do you ever buy lottery based on having a lucky feeling or a good instinct that you'll win something?

I had a sense a few times to get scatch offs, 1 time i bought 2 $1.00 tickets and won $40.00 and another time got 10 $1.00 tickets and won $500.00 also another time sensed to get 4 $1.00 tickets and won $100.00. of course over a few months and different scratcher games. I win alittle on scratchers. That's a cute story about your daughter and mcdonalds (lol) my nephew tends to be the same way at times

I feel lucky every time I buy a ticket.
I'll buy the oddball scratch or non-usual online game once in a while to liven things up a bit.
There's always that chance I might win something, but I have to buy it if I'm going to have a chance at all.
It's fun, but not something I do a lot of. Didn't Vote, huh?

Approximately once a year, I will purchase a scratch -- just to test my luck. I am not as lucky as some of the posters here.
However, at our Albertson's grocery store in Albuquerque, a young man played a $20.00 scratch off and won $100,000. He was going to his car in the parking lot, scratched his ticket, and he almost passed out.
Finally, I just stick to POWERBALL (with powerplay, of course) and hope for the best. -- Bye, bye! When you win, may you glow as brightly as the

Yes and no.
I'm not what I consider a "naturally" lucky person. But I do have some good luck at times, that's why I play. BUT, a month or so ago, I just happened to go into a store and won $15 off a $1 scratcher, then I started going out of my way to play there, I seem to always win there-so thats where I play when I do feel lucky. The weird thing? That store is 3 cities away. There are many 7-11 and Arco's between here and there, not to mention mom an pop liquor stores, where there always seems to be winning copies pasted on the counter, but I seem to win at that tiny mini mart.
On the flip side, I actually had a dream of a "pick 3" set of numbers. Now, i don't play "pick 3" so of course I didn't play It, but I did check the numbers. You guessed it, they hit the following night!
I did have yet another dream of pick 3, and of course I thought I wouldn't miss my chance this time and played them, well those numbers have NOT hit. But I won't continue to play pick 3. I spend enough money on the regular lotto and the $5 scratcher I am playing til the end of March.

I always feel lucky when I buy tickets but I'm starting to think I shouldn't trust my feelings.
The other day I made out tickets for Rolling Cash5 and didn't feel lucky, so I didn't play. Later after the drawing, I checked my numbers hoping I had saved $10 by not playing and found I would have matched four for $300. The best I had ever done when I felt lucky was to match 3 for $10 to break even. What happens most is most likely to happen again

I don't normally play scratch offs. That's my hubby's thing. But, one night we had my oldest daughter with us when I went to buy lotto tickets for MM. I didn't feel so much lucky for me as I did for her. So I gave her a few dollars to pick some scratch offs and we both scratched them off. She won 10 dollars and I won 2. (If you knew how bad I am at scratch offs, you would know that was a big deal for me to get 2 bucks. And an even bigger deal for her to have won at anything at all that isn't academic!) I kept some of the money that I got back from cashing them in and have been winning on MM and PB and what I call "penny scratchers" since. We continued to win that particular night for about an hour just on scratch offs. I am still holding some of the money from the win of that night, keeping the good feeling with me. -"I can resist everything but temptation"- Oscar Wilde -"I believe in dragons, fairies, good men and other mythical creatures!" - Anon

I feel the same way. Most of the time when I feel lucky, I end up not winning anything.  Veni, Vidi, Bibi: "I came, I saw, I drank."

Almost every night when I put in my Pick-3 numbers for the evening, I also play 1 number that I just feel good about, one that has nothing to do with any system I may be playing, and has no logical "reason" for coming out. So far, in the last 2 years I think I have hit "once" on my "lucky number of the day", LOL. So much for luck.......
