I know, I know, counts in horsehsoes (and hand grenades and artillery!) Last week, my wife has a dream and sees 135, we play it straight box, and 253 hits. I bought something today, it was $8.53, so trying to psyche out the Pick 3, I play it as 538 (instead of 853)....735 hits I played a Quick Pick Little Lotto - 4 10 12 20 32 what hits? 13-14-19-21-31 I'm sure there are plenty of similar stories, I just wanted to vent a little. I want to know what it's like to cash a P

bringing up past topics for new membersReply
I voted "yes bring up past topics for new members sometimes." I also think it's ok to "bump" older threads that are not locked IF they are about a topic that would be of interest to newer members ( for example, the "quick pick or your own numbers" poll ). I agree with Todd that it is also important that people use the Search feature to find out what was said before.

What does this say?Reply
Mystified by the mathematics, great play on words! My wife was looking at the board and said there's a lot of information here and a lot of knowledgeable people (and there certainly are), but, where's the justice when people try to apply math and who knows what else to the lottery - only for some lucky bast*** to walk into convenience mart and say, Give me a quick pick and be the one to hit. It just struck me funny that there were over eight times as many topics in Mystical than there

what are the oddsReply
Hmm....suppose both the phone numbers are in the same area code and the first three digits after the area code are irrelevant. Once you received the first phone number, what are the odds of coincidentally receiving a second similar number form someone else... There are 10,000 unique four digit ending sequences just like in the Pick 4 game (0000-9999). The odds of getting two phone numbers with the same ending digits in the same exact order is 1 in 10,000. If all four digits are the same,

Powerball eliminates one 5X's slot...Reply
Jim, Thanks for the info. I was wondering why we don't get the 5x multiplier much anymore. Now I know. I play the Powerball. Every game I have a $3 spending limit. 1 Quick Pick and 1 PowerPlay. I've had folk tell me that I need to focus more on the Powerball game, but my brain won't let me do that. Now I know why. I believe that when it's my time to hit I will. I still like the game though. I can blow $6 each week. Funny thing though I generally win 3 - 4 times each month. I usuall

I hate QP's?Reply
Pick 3 & 4 my own picks Powerball mostly quick picks. too much of a brain buster to track. Once in awhile I will sit and pull numbers from a relaxed brain for plays. Whatever comes to mind.

290--379--680 2595--1943 I think I'm going for a world's record. I haven't ever had a quick pick that fell ( on the day that I got it for).

Lotto South v Lose for LifeReply
Aren't NY lottery tickets 2 for $1.00 or am I wrong on the price? If so that seems a somewhat fair trade off for a lesser percentage payoff. Also do you get to select your own numbers or are they quick pick only? Also isn't the NY lottery part of the state government instead of a stand alone corporation overseen by the state? If so the problem seems with the political system rather than lottery specifically. Frankly I don't see Win for Life lasting as long as Lotto South either alth
