"I'm
the kind of gal who believes most lottery systems are a scam.
What makes Ken Silver's lotto system any different...?"

Re: Should I get a refund for the Silver Lotto System?
Hi everyone,
I want to get something straight before we begin.
I don't believe anything on the net unless I see proof.
Lottery systems especially make me annoyed.
Everyone knows that lotto numbers are random. So how come we all buy these systems that promise to give us the winning numbers? And do they really help us win or are they outright scams?
A month back I was complaining to my husband Bruce about it, and he finally exploded. Instead of grouching to me all the time, he said, why don't you test it out yourself. He went on to say that I should buy one of these lotto systems and try it out.
If it
didn't work and was a scam, he said, then he would finally be able to
stop listening to my complaints.
"I just HAD to buy after this happy coincidence..."
That Saturday night my best friend rang me and announced that her daughter had just won a lotto prize. It was about $500, and her daughter was going to hold a party to celebrate.
She used a lotto system she had bought off the internet from some guy called Ken Silver. What a coincidence! So I had to buy that system, didn't I? Call it fate or something.
So I looked
up the website - http://www.silverlotto.com.
Here's a pretty picture of the program I swiped from the web site. It's an ebook, not a real book, but the website does sell you a printed copy if you want it.
My first question to my friend's daughter was this:-how many lotto wins has she gotten from the system? Turns out she had only bought it the week before.
Was her win a happy fluke? This result doesn't really prove that this lottery system works.
I kept
reading through Ken Silver's lotto web page, and quite frankly I had
some doubts. Sure, it looked good enough, and there seem to be hundreds
of lotto winner testimonials...
"But you can make that testimonial stuff up, can't you?"
OK, some of those testimonials had photos and email addresses (blocked), so maybe they were genuine after all.
Without any proof I wasn't really a big fan of either Ken Silver or his lotto system so far, but my hubby was waiting to get some results after he heard about my friend's daughter and her win.
So I had to carry my idea through and test this lotto system.
First thing that happened when I clicked on the order link was that another page opened. This second page said the lotto program was only available to 60 people at this price, and already 30 of those had bought it. Oh, right.
"The price was too cheap for a quality item."
Then the price... it was only 40 bucks. Nothing meant to be this good could be this cheap. Warning bells were going off. So I thought I'd be clever and check out if this cutprice offer was real. At the bottom of the page was a link that said something like "click here if the order link is sold out."
I clicked it, and sure enough it went through to an order form selling it for the full price of $97.
OK, maybe this all could be genuine. (I found something else out about the offer which I'll tell you later on this page).
There was also a year's guarantee, and since it was selling through ClickBank I felt comfortable about ordering and getting my money back in 60 days if it didn't work, so I went through the cheap price link. I downloaded the lotto book easily enough from the PDF file, and a couple of seconds later I could open and start reading it on screen.
There's only about 50 pages, but a lot of those pages are for different number games, so I only had to read about 20 pages to get set up for my 649. Makes a change from all the other ebooks that take you hours to get through!
So I selected my lotto game, and read through the instructions for it, no problems. While there seem to be quite a few numbers to do, it was explained step-by-step pretty well. There were some pictures for each step, so it was easy really.
It took
about half an hour to do the numbers, the time Ken said it would take.
Another tick in his box I guess.
"The secret I shouldn't really reveal - Ken might shut us down..."
I don't know whether I can tell you this, and I might get slammed for disclosing copyright of the lotto system, but I'll tell you anyway and see what happens later.
The system works by setting out a selection of certain numbers on the lotto tickets, and never changing them. This has to be a good idea because you don't have to go filling out new tickets every week.
At least, it would be a good idea if the system worked. We'll see.
The next step was to buy the lotto tickets. The system told me I had a choice of spending a little, or lots of money. I went about midway and spent $20. I managed to raid hubby's pockets for that amount, since it was him who wanted me to do the test.
The day after the draw I went back to my lotto shop and got them to check my tickets.
You
wouldn't believe it. I won $36! After all the lottery tickets I
had bought for years and years and only got a free ticket or a $5 prize.
