My little twist in playing the lotteryReply
I totally agree with the above. You have to spend what is reasonable to you. I myself plan of playing 13 states tonight with a max of 11 numbers total for a max total of 35.75.Though I am thinking of decreasing those bets down even further to cover all highs or all lows vs all evens or odds.You don't have to spend a bundle to play. And if you're not cheap (like me) you can do pretty good.BTW: I hit the 677 straight for a quarter= 225.00

Michigan 12/24 Midday
Pure numbers (all even or all odd digits) are due. Here are the 10 Odds and the 10 Evens without doubles. If you have a favorite number that is a double and a pure number (like 911), you might want to play it! Odd Even 135 024 137 026 139 028 157 046 159 048 179 068 357 246 359 248 379 268 579 468

Does anyone have a lottery credo, rules?Reply
hummm...Lottery Rules...1) Pray (oh wait...can't do that..church opposes the lottery)1) Whine (who too???...odds are, the guy next to you doesn't know either)1) Drink (blurry or not...the wrong numbers are still the wrong numbers)1) Whimper (if ya like having the store clerk other patrons laugh at ya)1) Spend every $1 in your pocket and complain about how the lottery is messing with you cause it keeps making you miss by just one number (oh wait...I am doing that already and it doesnt work eith

1. Never spend more than you can afford to lose because odds are you will.2. Never play combinations of 5 or larger that have already hit.3. Never play somebody elses lucky numbers if they aren't numbers you would play any way. 4. Find a new location to play when the clerk says don't forget me if we win tonight .RJOh.

Texas 12/23 MiddayReply
Thanks C-Dude,I am aware of the 1000:1, but was just wondering: if a set of numbers (ie 999) hasn't hit in 11 years and 2 months and ALL of the other combinations have....what category does that fall under? wouldn't be Odds, because they remain the same, no matter what (I guess). Statistics? or what?Thanks for you input.MollyG

I've no objection. The odds of having all five numbers within 12 selections are 1:3,623, a significant improvement from matching five out of ten.

Texas 12/23 MiddayReply
Every number has the same odds (1000:1), so it has the same chance of showing as does 146!But, a pure number is due and I have to pick a number to play. I picked the number 9, so the 9 with pure odd digits was my pick for this draw. This is my If...If...Win! method. So, in this case IF the number 9 hits, and IF the number is a pure number...we WIN!I hope you get a winner.
