Would you be willing to never play the lottery again if you could have back everything you ever put in?
Just curious how many would walk away, or still wait for lady luck?

No since I have put no more than $2,000-$3,000/yr in it over the last 30 years and winning a jackpot would cover that many times over.

I'd have to live quite a few lifeteims to have put that much into the lottery to consider making such deal.

Besides, I don't think any real player could keep their end of such a bargain.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

All ready many of the players who vowed to never play PB again after its price increase changed their minds.

yeah why not, there's still keno and scratchers.

" Still swinging, still missing "
2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016 = -1171; 2017 = -1257 ; 2018 = - 1380 = TOT = - 6233

keno historic = -2291 ; 2015= -603; 2016= -424; 2017 =-427; 2018= -223 TOT = -3968

Heck no....If you had of asked me about stock investments maybe LoL, but the money Ive put into trying to win a lottery jackpot is completely no where near what I could win with a huge jackpot...or even the base jackpot

No. Considering I only play when the cash value (not advertised annuity) exceeds $100 million. I have spent on average $30-$50 per year for the past decade so it's a non factor.

NO WAY!!! There's no telling when I might come up with the method that gives me guarenteed hits every week.

When playing the lottery the one thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend?

That would be like looking at the fork in the road and asking " Do l go left or right?" Do l take the Red or Green pill?
Ultimately living with regrets is not living at all. Play the game, win or lose- its the thrill of the hunt.

Na, I enjoy it.

I only buy 2 lines when the JP is over a big amount now and I haven't played that long only about 2 years or so.

I used to buy 5 lines but I decided if I want to play long term that's a bit much.

£2.50 and a dream!
