still two winners. albeit the same person will be listed in archives if you cash it. the calif pik 5 is flawed in that multiple winners must share the jackpot. mass cash for example pays out 100k 3 times if you have 3 of them every drawing. no splitting...only 35 number field instead of the prohibitive 39...

i only buy tickets once a week on my last day of work,so each time my days off change i change ticket buying days,a few times this has resulted in having 2 tickets w/ the same nos. for the same draw,i hope that makes sense i'm talkin pick 5 here,a 7 days a wk game.funny part is if those nos. came out on that particular day it would appear to the computer that there were 2 winners ,but no 1 pers. has both tickets.

If it takes 10 years with just 153 K, I would say that this is bad news. Now if it were 153 M, it would be good news.

Always play the same numbers...you can buy quick picks too but always have a good set of numbers. One of my friends works at that store and he is such a sweet guy. he;s been coming in for as long as I have lived here ( about 2 years). he works at Bob Baker Cheverlet and doesn't make alot of money, in fact BB started laying off a few months ago due to the decline in car sales. His daughter starts college in August and she didn't have any transportation to get to and from...now she does

by the way a decade is only 10 years, as misstated by previous poster. i don't think i'm a record holder, but i've been playing the same megabucks comb for now 28 straight years without success. only a couple of 4-6 for short money. tons of 3-6 for free ticket or 2.00 (game revamped). yes, i play additional random combo's also but am not discouraged and have vowed to hit it or die trying...

5,7,21,32,33 seems like good numbers to try here on local Mass Cash. Whats good for CA is good for MA

and that all combinations are good when given a chance.
