I like manipulating numbers and working out the strategies.. It tickles me pink to see the digits I play fall. The money is great too..One thing that has enlightened me the most is that my hubby was totally against the number game.. He says the money is with his ballgames.. Well he does well there.. but here lately he hasn't been able to keep up with me..I have set a limit on the time I spend on picking numbers.. He is all the time asking.. Why aren't you doing your number thing.. He wants me... [ More ]

Fast Eddie...I'm like a horse player. I get a thrill out of picking the winning number. I just enjoy playing Pick 3. Playing the numbers have been in my family ever since I was a little girl. It's a way of life. My cousin have hit for 20 bucks straight on 124, and my greatest hit was for 5 bucks straight on 308. I consider the numbers my hobby. I just love to figure out what's going to fall.

Fast Eddie , I like playing the pick 3 lottery simply because I have 2 chances a day to get a win . Also , the tax issue as Four4me mentioned. I can win 599 without worrying about the tax man standing there with his or her hand out. In pick 3 you have a chance , in pick 6 you have a snowball chance in hell in getting even a small win. I have used winnings to buy tires for my car , pay a bill or two or just go out to a nice place to eat once in a while. Can't say I have won all the time, there's... [ More ]

I figure I have a better chance of winning pick 3 by playing doubles that regularly come out since doubles appear to come out around 18 times a month between both midday and evening draw.

I'm like you onenumber, I like playing doubles. I usually look at the year and play the doubles that have been out the most and pick out one and put more money on it. If it comes out I'll rotate to another number on my list. I also play the pick 4 but most my money goes to pick 3. The tax issue also helps kep me with pick 3. I've done workouts on pick 4 and had winners but never played them. I only play 3 numbers on pick 4 and in the past 10 years of me playing pick 4, I've only hit the pick 4 s... [ More ]

FastEddie,I like playing pick three. I do a lot of studying and research and have some success. I like playing doubles (I know you hate doubles) because you spend less and you could win more if you combo the numbers. The one thing I hate about the pick three is spending time studying numbers and then they will repeat a number. That burns me up because I have just wasted my money and time.

actually the money maker for all states is scratch offs.I like pick 3 because if you are lucky enought to find the winning number and play it for 5/10/20 bucks individual tickets that you can forgo the tax issue. i think it's harder to win pick 3 because you have seven numbers to choose from after the last draw if you de select those numbers that hit. wherein as you only have six numbers to choose from in pick 4 that haven't hit in the last draw. pick 4 has the better payout for sure but has a t...

Pick Three, why you like it & dislike it

fast eddie — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 16:44:56 GMT

I was looking to get people's opinions on why they like and/or dislike Pick Three. First let me start by saying I do play pick three. What I don't like it about it is the fact that you feel like you can beat the game, or atleast I do. An I don't mean all the time I just mean hitting a straight is not impossible and a box win is fairly easy. As where with Pick Four and jackpot games I have little expectations even though I do research. But Pick Three really draws you in beacause you get a taste o... [ More ]
