Which JP winner best manages the moneyReply
Think about how much you have learned just being on a lottery forum..occasional players are not interested in lottery forums because they don't invest much in playing the lottery to begin with...they see a sign at checkout boasting about the record jp and they say meh i will buy ticket. .i doubt those who play occasionally think about things in the same way the more informed dedicated lottery players do...they just see themselves as rich with an endless supply of money when they win. Those w

How I missed my $260 millionReply
Thank you lejardin for taking time out to read my story and for the good luck wish! I believe Quick Picks are the best shot of hitting a jackpot as most of the winner stories I hear win that way. I've been able to maintain a positive attitude throughout my trials and tribulations! The way I see it you can't reach for your dreams if your hands are busy holding on to the bulls_t!! Good luck to you too hun!!

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
The other one was in Escondido, in San Diego County. NorCal had the majority of the $5 Set For Life winners. green sandal's 25K win was on the single last number match as well, so I suppose it may be easy to over look it by placing it there. One of the $5 LFL jackpot winner stories stated the very first number he scratched was a LIFE symbol. I noticed a trend with the scratch ticket vendor that the CA Lottery uses, you see TWO top prize values on the prize boxes for all losing tick

will ohio and other states follow texas in pick 3 and 4Reply
I say yes. States are starving for money due to the federal budget cuts/debt limit thing. Sequestration they call it? One place where the lotteries earn majority of revenue is the scratch tickets and I suspect there will be fewer winners there. Also games like pick 3 4 which are popular will have multiple draws. Games like MegaMillions, HotLotto, and New Englands Lucky for Life have already seen a matrix change to make it harder to win the jp. I bet state lottery websites will have fewer

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
James, I was reading $1M+ scratchoff winner stories and almost all of them said they hardly ever play. I had a feeling that folks like us pour tens of thousands on these every year; then they just walk in and pick up one and hit the top prize. It din't sound fair to me. Just like the high limit slots in casinos which have $100,$500 denom. per pull lottery should create a $100/$200 scratch off ticket. We would then buy a few instead of a bunch of smaller value tix. Atleast the occasional buyer

Honestly would you really care how much taxes you had to pay??Reply
Very true. And losses incurred playing the lottery are not an itemized tax deduction until you are liable to file lottery winnings for taxation over a specified win amount. And how many years do you have losses and how far back are losses allowed to go? I have seen big winner stories where they have been playing twenty years or better before the big win hits.

Buying More Than 1 Lottery Ticket Does Not Make Economic Sense Regardless Of The Jackpot Amount.Reply
One ticket can absolutely win it...no doubt. Just gotta be very, very lucky that's all. This is what happens when winner stories are published in detail, and, it's good in this particular regard. It let's the players know they need not drop $20 for a shot at it. However, the opposite is also true where some go out and spend lots of money and incidentally win...causing would be players to think they can definitely win on a $100 drop. In the end, it's really just the absolute luck of the draw and

Hey, does anybody reveal their method/system?Reply
99.9% of all people working for years to figure out their lottery systems do not have anything significant to show for it. So I don't think sharing your methods are going to hurt you at all. The best any system can do is get you close. It takes a lot of luck to achieve the rest, and that's where only those with positive energy will get there. So keep it to yourself if you wish; that's your decision. Just know that it is rare for someone with that kind of approach to be as lucky as it takes t

All new lottery shows on TLCReply
These shows are the 'good' winner stories. Not the ones about how the lottery ruined their lives. I read awhile back that although the lotteries don't sponsor such shows, they don't hinder them. So, they tend to be a bit propaganda. Nonetheless, they're fun to watch. Gives you an idea of how people handle winning. For me, I enjoy that part more than seeing what they buy, etc. My question for those who appear on these shows would be 'do you get more requests for donations, etc, after
