I was just wondering if you guys were playing more or less lines w/ or w/o PO since the change. I still play my same 5 lines and an occasional quick pick. trying to focus more on the CT classic lotto.3.2 million ain't bad either. and the odds are better. | | |

I buy the same...one line. The pool at work buys half as many lines now. CAN'T WIN IF YOU'RE NOT IN A DOLLAR AND A DREAM (OR $2)

Less. With a JP this high, I'd be buying 10 or more per drawing if I could get a $1 ticket. With the $2 tickets I'm buying 5 or 6. As soon as this JP is hit my lines will go way down for a couple weeks. | | |

The same. Just one single QP line. I don't play all the time, I'd say every other drawing. | | |

Same per week. But overall, I'd liked to cut it there and not buy an extra ticket on a whim -- like heading to the gas station and grabbing some quarters out of the change jar. Feels strange to scrounge up $2 on a whim. Big picture, less lines but not by much. (Granted, this is all one month into the new pricing. Ask me again if we see two more $300m jackpots.) | | |

The same, one line of my numbers (and don't let me catch you using them, buster!) and one line of QP's. Any small wins I buy more QP's with and I always get Powerplay. . I will not comply. I will never submit. | | |

I actually thought I'd be buying less, but I'm buying more. :-( "Don't be a schmuck, always take the cash." -Coin Toss | | |

I don't think it will really change for me. Last year I had no job and too much time on my hands. This year I have a job and only buy tickets when I got days off or feel like stopping somewhere on my way home. Now that I have money adding $1 per game doesn't bother me too much. I stay varied between PB, MM, and Hoosier Lottery depending on which jackpot is looking good at a particular time. | | |

Save the $5 and spend $20 on powerball every month.You increase your chances by playing less often for more lines.You do not have to play every drawing to win a jackpot. | | |

Save the $5 and spend $20 on powerball every month.You increase your chances by playing less often for more lines.You do not have to play every drawing to win a jackpot. But what if that one Saturday you don't play to save some money, and your regularly played numbers come up? You save a few bucks, but possibly lost millions on the first or second prizes. Don't get me wrong, I'm still in agreement to be more Thrifty.  MONEY is the root of all Easy lifestyle, Volunteerism in community, Instant immunity from poverty, Living & giving large.  | | |
