Platinum Plus, huh? Been there; done that. They can't pick numbers any better than I can.

Uff Da has it right. The numbers from a fortune cookie have just as much chance as a quickpick, but that's not the same thing as being just as good. When fortune cookie numbers hit 5+0 in PB a year ago there were 110 winners who mostly got 100 grand. The jackpot was about 25 million, so if they'd hit 5+1 they would have shared about 13 million in cash, for 118 grand each. That's a modest improvement for some, and a drastic decrease for the people with powerplay. If the jackpot had been a bit sma... [ More ]

One time I went to play my tickets and someone had left a fortune cookie slip with lotto numbers on it right by the blank playslips.

Ah, er, ah.......

lol

I didn't hit, which I guess means they didn't either. Either that or the state lottery left them there

I've never had a fortune cookie with a lottery number, but doubt that I'd choose to play it if I did. By my reasoning, one set of numbers is as good as any other, at least for a lottery with the odds of MM, which is what I usually play. Therefore, I see little point in spending my dollar on a set of numbers with such a high likelihood of multiple winners and necessity of splitting the pot.

I wonder if they ever made fortune cookies that said LUMP SUM or ANNUAL PAYMENTS ? I don't like Chinese food anyway.

I actually went to play a lottery ticket with the fortune cookie numbers then changed my mindd and bought a scratch off for someone else. The scratch off prize was all the fortune cookie numbers averaged...$15.00. If I had played the numbers, maybe better return on my investment. I'll never know. I crumbled the little slip and bought and ice cream sandwich

I don't play fortune cookie numbers myself but my wife tells me to play them for her. She also has me play a lottery number from a movie. I think the movie is Paycheck.

My vote is no. I don't usually use a fortune cookie to pick my numbers. I usually use frequency and hot/cold numbers to determine what numbers I choose if CA SLP hits at least $48 million.

clairvoyance talks about how numbers come to you in strange ways. I have twice gotten numbers for whatever reason (Pick 4), but I didn't play them. But looking at the records, they have hit.

you hear so much these days about people winning with fortune cookie numbers that its seems like you'd have just as much of a chance winning with them as you would a quick pick.......

That's what I use for my $1 Powerball ticket twice a week.Hey...it's just as good as any combination in a game with such ridiculous odds.

Yes, come to think of it I have played a few of those fortune cookie numbers. I won once of the few times I've done it. I think it was 20 dollars that I won (because of the power play option). I still do play then now and then, but they really have to be a set of numbers that catches my eye at that time. It's fun to try something out of the ordinary once in a while.

fja- Your story is delighting! Glad you kept your humour about the scenario. Thus far I have played- fortune cookies, expiration dates from milk cartons, License plates, check number from paying a bill, my kids birthdates, my drivers license number, my social security number, and my street address. My siblings birthdates, my anniversary and my employers address. Beleive it or not I've hit *straight bets* and *combos* from these. The resources are there its a matter of how they hit

Why not? None of the other numbers I've played have won the jackpot, they couldn't do any worst.

I have played fortune cookie numbers in the past and not won so I quit playing them. Now I play birthday numbers and important dates in time as my powerball numbers. I also do a couple of QP's.

Never played a fortune cookie number but, One time I was walking to the store to play my numbers and a 2 week old lottery ticket blew up against my leg...I looked up into the sky and asked if this was the sign I had been waiting for.....well you just know I had to play it.....not one number came up....after I checked the ticket, I looked up into the sky, smiled, and said that was a pretty good joke.
