Wit and Wisdom of old lottery players...Reply
Most of the people you mentioned actually played lottery games though many of them no longer post. When I started posting, I related more to RJ because we both played Ohio Lottery games and we both used wheels and matched 5 out 6 numbers playing the 6/49 lotto. Saw a couple of past discussions about wheels but doubt many people here use them. The $2 PB and MM ticket price and anemic lower prizes is probably why. A recent thread about wheeling evolved into the cooking channel. Most the pick 5

Wit and Wisdom of old lottery players...Reply
RjOH used to have a sig on his posts What happens most is most likely to happen again . I always thought of this two ways. A person playing the lottery is probably going to lose money most of the time chasing the jackpot. And...playing certain strategies (like all even numbers or all odd) or other strategies is not something that happens very often. But....its fun (for me) to do different things even though they probably wont work. Statistics show that QPs win the majority of ja

Right on point...... vox pouli, vox Dei (the voice of the people is the voice of God) There a long record of Casinos,often when big jackpots hit, will clain it was a mechanical glitch, electrical malfunction, etc With how much is on stake, there will be ample sharp attorneys that will be most happy to take the case, pro bono, to the Gambling Control Board and or court or to court on consignment.

Quick Picks - How do you use them?Reply
I usually play quickpicks because I found I actually did better with them. I did a couple of experiments in which I picked a set of numbers and played it for several drawings along with a different quickpick. The quickpicks did better in Louisiana Lotto(6/42), Powerball, and MegaMillions in that they matched more numbers produced more winners than playing the same set of numbers. To make it clear, I didn't win any jackpots, just lower tier prizes, but I did win more with quickpicks. When I look

By using my list of 18 method I've won a ton of Free Tickets. I've won so many, that I couldn't possibly tell you how many I've won. It's in the hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000 over the years I've been playing two different states Pick5 games. (New York and Florida) I dont scoff at winning a Free Ticket. If you look at The Top Prize and Retailers Report on The Florida Lottery's website, you'll see many jackpots have been won with a Free Ticket. It's surprising how frequently it happens.

Quick Picks vs Self Picks, neither has an advantageReply
Calm down. You'll never convince Jack Whittaker (buys a hundred tickets at a deli and wins $300+ million) or the thousands of others who have won jackpots with a QP that they wasted their money. I'd be ecstatic to waste my money like that. So, you either agree anything can happen in a single draw ( ) check here or, You don't agree anything can happen in a single draw ( ) check here For 99.9999% of the people it wouldn't matter if they won with a QP or self-pick numbers.

I stopped buying the combo after the promo ended. For me, the big thing about buying the combo while the promo was in place was that I might get to play for free. When the jackpot got to two million, I started buying five games with the combo each time I played. Because I hit the instant prize two times, I played for free twice. I'm going to keep playing JPT without the combo while the 2 million is still available. Once somebody wins it and the jackpot resets, I won't be playing JPT for a wh

texas two stepReply
Several years ago, when I had the time, I kept charts showing which number was drawn in which position most often (ex: the number 5 in the first position, the number 18 in second position, etc). I did this for 2 Step, Lotto, MM, and PB. Then I would put together a few lines made up of the best numbers for each position. After some time, I realized this is a great system for hitting one or two numbers. Won a few on bucks occasion. Lost a lot more bucks most of the time because hitting one or t

Hi Skeptic, its good to know there's good people out there, respecting elders . I'd take that kind of kindness you shown any day, so much hate in the world these days. You definetly deserve the top jackpot prize or the one below it, maybe they saving them for you by taking the smaller jackpots. I guess you got to live long too so when you get to there age that top prize hits*hopefully sooner though. Did you give up scratching for the day after the 2nd time? I'd probably go to some random pla

Do you really thing the games are rigged?
And therefore is the question. Powerball. Mega-Millions. Those large/r matrix draws kind of speak for themselves. Or should. 1 in 200+ million combinations? 200+ possible combinations. Why the need to rig it? When I worked at a store that sold lottery, I know what ticket sales looked like. For all draws and scratch-offs. Draw games was decent on sales. Only on the PB and MM though. The Cash 5 draw here I might have sold a handful of tickets each night. I do mean a handful. I don't remember a $10
