was coming?”…
Me: Like most things in life, when it comes to our protective instinct, I only care about the position of those I love. This small corner of the internet, our community, is the only one that ultimately matters. Convincing is an endless quest, that’s why CTH doesn’t exhaust that energy. The key to preparation is brutally honest information that gives people the opportunity to make decisions.
Many people are noticing the arc of the storyline behind “what is our reality” is starting to shift. The awakening is moving beyond the body politic and into the world actors and institutions who determine political action. This awakening phase needs to continue. It is not coincidental to spend the past two years in the matrix of global finance and the schemes of those who triggered the “western sanctions” against Russia (ultimately having nothing to do with targeting the Russian economy), and then see Tucker Carlson interviewing Ron Paul. WATCH:
Opposition to presidential candidate Donald Trump does not originate from a baseline of domestic ideology, or social stuff. The epicenter of opposition to Donald Trump, all of it, stems from the background understanding “there are trillions at stake.”
The people deep inside the global banking and financial system are the originating opposition to Donald Trump. Controlled Lawfare, purchased politicians (both sides), weaponized institutions of government, the intelligence community, corporate media, big tech, all of it, and all the controlled/purchased people within it… are the weapons in the arsenal of those who control banking and finance; the aforementioned are their army.
Who is the army in opposition to them? YOU, plus the hundreds of millions of global rebels and freedom fighters who will not back down from supporting President Trump.
Right now, the most consequential battle front is in the fields and valleys of information warfare. They deplatform, we rebuild. They demonetize, we subscribe. They label, we ignore. Small tech inside the freedom alliance is feverously creating new weapons; messengers (information content providers) immediately adopt them; users reequip themselves and head back to the front to engage. As history has so eloquently outlined for millennia, there are more of us than them – they just control the institutions.
The awakening continues, and the apoplexy created in the minds of our opposition has caused them to become increasingly visible. Pretenses are being dropped quickly.
2022 – NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) – BlackRock Inc’s (BLK.N) chief executive, Larry Fink, said on Thursday that the Russia-Ukraine war could end up accelerating digital currencies as a tool to settle international transactions, as the conflict upends the globalization drive of the last three decades.
In a letter to the shareholders of the world’s largest asset manager, Fink said the war will push countries to reassess currency dependencies, and that BlackRock was studying digital currencies and stablecoins due to increased client interest.
“A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.
