There's a a Seattle born native named Archie Herring who lost out on winning the lotto top prize by 1 number.

Archibald Herring, A Seattle native, only just missed having half of a jackpot lotto win. He left out just one number. 
In Seattle there's a gentleman who lots of people thought was extremely unfortunate. You see he missed winning the jackpot in a Mega Ball game by only 1 number. The missing Mega Ball number was all that kept Archie from the one hundred and thirty million dollar jackpot. 
That 1 modest ball was to blame for keeping the one hundred and thirty million dollar top prize out of Mr. Herring's grasp.  

Just 1 ball was all it took to reduce Mr. Herring from a jackpot win of one hundred and thirty million dollars to a match five prize. Nevertheless, Mr. Herring is in no way downcast.

Mr. Herring is not frustrated in any way. 
This poor "bad luck" did not result in Archie feeling sorry for himself though. The means by which he played his lottery tickets meant that he still arrived home with a cool one million seven-hundred and 50 thousand dollars! 
You see Archie played smart. He may not have won the jackpot prize but he still came away with a whooping one million seven hundred and 50 thousand dollars in money prizes.  

Even though Mr. Herring did not get the largest win he still got a large win! The way he played his entries in the lotto meant he netted a very healthy one million seven hundred and 50 thousand dollars. Not bad for selecting five numbers! Mr. Herring played a 5 number combination across 10 different tickets giving him much more than merely 1 win.

Even though Herring only picked 5 numbers exactly he was still able to land such a big prize because he used the same 5 numbers on ten distinct entries.  

Because Archie played ten tickets using the same five numbers meant he did not just buy 1 winning ticket but had ten. Using a numerical system Herring was able to ensure ten 2nd place prizes each one worth a staggering one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars each.

He claims to have utilized his own unusual lotto formula to help him choose the correct numbers. This system helped secure him his $1,750,000 win. 
Those 10 entries netted him his incredible $1.75 million because he played the uniform 5 winning numbers on all 10 tickets. 
After paying taxes Herring was given a large $1,312,500 cheque by Washington Lottery's office in Seattle when he accommodatingly submitted his ten winning entries one meek Wednesday afternoon. 
Mr. Herring's ten winning tickets were transferred into a check for one million three hundred and twelve thousand dollar by the lotto office in Washington  - the sum awarded after paying tax deductions.  

Once his tax payments were fulfilled Archie walked away with a one million three hundred and twelve thousand dollar pay-out from the Washington Lottery office. A report issued by the lotto reiterated Archie's sentiment that he would have loved to win the jackpot but that he was more than satisfied with his 10 wins.

Although Mr. Herring says he would have loved to land the top prize and a slice of the $130 million he is properly content with his smaller combined wins. 
In a statement Archie stated that even though he would have enjoyed a top prize win he was more than happy with his newly born status as a millionaire. Well, who wouldn't be? 
Wouldn't you be?  

I would be as well!

I'm sure you would be also. 
I bet just about everybody else would share that sentiment. 
Herring admitted frankly to utilizing a lotto technique to guarantee his ten ticket million dollar win and said that he's been using it to track number sequences in his local lottery so that he can endeavour to foretell the next combination that is due to be drawn.  

Apparently Archie has been using a lottery system in an effort to anticipate the winning numbers for some time now. By trailing winning numbers and particular combinations Mr. Herring says he can choose winning numbers in future draws. It might come as no surprise to some of you that Herring used a comprehensive lottery approach to beat the lottery. By pursuing most recent draws watchfully and plotting the amount of times certain balls and sequences of numbers have been drawn Herring was able to forecast the draw results for his winning week. As a regular lotto participant, playing twice a week, Archie has been confident that he would in the long run gain a big win. Playing the the lotto twice weekly and following his own technique Archie was sure that he would win in due course. The double weekly drawing of the lotto was followed meticulously, and played, by Herring every week. Due to utilising his system it came as no shock to him that he won. His lotto method involves selecting the most likely five number combination that he feels will be drawn and then playing five tickets each one with a different Mega Ball.

