Do Lottery Systerms Work

Interview: Houston charter school leader Chris Barbic prepares for new job in ...

A little over a month ago, Gov. Bill Haslam announced his decision to name Chris Barbic as the first superintendent of Tennessee's Achievement School District (ASD).

The ASD, a newly formed district under the Haslam administration, is composed of Tennessee's five lowest performing schools. It includes Chattanooga's Howard Academy of Academics and Technology, and four schools in Memphis. 

When Barbic begins his job on August 1, his task will be to oversee efforts to turn around performance in the school district. He brings along with him a track record of success from Houston, where eleven years ago he founded YES Prep Public Schools , a system designed to prepare low-income students for college and adult life. 

The YES model has been met with phenomenal success. Eleven years since the first school opened its doors, every student has gone on to graduate and pursue higher education. Today the system is comprised of eight campuses, and serves over 4,200 students. Thousands of names are submitted every year for admittance, which is conducted through a lottery system. 

Barbic took the time to speak with Nooga.com about his decision to leave YES and his thoughts on beginning a new job in Tennessee. 

Nooga.com (N): Since starting YES 11 years ago, every student who has been through the program has graduated and gone on to college. That's incredible. What are some of the key lessons you've gained from your success?

Chris Barbic (CB): I've learned how important it is to have a really clear mission and goal with what we're trying to do. At YES, we start in 6th grade. It's a lottery admission system. In the communities that we work in, the neighborhood schools aren't very good, so from the beginning, we try to be clear on what the end goals are. We're singularly focused on our mission, and we try to hire and recruit based upon people who will help our students meet that goal. 

That focus helps create a high performing culture that we can work in. It provides support, and keeps us accountable on the back end as well. We've tried to keep it fairly simple. Also, the fact that we created YES from scratch helped. We were able to create a culture every time we opened a new school. 

That will be something different about this new ASD job, but I think that the fundamental principles we developed for YES will also hold true for what we'll be doing with the ASD.

Do Lotto Systems really Work? | Lotto Calculator

There are many, many people in the world who wish to be wealthy and can only see that goal materialising through the aid of a large lottery win. Well for those people who dream of picking that winning ticket, which leads to riches, there are many different lottery systems. It is not a challenge to find a lotto system or lottery software. The problem lies in trying to find a piece of software or mathematical system that will actually work.

It is natural for anyone to think that it is almost impossible to find a lottery system that works because such a system would be kept secret and used by its creator to get very, very rich. Sceptics will say that many wealthy people who sell lottery systems and lottery software have just made their money through selling their products and not through using them.

Do not just trust blindly in the person selling to you. You should make sure you know a little of their background. Be sure that the man or woman who invented the lotto system that you are interested in has used it themselves to win the lottery and preferably has done so more than once or shown at least one other person how to do it!

Most people are sceptical of lottery systems (and rightly so) but for the wrong reasons. They believe, falsely, that lotto is just a game of luck and chance. Because you are reading this you know, at least intuitively, that the lottery is not a game of chance.

It may be that unconsciously you realise that because numbers are involved in every lotto draw that mathematics can be used to increase your chances of winning.

You can use mathematical formulas to improve your chances of winning the lottery because it uses numbers and relies on the laws of probability. You can increase your chances of beating the lottery!

The lotto is not just about blind luck. It is not just a simple game of chance. Playing the lotto is about playing the game of probabilities not chance. And, probabilities can be used to your advantage.

Lottery systems or lottery software that work are those that use mathematical formulas (whether you understand them or not) to help you choose numbers that will greatly increase the probability of you winning.
