Michigan woman who played Lotto 47 since it launched decades ago wins $1.1 million jackpotReply
Stories like this one, the recent $32.91 million Lotto 47 record just months ago, and the Macomb County guy who stuck with his numbers for 20 years show that persistence can pay off big in this game. Lotto 47's been delivering life-changers since '91. Congrats to her on the $1.1M; it makes you wonder if those faithful twice-weekly plays edge out the odds just a bit through sheer volume. Never give up, indeed, but play smart!

Ohio husband's lottery luck leads to wife's $300,000 winReply
Strange story. He spent 20.00 of his 150.00 for 4 5.00 Cash Words for her and I will go out on a limb here and say he probably was familiar with the game and it's prize structure. She is happy as a clam to get the 4 tickets and scratched them in front of her friends when they were out doing something else that I guess wasn't too exciting. She downloaded the app and was fairly confident she won 300k. She tried calling him to no avail so instead of going home she stayed with her friends which was

What's Your Strategy for Playing a New Draw Game?Reply
if the jackpot rolls over, i wait until the jackpot is big enough to be worth my while. the probability of winning the jackpot is the same for every drawing, nothing special about the very first drawing. scratchers are different because you don't want to play a game where the top prizes have already been picked off. your state's lottery website should publish that info. smart scratchers players check the website often to see which games are still good and which are duds.

What's Your Strategy for Playing a New Draw Game?Reply
With scratchers, I think the rush to buy them comes from the belief that the lotteries front load the first batch with some decent winners because they want people saying Hey, I bought one of those new $30 Gimme Millions scratchers and won $200. I don't know if that's true or not, but it feels like that's what drives early buyers. With the new draw game, they can't front load anything. The odds are fixed and hella steep, so the odds of a big win aren't going to be impacted by early play, IMO

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I think this is the first draw game I've ever heard of that doesn't pay if you only hit the extra ball (Millionaire's Ball in this case). I'll play on Thursday and Sunday when nothing else big is drawing. No way am I playing every day.

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I haven't paid any attention to this game nut I just saw it on the NY lottery's home page for the first time. Obviously everybody gets to decide whether or not they want to play, but here are a couple of thoughts. The first is largely about playing this or playing PB (or MM) when the jackpot is still small. Generally, at least 8 to 10 million people (5 to 7 isn't unusual for Monday drawings) spend $2 when the annuity is $20 to $30 million (even if you die before the drawing) and the cash val
