Since Wisconsin switched to computerized drawings, for the short term I might go with a filtered quick pick approach. Instead of picking individual numbers I am just going to play filtered combinations. As far as what numbers to play. I use Lotto Pro and as a general rule I throw out the bottom six numbers on the Number Statistics Chart and also throw out the due numbers if I believe none of those are going to hit. Then decide whether or not to play any prior numbers and possibly throw those out... [ More ]

i may go back to playing pick 3 and pick 4, but otherwise nothing different.

Doing more research, also may give a spin....bigger payouts than ANY STATES..but you still have to win

I'm going to try to put all my winnings away for the year. Especially little wins, I usually recycle those $40 and a $80 box wins but If I put um away for the year I'll have a nice chuck of change at years end. Also I purchased a Lotto subscription for the year, this way I'm in on every drawing and just have to wait for my winning check in the mail.

next year I am going to save all my loosing tickets from Jan 1 - Dec 31. I am also going to cut back on the amount of plays per game no matter how high the jackpot is......$10 per draw will be my new max ($5my picks $5quick picks).

What are you going to do different in 05'

Was wondering with the New Year fast approaching what you might do different for 2005 in regard to playing the lottery. Maybe give up a certain game, change your betting habits, maybe save all winnings, and stuff like that... Just curious if anyone has any thoughts.
