Well I think that after Tuesday's tickets draws I will wait until I get paid in February to play lotto again.  I do not want to run short on cash at the end of the month.  So I will save what little I have and wait until February to start buying tickets again.  My mother came up with an interesting proposition that is play when the jackpots are big for more money.  Like a $10 for mega millions and a $15 ticket for powerball but I said I have tried that in the past and have come up faster broke than anything.  Besides if I play my usual $2 ticket for mega millions and $3 ticket for powerball it is only $50 to play all month long.  So I think that I am going to stick with my strategy and see what happens with it this year.  Plus I still have to buy another months worth of platinum membership to keep my blog going.-weshar75
