 Yes that is a frustrating tease.

With the NEW Promo for Take 5 I am playing my normal numbers for a couple of nights at a time to 'get' the promo. 

Got 3 of 5 on the promo numbers last night 

figures I hit on the QP's - LOL

Also playing my NASCAR #s this week of 8, 11, 16, 17, 29

I bought the Take5 promotion today, but I dont know why I bothered.

It's not because I got eight lousy QP lines. I did some player pix, and also some partial QP's.  Maybe it's because I havent won any cash for quite a while.  I was averaging one line with 3 numbers in it per month, but I cant remember the last time I won with 3 numbers.

Maybe it's because winning a JP with Take5 wont make you rich. Besides that, there's very few single JP winners. Most days it's two or three people splitting the JP.  So I dunno. 

Unlike most people, I started playing PB when the price went up to 2 bucks per line, but only when the JP got big.  Now it's 60 at million, so I doubt I'll play until it gets well over 100 million.  I might play Mega tomorrow because it's at 160 million. I even played a 10 dollar scratch off recently. (To me, that's a high priced scratch off. I mostly buy $2 and $5  scratch off's, and I didnt do that very often.  I'm not much of a scratch off fan.) 

A guy at work told me I dont spend enough per week on the lottery. So asked him how much per week did he spend on lottery tickets. His answer; "30 bucks."  So I then I asked him how much of that did he get back. "Not much."  I'm not real sure how much I spend per week on tickets because it varies from week to week.  It depends on where I am, and if I have a few extra bucks in my pocket.  And I dont keep track of how much I spend.  My paydays are every other Friday, so every other week, when I'm not flush with cash, I dont play much at all.

How do some of you folks play Take5?  I'm not asking how much you spend.  Do you play Take5 every day?

I have 2 sets of 5 numbers that I TRY to play most every day... I miss or forget to play sometimes days at a time.  When I hit in the 3-way I play a few more lines.  I added the Nascar numbers but I only seem to play those on Fridays & Saturdays which is when I remember to or am thinking more about Nascar - LOL!

WOW - Guess people like to play the 9's in Take 5 - never seen THIS many winners

WOW is right.

I did see that happen before, I think it was last week or the week before.  I wonder what the numbers were then.  I will see I can find the payout info for that day. 

Of course they are all NYC areas.  That area in Kings county seems to hit everything.

EDIT:  Found it, it wasn't 9 people like I thought,  just 8 :).

Good luck everyone.

Wow that is even worse than the one I posted - How did I miss that one?????

Kings County is also known as The Borrough of Brooklyn!

I dunno what the population of Brooklyn is, but I'm sure it's in the millions, and I believe Brooklyn is the most populated borrough of NYC.  It's no wonder there are a lot of JP winners in Kings County.

I know this is a Take5 forum, but last night I played PB and had the PB!  Because I bought the Power Play, my $4 prize turned into a whoppin' 12 bucks!  'Bout time I won sumthin'..........

Congrats on your  PB win.  Every little bit helps.

According to the NY lottery, about 70% of their sales are in NYC, which explains why all the winners are down there.

When it finally shows a winner in Albany County, it better be me :)
