Answer Me This...Reply
A mystery?? Nah. Not to me anyway. Not after reading Tokecap's incredibly good post above. (BTW - I think it's the single best post I've ever seen written on The LP, but that's just one man's opinion) Tokecap's post made it very clear to me that we as members of the lottery playing public have zero visibility as to how state lotteries run their businesses behind the scenes. All players can see is the results of the decisions they made. You're located in New York, so I know you're aware

Pick 3 for the next 2 daysReply
Hey Nimrod, since you are going to skip NY for awhile can you do a work up for Florida? I used to live in NY, and played numbers. I wish you were around then as you are so on point. anyway now I live in Florida- your all state set list sometimes hits in Florida-I'm just always a day late and a dollar short. I know you are a busy man, so if you can't I will totally understand. Thanks SRPNY

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Chris, First, good luck to you. Sticking for years with a set of personal or lucky numbers has paid off handsomely for some players, although I've read that players that have won a jackpot playing that way have said It took forever for those numbers to come home! You're 20+ years in so hopefully it won't be long and they'll pop. Personally I've been playing the lottery for over 20 years myself. I've never played a specific set of numbers regularly, but to each his own. I'm a transplant
