If you study your state's cash 5, you'll notice that approx. 85% of the time, the lowest number is 10 or below. That's the case here in florida. So I just write a list of 1 to 10, vertically on a sheet of paper, and write what ever method I would use to fill in the remaning four numbers.So, now I have one less number to contend with, 85% of the time.When you win, become a platinum member. That will be you're donation. If you don't win, still become a platinum member. LOL.....LOL.......LOL.United... [ More ]

WOW! Now I know I done the right thing by signing up on this site. A lot of good information and comments, it really made me think. No, we don't have an extra $500.00 to throw around, but we could take it out of our savings acct and it really wouldn't hurt too bad if we lost it. Anyways, tonight's the big drawing and we're fixing to go to the convenience store to buy 25 tickets each. I sure hope we win. If we do, I'll make a paypal donation to this site. Thanks for the advise - I'm addicte... [ More ]

why would you spend $500.00 on one draw? if you can afford it, do it. but thats kinda alot of money.......all you need is one to win. the only time you should spend alot of money on a draw is when the jackpot is more than the odds of winning.

If I were playing Florida's Fantasy Five, the odds are 1 in 376,000. If I played $500.00, my odds of hitting the Jackpot would be 1 in 752.If you're playing a Game that's 1 in 500,000, a bet of $500.00, the odds of hitting would be 1 in 1000.What happened to you with a 126 numbers was a fluke. Just like this past May when I played my birthday, month and day....520, in the cash-3 daily game. Sure enough I won $500.00 on my birthday. A nice birthday present, but it was a fluke as RJOH said.You,... [ More ]

What you need to do is see how often your lottery software can win. You want to print out the history of the game and play the software against the history and see if its win was a total fluke or how long you should wait before playing again and if you do decide to, consider 126 lines in 4 draws rather then 500 in 1 draw, if that method has produced a good result in the past. No matter how you look at it, 500 lines from 500,000 or so is just that, 500 chances to win among 500,000 it isn't good... [ More ]

Welcome to the Post, and good luck with that. I agree with Rjoh, if you can afford it, go for it. As long as the two of you are in full agreement with such a bold move and won't miss the money if your venture doesn't turn out the way you plan. LOL.litebets

I've done it twice, once as a member of a pool with 10 players including me that contributed $50 to play Ohio Super Lotto and another time for some former co-workers when I went to Indiana to pick up some PowerBall tickets.In the Super Lotto game I had come close several times to matching 5of6 with $25 worth of tickets so when the jackpot got to $14M my coworkers ask me to come up with 500 lines using my program as I had done before and make out the tickets and they would chip in and help buy th...

I've been ghost surfing for about three months. I play a LOT of Cash - 5 here in Tennessee. I've hit four of the five once, normally always get two/three combos. I think I'm addicted. Anyways, I really enjoy all the information here and glad to finally see everyone. My wife and I were considering spending $500.00 on this upcoming Friday's Cash-5 draw, I just wonder what would happen? That question has been bugging me for a LONG time. I'd sure hate to throw away $500.00 bucks, but here's wh... [ More ]