Then this. So I guess this was a pretty good result. But...
"One win doesn't prove a thing!"
This one prize could have been a coincidence and so I needed to check more than that. I figured as long as I was winning more money than I was putting in, it would be a cheap way of testing the lotto system.
The next game was midweek. I played the same amount and you can imagine my surprise when I won again... just $18 this time. I actually felt quite good going back to the shop because the lotto guy remembered me from last week. He told me that not many people win twice in a row.
The following
Saturday I decided to do a little spending. I played $60 this time,
more than I've ever bought on lotto ever. I couldn't wait for the lotto
shop to work out my tickets, so I spent 20 minutes working them out
after the results came through on the live draw.
"You could've knocked me down with a feather. I won a whopping $232.00!"
By now I was hooked. This lotto test had turned into a big profit for me, and even my husband was starting to take notice. But being the conservative kind of guy that he is, he kept on insisting that I play for three months to really check whether it was luck or the system.
Here's the results from my three-month lotto test. Take a special look at week 8:
Week 1
- spent $40 - won $54
Week 2 - spent $60 - won $232 (my tickets were free from this point!)
Week 3 - spent $30 - won $128
Week 4 - spent $30 - won $12
Week 5 - spent $30 - won $10
Week 6 - spent $30 - won $46
Week 7 - spent $60 - won $612
Week 8 - spent $20 - won $3,300
Week 9 - spent $30 - won $85
Week 10 - spent $60 - won $5
Week 11 - spent $20 - won $210
Week 12 - spent $60 - won $126
So altogether I had spent $460 over 3 months, and won $4,120. The good part was that after the second week I was able to pay for my lotto tickets entirely from winnings - so it didn't cost me a cent after week 2.
In conclusion...
"Ken Silver's lotto system works after all, despite me not wanting to believe it."
And about that order page that I thought was a scam, my hubby checked it out with some web page that shows a history of previous versions. (He built this website and knows a bit about the net). Hubby found indeed that the low offer price of $39.95 had increased quite a few times, and gone down too, but not below the price I bought it at.
But since this price was the lowest, I got a true bargain at $39.95. It all seemed to be true enough as Ken Silver had said.
Hubby's Comment:
When Cheryl decided to test this Silver lotto system out, I wasn't very encouraging to her. Like most people I don't believe that any system can select the winning numbers for you. But I have to admit that after a few weeks, with Courtney and Cheryl both winning, I changed my mind. At the end of her test I have to admit that the results were better than anything I'd ever seen before.
So I decided to look up Ken Silver and find out more about him. I found out the following things:
1. His web site is at www.silverlotto.com.
2. He also has a lotto blog at http://honest-lotto.blogspot.com/. When I counted the number of posts he had made, it seemed very high at over 850 since December 2005. I checked back through quite a few posts at random and discovered they were full of quite good information - not filler stuff as you would expect from this kind of operation. I also found out a lot more about Ken Silver personally from his blog. Seems he began his system back in 1990.
3. He is some kind of expert in internet marketing. He started selling on the net in 1995, and has written a couple of books. A friend of mine bought one of his books a few years back through Ken Evoy who started the "Make Your Site Sell" web site, and he was very impressed with it. I think the title was "E-book Secrets". Ken Silver also wrote a self publishing book here: http://www.homepublishingsecrets.com/
4. When I looked up "Ken Silver" on the search engines I found a few sites that called his system a scam. However when I checked them out they seem to be either written by kids, or were obviously inaccurate. He generally seems to be well-respected.
5. He also has a forum at http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/11488. While it's got a large number of posts over quite a few years, it doesn't seem to be that active now. He hasn't posted for a few weeks, but others have.
All this information is just to let people know what I've discovered
about Ken Silver's background. You have to make up your own mind, but
for me the lotto results were remarkable. I don't know how he does it,
but I know I like the money he got us :-)
Happy ending : Cheryl and I keep winning and are now affiliates for Ken Silver's lotto system. You can get the Silver Lotto system through our link here: http://www.silverlotto.com/cb.htm
