Thank you for your understanding.I've been reading various Forums, learning from what I've read and exploring Lottery Post as time permits.I've viewed many of the features of Lottery Post, returning to the Results Section is on my list of Things-To-Do, which is an amazing collection of Lottery Tools.

OK, I understand. Were you not aware about Lottery Post's extensive results section? Check it out, I think you'll like it

My sincerest appologies, their was no malice intended, only the desire to help a fellow lottery player.

Raven,NoCompLotto! is exactly right, and I suspend accounts when people repeatedly try to get around the word censor.Besides, why anyone would direct someone to a web site that does not present the results as quickly as Lottery Post does is beyond me. There are something like 6 or 7 different results views available here on Lottery Post, and if you're not using them there is really nothing more I can do for you. But just because you don't want to use them, don't post your links here. We don't... [ More ]

Good grief ! What would the Oklahomans do if they had to play Powerball

Raven:You should know that if your link was deleted (this happened in at least 2 other forums), you shouldn't try any mind games to get around it. You risk the wrath of (our good buddy) Todd and having yourself kicked off of here for good. The only links you need to be posting on the site are ones that jump around Lottery Post, not off of it.Pick 3 doesn't seem that hard to understand... I knew what a 2-way bet was when I was 7 years old (only because my mom won big one day and she said it was... [ More ]

Need to spread the word about Lottery Post to the Oklahomans. Well teach em how to play. Win or loose. You only need to match 3 numbers from 0 thru 9. Seems like it should not be that hard >LOL

You are 100% correct RJOH People here feel jilted by the new lottery,they keep running these hokie ads on tv that people are laughing at. The people at lottery headquarters need to be more informative about what new games are coming and when they are coming...and how much you might win! Pick 3 players in general are a different breed than mega-powerball-lotto players I think? I think $700,000 in pick 3 sales in 2 weeks ...seems to me alot, imagine when players are offered a chance at 6 figu... [ More ]

jan 14 would be pb's 19 draw if no one hits that would make a nice draw ga had a slow start with pick 3 it took me 5 years to under stand it

RJOh — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 02:01:59 GMT

Unless they are real gamblers, a chance to win $50 playing a box/straight pick3 for $1 isn't attractive to the average potential lottery players if all they have ever read about is a chance to win millions of dollars by buying a $1 MM or PB ticket. The pick3 players are not the casual players that just play when they hear about a big million dollars jackpot, they are the players that enjoy playing every day knowing the best a dollar can get is $500, it takes time to develop this type of followi...

Sure Win:OK doesn't have 50c tickets. The minimum is $1, so you would have to play $2 for a straight box bet.

Sherwin — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 00:40:28 GMT

And I bet a lot of players have been marking 50/50 (straight/box) and marking 50 . That could get ugly when your waiting in line to play and the machine keeps spitting the playslip out.

You'd be amazed how tough some consumers find it Part of it is the old horsetrack parlance - what is a straight or a box or a combo? Texas went to same order and any order and that seemd to help Sounds like SGI did a bangup job of retailer training

Pick 3 really can't be that hard for most people to figure out can it? lol.

It might be tough to know how to play Pick 3 if you've never bought a computerized ticket. But it's not hard to learn.

Some Oklahomans baffled by new Pick 3 lottery game

Lottery Post — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 18:39:00 GMT

A manager of a local convenience store shared his insight on the start-up of the state lottery's scratch-off games versus the Pick 3 game which started earlier this month: People can't figure the Pick 3 out, he said.The state has apparently figured that out. Scratch-offs are no-brainers but the Pick 3 requires you to either choose three numbers or let the computer pick them for you.The Oklahoma Lottery Commission is hoping to remedy that problem with some paid advertising messages with a common...
