Sitting in the Laboratory today waiting to have my head examined, it dawned on me that I overlooked responding to RJOH's question on which games I play. I live in Fenwick Island area of Delaware which is across the street from Ocean City, MD. I am only a block or to from Power Ball ticket agents and about 3 miles from Mega.Million ticket agents. I therefore, play both BP and MM. No others.

Thanks everyone for the informative responses. I have picked up from you a couple of idean I want to explore.Todd: On that drawing date my first number pool was 40. This is generally consistant because that initial pool ranges from lower 30's to lower 40's. From that 40 group I selected 32 numvbers from my number selection sheet.Please understand that I am not very in to wheels. I have not worked with wheels or studied them enough to make the best use of them.Now on to Segment number 2.The... [ More ]

I don't know which pick5 game you're playing, but I play the Ohio Rolling Cash5 and the odds of having 2 of the winning numbers in one line is 1:10 no matter how you pick your numbers because you're dealing with a pool of 39 numbers. If you wanted similar odds of 3 numbers being in one line, you would have to reduce the pool size to 18 numbers or less and that's a lot of numbers to eliminate without eliminating one of the winning numbers.RJOh

I've used them, and it's helped me tremendously...! especially on the full wheel the filtering is a key asset. If you haven't up-graded, the money verses time, and unlimited possibilities are well worth it. Period...

tracking tracking and more tracking ... track the numbers that come out in your state mix hot and lukewarm numbers in your pool. Don't put numbers that aren't hitting in your pool. in a 5/39 number game put numbers from 9 to 32 in your pool. look at the history and find hot numbers that haven't hit in 7 to 10 days these are the luke warm numbers. Mix them with numbers that hit 2/3 days ago. good luck. If you play/wheel 12 numbers on 10 tickets you might trap the numbers but most likley you get 2... [ More ]

Maddog, good point. On the full wheels, all Gold and Platinum members can access the powerful built-in filtering abilities on the Lottery Post Full Wheels pages. Not sure if you have tried them yet, but might be a nice way to do the filtering and wheeling in one step.

a way that i have eliminated some of my problem that you have , was to expand my number pool , and then filter out the unwanted numbers in a wheel, using a full wheel , or a key wheel that is available here at LP. Give it a try, it might iridicate some of your problems also..... good luck.

All 5 of the drawn numbers were 'hits'. The problem is that only 2 lines had 2 numbers together. This is my current problem, and I suspect that many members can identify with this situation.this does happen to a lot of us. in order for you to get all 5 numbers on the same line you need to have one or two things happen. put al...

Interesting. How large is your number pool within which the five numbers hit

I have read much about what various persons would do if they won a major Jackpot. There is a wide variey of purchases, travels, charities, relatives, etc., etc., etc. This all strikes me as typical cross-representation of all that is American, and that is good, very good!As you all probably know, I have arrived at the time in life that I do not have a lot of' 'IS' to look forward to, but I have a helluva lot of 'was' look back at! I suppose it is appropriate now to recall that after I posted... [ More ]
