Remember I said when they went to two draws a day that it can put a strain on your budget because if you don't play both draws and they draw your number and you didn't play that it would burn you up and make you feel sick inside. Because you just know if you don't play both draws they will surly draw your numbers on that very day you don't play. I remember a while back having to work overtime or do side work to keep enough money so I could play both draws. So you have to set a limit, budget you money and play fewer numbers until you win then pocket some cash put some money away for rainy days and give some to the wife and kids. When I win I split my winning 4 ways. Wife, kids, outstanding bills, lottery. If your going after the coveted top pick 5 prize then just play a few pick 3/4 numbers and concentrate on pick 5.

thanks four4me.in fact when that happened i thought about what you said and i thought to myself that yes you were right about the number hitting midday.

here recently i also had a number hit midday and only played evening.
