Yeah..I know...but 30 years was enough for me...wanted to try something else with my life...I know it was risky but I'm doing ok for now . Winning has brought changes like finding out who are my friends and who aren't..for one.!! Also , after 30 years I was able to pay off every bill that was out there and today owe no entity a single dollar. Past 5 years have been better then the 25 before that.

When little lotto had a 5/30 matrix...it was easier to pick 3 and 4 out of 5 daily...but , now... [ More ]

Ah, that would give me an entirely different perspective, too.

Good for you!

Had I have known Little Lotto was not always going to br 5 / 30 I would have pounded it a lot more....

coin toss : I understand your sentiment. I already hit the little lotto twice in a 5 month period back in 2000....I owed so much money that I finally spent all of it and today do not have any bills. In fact, I am having a new home built in Huntley, illinois. That's Sun City .

In the megagame ...even if you don't have the megaball you still stand a chance of winning 250k. Having said that...let me say that the little lotto has been tough to beat since graduating to a 5/39 matrix. So, in... [ More ]

I know what you're saying but I don't happen to have a few hundred thousand in my pocket.

In the grand scheme of things I'd rather try to hit the few hundred thousand and maybe hit it than skip it entirely chasing the Mega Millions and never hit it.

There hasn't been a Mega Millions winner ( 5 + MM) from Illinois yet that I can think of).

Good luck all regardless the chosen game you go after.

Megamillions....I'm not wasting any time playing for a few hundred thousands of dollars.

I'm going after all the millions of dollars that are out there......and then I'll gamble just for the heck of it

Little Lotto for me, too. I play them all, Little Lotto the most, Pick 4 the least, but when the Little Lotto jackpot is up and I play anyhting else I feel like I should be throwing that at Little Lotto, too.

In a Pick 5 game the odds are still astonomical, but you have a feeling you have better chances of hitting it than any Pick 6 or 5 and (MM, PB).

There have been times the Little Lotto jackpot has been over $1,000,000.

I guess it just comes down to when you play a Pick 5 you

Hi homegirl....

I voted Little Lotto only because I like the new rollover format and there's usually only one winner. Nice balance of odds and jackpot. Also you get your buck back for matching two. The 3 of 5 and 4 of 5 payouts should be illegal but I'm not playing for those goals....give me the jackpot or give me my buck back.