The lotto plan used by Mr. Herring involves utilising the matching 5 numbers on all tickets played but selecting a different Mega Ball number for every entry. 
Mr. Herring used a method that involves the same five numbers on all his entries plus a different Mega Ball pick on each entry played. The week that he landed his massive win he had decided to play 10 sequences only because the jackpot in the lotto was so bounteous. 
Usually Mr. Herring plays just 5 entries using this technique. However, as there was a large top prize on offer the week he won Herring decided to play 10 tickets instead of his normal 5. 
For each game Archie usually plays five tickets in this manner. But as there was a roll-over and a potentially huge pay day he decided to play ten entries the week he won. 
The winning week saw Archie play the numbers 10, 23, 28, 39 and 51. In all ten combinations Archie had just missed the Mega Ball number 5.  

Herring used these five numbers on all his entries to win ten match 5 prizes.

Those 5 winning numbers were on all of Archie's entries. That means 10 winning tickets with match 5 balls. Having the Mega Ball number would have given him a large share of the jackpot of $130,000,000 jackpot instead of the hefty $1,750,000 he did receive.  

Missing out on the Mega Ball meant that Archie missed his share of the $130 million jackpot prize. However, his 10 winning tickets netted him a one million seven hundred and 50 thousand dollars in prizes.

If any of his tickets had included the Mega Ball number Archie would have landed himself half the jackpot prize of $130,000,000 top prize but unfortunately he missed out. Having said that his winning tickets still got him a nice one million seven hundred and 50 thousand dollars in combined wins. 
So possibly there is something to be said for using a lotto method and maybe everybody should be considering using one. 
Herring is not the only person to have landed a big win due to the use of a lotto method. 
There are also many other folks who have used the power of arithmetic and methods to win on the draw. 

You can study more about these types of systems at specific sites on the Internet that outlines methods showing how to win the lottery using formulas that have been developed by individuals who claim to have won on the lottery using the exact formulas they talk about and the previously mentioned web site actually mentions a system that has reputedly been used by one hundred and thirty-one individual people to land wins on a variety of lottery draws.

Mr. Herring's good fortune is more than just a streak of fate.  

Is Mr. Herring's win down to fortune or did his method play a part in it? It is tough to deem that Mr. Herring landed his 10 wins strictly by good luck or destiny. Although the chances of correctly guessing 5 numbers and the Mega Ball are one hundred and thirty-five million to 1 Herring still beat incredible odds to precisely guess 5 numbers without the Mega Ball. The official chances of guessing five balls rightly and the Mega Ball on a Mega Ball draw are a atrocious 135 million to 1! If you want to know how likely you are to win on the Mega Ball draw then think about the fact that you have a 1 in 130,000,000 prospect of winning the top prize. With odds of two million six hundred thousand to one against correctly choosing five numbers you may be thinking that Mr. Herring has used up all the good fortune he has. If you want to replicate Archie's achievement in the lotto then you need to beat odds of 2,600,000 to one. Guessing only the five numbers accurately without the Mega Ball still has odds of 2.6 million to 1 against. Not good odds. Still, Herring stands by his belief that good fortune played only a modest role in his bounteous win. With such bad odds against winning one match five prize perhaps Archie did utilize more than mere luck to pick ten match 5 wins! It is straight forward to accept that Mr. Herring had more than fortune on his side when we consider the odds that were against him and also realize that those odds are for just one ticket yet Herring had ten winning tickets. According to of the Washington Lottery no-one in that state draw, nor any others in the United States, has ever had a large win playing the draw Herring's way.

A Washington Lotto representative admitted that never before in lotto history has such a feat been seen. 
According to official lottery draw sources this is the sole time in history that any such win has been recorded. 
The 130 million jackpot was sold in Washington, Ga. 
For those of you who are concerned, the winning top prize was purchased in Washington, Ga for a solitary claim on the jackpot prize of one hundred and thirty million.  

The Lottery Office declared that the winning ticket, winning the whole 130,000,000, was bought in Washington, Ga. A married couple living in the area have stated that they won.
