I play pick 3 and pick 4 daily in the va lottery but I'm in a major slump. I haven't hit any numbers since the beginning of June. I used different systems on lottery post and some quick pick generators and none of them seem to work. I'm wondering is it time to quit or keep trying?

Basically the times I've quit have to do with my satisfaction levels. And other times have to do with money. Lotto is fun and all but it boils down to whether you win or not. So if you're spending money that you feel would help you better elsewhere with other things, I'd say now. But I see no harm in a 5-10 budget daily. Honestly I don't.

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

You could try VA Cash 5--get 4 quick picks for a dollar.

I spend at least 5 dollars a day on numbers hoping to get at least something back in return some part of the week

I stopped playing my Match 4 game after my big $50K win last year and that night i got 2 set of number come to me in a dream.. It took a while and i figured it out those 2 set of numbers will not show up until next year 2018.. So far no one on WA State has beaten my record for a single draw.

I have a simple rule: If playing the lottery is making you unhappy, quit playing. It's extremely rare for anybody to make any money at P3 or P4 over time. Early this year, I back-tested every system I have. By coincidence, I ran this back-test on the Virginia numbers (I see you're from Virginia, too) and none of them would have made money over time. The only reason to play is if you really enjoy it. Otherwise, quit! If you find that you can't quit and you're not enjoying playing, something is very wrong and you should seek help right away. I'm not joking or exaggerating. The official VA Lottery site has a page devoted to this which has lots of information and links to help.

Another simple rule is, if you don't play your numbers a specific week, don't check the results.

Return of Lotto Investment, ROI: ROI 2020: 31% | 2019: 39% | 2018 50% | 2017 47% | 2016 12,6% | 2015 20% | 2014 20%

Return of Stock market investment: 144% (2017-2021)

Take a break. For me, in the past I always did better from the fall to the spring, and couldn't hit hardly at all in the summer. Why? Who knows. I didn't do anything different, but that was just how it was.

List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.

Depends on why you play. If you consider your playing a business investment then quit but if it's only entertainment then continue.

Then if I were you I'd focus on just a few. That way if they do come you won't be jumping around and miss it wouldn't you think. Special numbers still count for something. Personal numbers you know. Remember playing more numbers doesn't add favor to your odds, it just mixes them up a little. Only one number can be picked at a time. Eggs and all that. Good luck!

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Do you get a different set of numbers every day? Try playing your numbers for more than one draw.
