Maybe, you should stop playing and never play again unless they change the game.

Shake things up for a few rounds, do something different.

Even go so far as doing something that you think is stupid, like getting advice from someone like tiggs or something as equally insane as that.

That's a good strategy TTL.

Hmmm, you apparently picked the wrong numbers, you can't blame the game for that.

Try it again with a Quick Pick and see what happens.

I'm so confident you'll have better luck this time that I'm willing to split the jackpot with you if you win.

I bought an advance play with 20 consecutive drawings (Mega Millions). I picked one set of numbers. I spent 20 bucks and only got 2 bucks back. I have a much better luck with scratch offs.

Number of tickets. My mega millions streak went up to 221 as of last night.

The games seem very streaky to me. I had a period where I won either 3,4,7, or 10 dollars on MM and PB each consecutive drawing for about 2 weeks. It was odd.

I don't have losing streaks. I look at it as, I messed up, and didn't play the winning #.

Are you talking 480 and 216 drawings or sets of numbers?

If you had three sets of numbers that would be 0-3, no?

No matter what game you are playing the most common result is going to be whatever doesn't pay.

Rdgrnr is right, almost evderyone who plays is on a losing streak, but of course it only takes one hit.

If you discount small, inconsequential winnings, over 99.9% of players are on horrendous losing streaks.

But as you can see, most don't like to discuss it, lol.

Which brings to mind an old song by The Animals called Don't Bring Me Down

That was waaaaaaaay before my time though.

Yeah, like Scrabble or Monopoly maybe.

I think that's what I need to do.

Maybe try a new game for awhile, just until you get your groove back.

What is your worst losing streak?

As of right now, I'm 0 for 480 on Powerball and 0 for 216 on Mega Millions. I just can't catch a break lately! lol
