It's funny you mention $3000.00
I won that in a similar way, a couple of years ago, In Florida, with the number 984.
I remember the day. It was a sunday afternoon. I was bored and didn't know what to do, except I remembered, I had a system from Steve Player which I bought about four months ago. It gathered dust for those four months, since it looked so much like a graph system from a prior purchase, It didn't warrant a delving into.
I decided to take it out for a spin. At that time 984 never came up even once in the entire history of Florida's p-3 game. I was playing that number for about a month, and only that number for maybe 2 or 3 dollars a day. I gave up playing it, and a week or so later I pull this graph out for a spin. I fill in the past 30 days to see the flow of the numbers, and see that 984 is overdue.
A total of 3 red flags gave it away for me.
1st: I take a serious look at this graph for the very first time in 4 months. Out of the blue!!
2nd: I knew 984 had to come out soon. ( just a gut feeling. It hadn't come out in 14 years, so it could have waited another 2 or 3. But I knew it was the night.)
3rd: Why did I decide to do all this today? And more importantly, 984 was the most overdue number according to the graph, for the past 30 days. Very strange. Just happens I take out a graph, that when filled out, has the overdue set of 984.
The above is just one of many similar things that have occured before in my life and since.
I showed this to my roomate and he was not impressed. Even with all my excitement on this he refused any possibility.
As I was leaving I told him that if he didn't play atleast 1 dollar on this, he would kick himself. He finally gave me a dollar and I was on my way to the store. I wanted to plop down atleast 50 bucks on 984, but chickened out in the end and played 6 bucks straight, and 1 buck for my roomate. He was happy the next day. I was in shock.
They all can't be a coincidence!! Especially if you compound them with a whole bunch of other things that have happened in the past and since. We're talking into the billions to 1 chance.
