I play every draw, but only because I was foolish to choose a couple sets of numbers a few years ago.

If I don't play every time, I'll end up like option #6.

I don't want to see my #'s hit and me not have them... thus have to play every time...

Money won is twice as good as money earned!

I know what you mean and that's why I stopped playing "my numbers". With QPs there are no numbers to look at to see how we "would have done".

Good idea!  However, after 14 years I can't forget my numbers!  I've done thisBang Head  but I still remember them anyway.

I play my numbers on and off.  Sometimes they have hit for smaller prizes....but I have saved more money than I would have won by not playing them every draw.

I play every MM, but don't have any of my own numbers. It's quick pick all the way...unless I go out for Chinese on MM draw day and get a good looking number (whatever that means).  The bigger the pot, the more numbers I play, although the most I have ever played was 10.  It doesn't happen often.

I play fantasy 5 and lotto 47 when the jackpot hits a certain amount, otherwise I skip.

yeah i play min entry in every draw avail to me. if theres a really big jackpot i might buy another few $'s worth of games. but if i accidently miss entering a draw i get really nervous. because i feel thata the time my numbers will come up. lik eits almost a certainty

i look at all lotteries as a  50-50  chance,

either i win or i don't

With me the answer would be "yes and no." 

I run a lottery pool at my job, and we play every Powerball and Lotto drawing.  If we win anything short of a jackpot, I poll the membership and we decide how to spend the money.  The last few times, we bought extra tickets and when Louisiana was doing the Millionaire Raffle, we bought one of those as a group.

On my own, I play Lotto and Easy 5 with Easy Match every drawing(2 per week).  For Powerball though, I only play that one for myself when the jackpot gets above $100 million.  I thought I was going to playing this weekend, but that didn't happen since the $85 million ticket was sold in Oklahoma.

Not sure how I should have voted.
