(1) (2) This article is intended to point out flaws in the strategies of "lottery expert" Gail Howard.[1] Gail Howard is a self proclaimed lottery expert who sells books and computer software that claim to give you a better chance of winning the lottery using "smart luck" (using her system) instead of what she calls "dumb luck" (playing other ways, including using quick picks) This information is seemingly impressive at first glance, but under further scrutiny, it is completely useless.
