Since I live in California, going to other states is not an option, as it is hundreds of miles to the closest states (Arizona, Nevada and Oregon). However, when I do go out of state for vacations/family fuctions, I buy lottery tickets for that state's lotto, MM and PB if they have it. I usually go for a months worth of advance plays. I really like when I can buy PB tickets since we don't have them here in California.

NY lotto is boring so i play numbers in CT for Lucky for life and cash 5(better payoff). Wish i was closer to VA. They had a bunch of games to play.

A scary win is anything over $30,000. My biggest win is pathetic but I am still hoping.

I used to go to PA. once a week, but that was back when I lived close to one of the bridges,

and it was not the main reason for the trip.

I quit because I was spending to much $ playing in 2 states and 2 pools @ the same time.

Now no pools and just 1 state.

I drive up to NH every 10 weeks to play their Tri States Megabucks and Hotlotto with sizzler for maximum advance plays. Thats $40 each, a total of $80.

The drive is not too bad. Its about 35 miles which I do leisurely.

I do quick picks. I haven't won anything scary. Yet.

It's been holdin' pretty steady around here at $3.34 a gallon.

No, they don't need an excuse to raise 'em but they'll take advantage of one if they need to.

And a hairycane's as good as any other.

And I expect it'll go up in the next couple days.

Gas prices don't need an excuse to change. Friday when I picked up my MM tickets at the BP station, regular was $3.899/gal and I thought I had missed my chance to fill up at $3.699/gal two days earlier. When I drove by Saturday morning it was $3.519/gal.

You must live in the westernmost part of NY? To go to Ohio and Michigan?

I live just 5 miles from the GWB in northern NJ, and go into NY often enough. But the only NY Quick Draw is up in Rockland County, in Tappan, which is only 10 miles one way from me. When we drove to Virginia in June, I played Delaware, Maryland and VA for the weekend. Didn't win a blessed cent

I don't make it a point to go out of state to play, but if I happen to be in another state and I think of it, I'll buy some tickets. Just last week I was driving through Vermont and New Hampshire and I stopped for some Megabucks and Lucky For Life plays.

It's gettin' bad up there, I'm here to testify.

You cain't hardly get a shot off at a road sign along the highway without somebody breathin' down your neck.

That's why I get a month at a time, so I don't have to deal with it.

I got no time for the nonsense.

I play all my states games, as well as PB and MM's with the same numbers. (besides my QP's)

Always have, always will. Also cross over to the great state of Massachusetts, and do the same with their exciting games.

Your not crazy! lol If you win it will make for a great lotto story!

Look at me, I just got a letter in the mail from the Massachusetts Lottery.

They are the only lottery that allows out of state players, they sent me the forms to fill out

for their MegaBucks Doubler 6/49 game which is at $5,000,000 right now.

Have to purchase adavnce plays by subcription.

26 drawings is $25

52 drawings is $50

Once a month I motivate up to Virginia, as much as I hate too, with a state trooper behind every dadgum bush on the highway. And if you got out of state tags, I guarantee they're gonna find something to give you a ticket for. And they're thicker'n hair on a dog's back right now with Bristol goin' this weekend.

By the way, Ohio Classic Lotto is at $16.3M. OCL has gone as long as almost 2 years without a winner and reached $50.0M.

If it paid more than $2 for a match 3, I might play it more often. Right now the odds of winning a couple of bucks are better playing MegaMillions. I certainly wouldn't drive over a state line to play it, it's bad enough having to drive to town to play it.

I still play it once in a while when I feel lucky. I matched 5of6 for $1500 back in 2002 with Super Lotto which had... [ More ]

Just wondering if I was the only one crazy enough to drive out to Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, then back to New Jersey to play the Pick 6 in all states but with the same numbers. Megamillions and Powerball doesn't matter of course, but the odds on the Pick6, still astronomical, but much better than the MM/PB.

So there's

NJ Pick 6 PA Match 6 Lotto Ohio Classic-Lotto (which is up to like $18mil) and Michigan Classic 47

On average the odds are like 1:13,000,000 for the pick 6's... [ More ]
