Even a fancy new wrapper for the logic has yet to make a match. Since I am tracking, the amount spent, counting today's week 3 plays comes to $82. (Even a frugal budget of $14 a week adds up!) It would have been $98 save for the $16 won on the Match 6 cycle.

Always have to assume that there will be zero hits. That means any actual win does reduce the year cost. With $16, I am down from an initially projected cost of $728 to $712.

Tracking the rolling out of pocket expense will make it easier to split a pick 3 win into payback + weeks on the state. But if dumb luck is still the most important component, I hope I get a coincidental win on the Pick 5 cycle! Then I can pick up a Macbook pro and get my app running on iOs devices like my iPad as well.
