LOL! I like giving money away. In my early teens, I would give money away to strangers for nothing, so even if he didn't deserve it, I would give a big tip.

Only if it were a quick pik. Otherwise he doesn't deserve a nickel if you filled out a card. The timing of his fingers on the button won it for you if you asked for a quick pik. If you used a card like you always should he did nothing but run it through the machine which you could have run it through any machine at any time before the drawing. He deserves squat then.

I do but it depends on your age to play that really difficult Lucky For LIfe game. Not for older people at all. I don't believe the prize is good enough for 1-48 + 1-18 lucky ball for a 2.00 bet. 1000.00 a day for life sounds good on paper for someone under 40 maybe. The lump sum option is too low. I see you are opting out of Megabucks because of the 2.00 price unless it gets to 5 million which it rarely will now. I am all in on that one now since they reduced the matrix by 5. I foresee a 1.4m j... [ More ]

Id rather buy lucky for life now that the instate lotto is 3 days a week and $2 a ticket.

I'll play my instate lotto when it hits 5 million and higher ...

Gotta stay disciplined you know what I mean

I hope you play your state lottery also when it is at least over 1 million. It is just unrealistic to expect to hit those big ones ever. Many have done well just playing their states cash 5 game if you approach it with some gusto. You're shooting for the moon and you may regret winning that much in PB and Mega. The 2nd place prizes though are tempting.

Me too, had my PB for tonight - did not win a dime

Got my MM with MP for tomorrow. Onward we go - a day at a time.

Sticking by so far with my new ticket purchase formula: 1 ticket be it powerball or megamillions per every hundred million cash value.

So already have tonite and tomorrow covered for $6: 1 PB w/ pp and 1 MM w/ mp

Congratulation to the winner.

Just as famous painter Bob Ross once said, we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents. The same could be said for one Illinois man who ended up winning a $25,000 a year for life Lucky for Life prize thanks to one such lottery retailer's happy accident.
