really feel bad about leaving that last one there and going away with your win on the second to last. If your luck is with the first ticket (000)
I'd stay at that end...Me? I usually don't have luck with 000 and tend to avoid them. With some of the posts here though, it seems that
beginning tickets do pretty good. I used to think that 000 - 010 were bad ones. Maybe it's just my luck isn't with those low numbers.
The early numbers near the front sometimes do very well on the 5 dollar games.............................but those ticket numbers on the 2 dollar and 3 dollar games (especially the 3 dollar games) are hard to recommend.
Win a big one DR; waiting to see the next pic, maybe the million!

Thanks, dr65! Accidentally rated it a 4; at least I didn't hit the 1 - LOL.
I think #7 is the unluckiest number in the whole PA Lottery - got it on MMM ($10) and it lost again. I'm only buying 1 MMM ticket at a time until I win again. It's just never fails to lose. At least BWS is making up for it - $20 per win on the ticket number 15 - 2 wins on the number.

I'll do the same, dr65 - I might get some extra money next week, and if I do, I might test Money Money Money with a lot of tickets - if little or no return, I'm done with the game. I'll stop playing it until my big try.
I got mad that #27 lost on BWS tonight - so I went out and bought BWS #38, Diamonds and Pearls #118, and BlackJack #148. Loser again on BWS, but the D&P and BlackJack both won $20! Sometimes second tries work after all.

I know the feeling, dr65 - hope you have better luck next time! Another $40 day for me - #81 BWS loser, #142 and #143 Treasure losers, #64 BWS $20 winner, #14 Diamonds and Pearls $20 winner. I'm playing for free with my winnings again, which is the best way to play.

Yep, that's how I feel - I limit my out of pocket expenses, but unless I win $100 or something, I try again with my winnings. If I get $100 or more, I put away some of it.
I played my first $20 game - Million Dollar Cash Fever #21 - and lost. Is Extreme Green better?

I'll keep your experiences in mind, dr65. I might try one or two more just to see what happens, but if I lose, I'll go back to all $2, $3, $5, and $10 games until a good $20 game comes out.
Nice day for BWS - #21, #84, #85 all won for a total of $70. Eagles ticket #35 lost, but I finally got a small winner on Eagles #58 last night. Eagles is supposed to be good, but I haven't been lucky with it.

GREAT JOB with the BWS!! WTG!! I see 2 in a row there....84 & 85.
One thing I'll try more often since winning on the 7's ticket is this...
if the ticket is a small winner...like $2, I'll try the next one. I'm working on trying to determine if the next one after a face value ticket is good.
So far, I've found on that on the $1 tickets at 10 or 20 at a time, if there is a FREE ticket, the next one is a $ winner...it could be $1, $2, $4 or
$10. I bought 10 of the Solid Gold tickets and number 125, 126, 127 were each a FREE, FREE and a $10 (2 $5 amounts)
I found a $2 Bankroll ticket - number 000 for a $20 win. I got it out of the machine and the tickets were coming out in descending order...
ticket 001 was $2. I bought 5 of them but when I saw the count was at one left in the machine, I bought the last one too and that one was
the $20 one. Funny, never did like 000 but for certain ones, it might be good.

Hi, dr65 - yes, haven't had two BWS winners in a row for a while. That was neat. Today I was getting my money back or losing on the $10s, but I got a very good Treasure ticket - #78 was a $40 winner! I wonder if the next one also would have been a win.
