I'm not gullible either. However, I am just as guarded about becoming a conspiracy theorist. I have a well-developed radar for valid criticism vs. putting on the tin foil hat.

I am also keenly aware of computerized drawing issues. I think you'd have to admit that not only am I aware, but I have built awareness of the issue within the lottery community. I did so as a pioneer in the woods when nobody else was doing it. Present company included.

I have won the Big 4 3 times for about $9,000 so I don't need to quit the lottery entirely. All 3 times were one ticket buys too and my own number. A lot of people think and believe what the lotteries tell them, then eventually see their stunned faces when a conspiracy is exposed. Let's just say I am not as gullible as the majoriy of the population. I have seen plenty of wins on the little games but I have yet to see any real evidence that anyone actually won a jackpot game personally. Like I sa... [ More ]

I did win $1,000 one year in the PA raffle. The chances are very good at winning a million dollars too. This year I didn't win anything but enjoyed

taking a chance on it. Why not? Sure the hope is high before the drawing that your ticket might be the *golden ticket* and after it's over and

you win nothing....you might think darn and feel alittle deflated but it is fun to hope. The next drawing? Sure, I'll buy some tickets too and hope

some more. Will I win? Maybe. Maybe not. Imagine wha... [ More ]

Sounds like you should quit the lottery entirely. I haven't seen many positive posts about the lottery from you, so if it's not entertaining, there's no point.

Raffles are not meant for people who like to win lots of $1 prizes. If you like winning tiny prizes a lot (which is really just losing a little less), then stick to Cash 5 or Powerball, or something like that. However, if you really want to have a better chance at a life-changing jackpot, then raffles are the ticket.

It's amusing th... [ More ]

Yeah 4 millionaires we will never see most likely. As I suspected, the PA Lottery magically sold out 80,000 tickets at the last minute. I got two tickets, one was in the 12,000 and the other the 499,000 range, both losers of course. I was 40 off of the $1,000 and 2 off of the $100. I missed the million by like 3,000 tickets allegedly. I should have followed my instincts and not played. It is supposed to be the best odds at winning a million but you always lose just like the other jackpot games.
