July, or Aug. 1972, walked into a grocery store in Ann Arbor, Mich. played 123 and the number came in straight. First time I had ever played the number. Been hooked ever since.

CA Lotto began in 1986. I was only 5 years old when CA Lotto began their first drawing. I've been losing a lot since I turn 18 years old. I played California Super Lotto, California Super Lotto Plus, and Mega Millions for over 6 years total.

It was also the last jackpot to break 300 million. So it's been 3 years so far without even breaking the 300 million barrier. Same year also had the all time record pot of 363 mil. by the Big Game.

Rabbitfoot, if your biggest win was 78 bucks, you are definitely behind the 8 ball!!!I can't ever remember not playing numbers. They've always been a part of my life. I'm in your 30 year ballpark Rabbitfoot.

I play Maryland's classic lotto also but like Bonus match 5 tax free payout on the jackpot prize i play the same set of numbers two times for a 100,000 grand tax free payout if i get lucky enough to win.Classic lotto payout and rollover is two small and should be increased or they should pay the taxes on it also if someone wins.

I've played the Maryland classic lotto for about 10 years. Got interested in Mega Millions, and then Powerball back when MM had that $300 million plus jackpot. Been playing both ever since. I also get a season ticket for Florida lotto anytime I happen to be there or know someone who is going there.

I've been losing a lot since I turn 18 years old. I played California Super Lotto and California Super Lotto Plus for about 6 years total, but only 1 month as a Lottery Post person I've guessed in Mega Millions and Powerball.

I study the pick 3 lottery since sometime during 2003. As to playing, I almost never play yet, I go only for the sure thing, soon soon very soon is coming and coming closer and closer very very soon I hope, so far everything is going O.K. The impossible (lottery wise) is becoming possible little by little and with a lot of help from some lottery programs also, but mostly because I think a lot about pick 3 filters.Yes, I have taken a look at pick 3 filters for about 2 years more or less.But not p...
