The MIT blackjack method is actually MIT's professor's

all parts of the world except probably Atlantic City in New Jersey.
Not sure about their lottery method.
Chinese has a lottery method that is not known to MIT communitiy
but only to selected Chinese communities that believes in destiny
and Feng Shui.
$7 per week trying luck to be millionaire is ordinary
Singaporeans' way of keeping their millionaire dreams alive.
At least there are on the average 104 Toto method
millionaires per year and 12 Singapore Sweep method millionaires
per year.
Not many however have the capital to be able to grow to 1
million in a year. Even if you could grow your investment by
300%, you need at least $333,333 cash money.
So $364 per year is the preferred method for poorer
Singaporeans.
Incidentally only 1 in 10 Singaporeans can sustain a business
for more than a few years. Read this from a book written by a
Singaporean entrepreneur ten years ago.
It does not seem to be not true since celebrities like Moses Lim
also closed down his restaurant. You would find out if you
start a business in Singapore that a huge portion of your profit
would go towards rental and you become the slave of the rich
landlord.
