Most of the time you hear: I played these numbers for years, and the ONE time I didn't play....

Some will only need to wait 30 years, others will have to wait hundreds of thousands of years.

Wow. I'd be so worried about doing something like that because if I forget one time and then bam I'd be devastated lol. Hats off to her. 30 years. She looks happy.

Yes, I like to travel and gamble. Michigan's lottery keeps you guessing. As a matter of fact, I have Michigan Pick4 playslip. You can play up to 60 draws. Since you're going to Ohio, try these two Pick 5 predictions: 17717 and 15808. These predictions can also be played in D.C., FL, GA PA.

That's part of playing the games; time is of the essence. The best advice I can give is: don't live in a state of emergency, play for multiple drawings. If anyone is worried about lottery tickets in a hurricane situation, you're right. It would be stressful.

No, three people spun the big wheel and won quite a bit of money each. Been posted everywhere. Not big money to us LP members by any stretch.

I've already been playing 30 some years. 30 more years puts me in my 90's.

That's the way to do it.

I don't know what the 'experts' say, but though there's no guarantee, I've been alluding to the couple's exact method, in my signature below.

Sorry for this is not on the subject. Did any LP see today's Price is Right? They have the big wheel second set of spins on a popular website to watch it. It is well worth watching IMO.

She looks happy. He looks like he doesn't appreciate having $133 million intruding on his day. ROFLMAO. Adorable looking couple nonetheless.

As for the birthday number issue, I've never heard any expert say that birthday numbers don't win. Even if someone was idiotic enough to say it, who would believe them when all numbers have an equal chance of popping up.

I've heard people say you shouldn't play birthday numbers because chances are you'll end up sharing the lottery with a lot of peopl... [ More ]

Congrats to the winner. I never play any numbers more than 2 times in a row. Am I wrong, but wouldn't it be stressful worrying about whether you played your numbers...in a hurricane, snowstorm, and other life emergencies, etc? I could not do it.

Bleudog101 — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 10:29:58 GMT

I think I found a traveling companion--LOL. Happy to hear of your wins. Will play in Ohio this weekend as well as Indiana and Kentucky. Still have some draws left from Detroit...only thing with their tickets it doesn't have an end date leaving the customer to figure it out. Only state that I've played, and I've played lots of states that does this.

Birthday numbers have won jackpots, this one and the 7 or 800 million dollar jackpot just recently. Wow same numbers for the past 30 years that just shows how hard it is to win but yet she beat all odds.

kingrock1 — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 03:42:11 GMT

Wow! Congrats to you! I have been playing two sets of special numbers not quite that long. 11 years only. Won a 100 dollars, but was not my numbers that won. It was a quick pick i got on my ticket. But i still play them numbers every drawing. 16 bucks a month in hopes of winning. That would be a life changer! Good Luck everyone

I tried it back in 2014, but won nothing. But the first time I took Megabus to Memphis, I won $3,600 on Pick 4. The following weekend I took Megabus to St. Louis and won $1,500. From there I flew to New Jersey and won $560 and won $1,250 in Rhode Island. I left 5D alone and hit the road playing Pick 4.

Sometimes persistence does pay off.

That should read rarely instead of sometimes . I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who can tell stories of numbers being played for decades and not winning anything.

My Fantasy 5 numbers that I have played since the very first draw still have not even paid out over $10 and as of this month it has been over 13 years.

That's about 4750 draws and the odds of winning $100 are somewhere around 3300 to 1.

Anyway, congrats to them at least t... [ More ]

Lottery Post — Thu, 21 Sep 2017 14:21:31 GMT

By Todd Northrop

Sometimes persistence does pay off.

Colorado's biggest lottery jackpot winner in state history says she has played the same five numbers in the lottery every week, without fail, for the past 30 years.

On Wednesday, Grand Junction area resident Judy Finchum claimed a $133.2 million Powerball jackpot, won in the Saturday, Sept. 16 drawing, making her the biggest jackpot winner ever in the state, and only the third Colorado player to win a Powerball jackpot.
