Lottery Strategy and Using Vedic Mathematics

I recently came across some notes I had made on my visit to India when doing some research on my book. My notes relate to one particular individual living in Jaipur who was extremely well read. He could not only read Sanskrit, but at least five other languages. My reason to speak to him related to my book research, and in our conversation he had told me that he was able to consistently win the lottery at least every month. Now I did not know what to make of this considering he lived in modest surroundings in a small village. However I later spoke to other people in the village who spoke highly of him. In particular I learnt he frequently gave away money to people in need. He had financed the building of three wells, a school, and had purchased a lot of land, built homes and then rented out at extremely cheap rates.

So I went back to the man wanting to know more about his lottery winning. He explained to me that five years ago he had started to delve into the world of vedic science and vedic mathematics. He told me there were some ancient vedic texts directly related to gambling strategys as there were various gambling games popular in ancient times (Hindu's will recall the story in the Mahabharat where Yudistra loses in a game using dice). The man then described his attempts to apply this knowledge to the lottery and over the course of a few months made visits to the city to buy tickets based on his vedic strategy. A few trial and errors, he started to win more often than he lost. The winnings he told me were not huge but after a few months of winning the small amounts, he built up to a sizeable figure. He was able to show me a metal cupboard full of papers which amounted to his research. I asked if he was worried someone might steal his notes to make a profit. He laughed and said no-one but him would be able to understand his notes. So I asked him how did it all work. He told it was complicated to explain it to someone, which was why he was not able to pass it on to anyone else in the village. He said he could go through his notes but he would have to sift through many many pages of disorganised notes. All he knew was that he had the knowledge in his head and sometimes he would need to go back to his notes as a reminder of some aspects, after which he would decide on the numbers to be played. Well to me it was a nice story but without being able to verify what he told me myself then it would remain that way.
A few months later I received a letter from this man with a few pages of handwritten notes. In his letter he told me he had tried to transcribe some of his notes in order to create a kind of instruction manual on beating the lottery odds. He told me to read his notes and to follow the procedures as described, and play the lottery on a regular basis. His notes were to me quite complicated and I am not a very numerate person and so his notes were left in one of my files and forgotten about. Well having recently come across the notes again I have decided to give them a try- however there are some mathematical aspects I may need some help with, so it may be a few weeks before I can play my first set of numbers.
I may ask all readers of this blog to help and we can then test this vedic mathematics system of winning the lottery.

Perhaps we can all share in this good fortune?!

  1. Hello Sir,
    But where are the notes and if at all you have converted to soft copy please mail me - rameshd468@gmail.com

    1. Hello. I was able to contact a University who put me in touch with a mathematics Professor and I posted the notes to him so he could help me understand what needed to be done to get the numbers generated from the notes. He said some calculations he was not able to do because they made use of some formulae/codes which he was not familiar. They are possibly ancient Sanskrit coding formulae- he suggested that these would require some form of transcription from the original to then be able to create the correct calculations. He said I would need to contact the person who made the notes (or pass his details to him) so the notes could be correctly deciphered.
      I revisited India in April 2012- however the man could not be located at his home. On enquiry I have discovered he had informed people in the village that he was going on a pilgrimage. But then a few months later the local police added him to a missing persons list. So it is not very good news and have no idea if there has been foul play. Can I ask whether you are versed in Sanskrit mathematical codea? As these notes require this knowledge to correctly decipher- I also think possibly that you would need access to original source materials (the vedic texts)? but I do not know what these original sources were.

    2. Hello Can you please send the soft copy of the original texts that you recieved from the man in Jaipur if available to shchandra2106@gmail.com,Thanks for your kind help

    3. Hello. The notes are currently with the Faculty of Mathematics at Cambridge University. A number of researchers there are doing some work with them. Are you versed in mathematical codea and could help? If so I can put you in touch with one of the researchers so you can help them?

    4. Hello,yes i have sound knowledge in mathemematics,can offer any help from my side,also i know few people who are well versed with ancient magthematical calculations but not sure if they can help untill they see the texts.Please mail me the details of connecting with the research persons.Thanks.

    5. I will contact the researchers and pass on your email address details to them. They will respond to you directly. Thanks.

  3. Sharath: the contact person is currently away (xmas/new year holidays). The person will be back in the office later this week after which you should receive contact. I am receiving only an out of office message which has those words.

    2. Hello,yesterday i recieved a mail from a person named martin simmons asking for my University credentials,i wanted to clarify it from you wether it is the same person before sending out my sensitive information.I am asking this since i did not recieve an email from his official id but from a public domain mail id.if you please clarify if he is the same person will send across my credentials.Thanks

    3. This is possible as the research is not an official research project so it may be that official ID are not being used so to seperate these. I also have received contact via non-university email addresses. Martin Simmons is one of the researchers so the name is recognizable. I cannot tell you if you should or should not send personal information. He is conducting the research so it is between you and him. I have simply passed the materials to him and hopefully will get some feedback in a few years.
