The odds change when you stop playing a number they go from whatever to 50/50. I've been burned more than a couple of times on the P4s, but lately it is One-offiitis big time!

As far as the text editing problems goes my Delete key didn't work this morning but it works now, it may have something to do with the changes Todd has been making.

I had a spacing issue a few days back, too. I'd type a space, the cursor would move right, and then jump back. It was only doing it at the end of a line, so I just typed the period and then continued working to the left of the period. I've also run into issues with deleting text, which also seem to be dependent on the position of characters. Sometimes the backspace key wouldn't delete the previous character, and sometimes the delete key wouldn't delete the next character. Sometimes the delete ke... [ More ]

Thanks, good to know how to fix it without starting a new post. Do you use FireFox too

2 of my combinations are identical except for 1 number, so that's really a waste of money.

Not if either one of them hits it isn't, not at all.

It's doing that spacing thing to me too, likethisIknow what you mean.

So waht I do is type, hit enter, type it double spaced, then go back and back space.

I think it is a cardinal rule of powerball and mega millions, lol.

i voted yes i fear it because i have to have my same 5+1 in every powerball and megamillions jackpot drawing and i will also get quick picks to go along with it but if i cant play my 5+1 i wont play any numbers and i wont check the results because i dont want to see if i missed out on my jackpot...

2 of your choices are similar, so I checked yes but the my numbers are due is also one reason I won't stop. I agree with RJOh.. facts SHOULD cure me, but they haven't. 2 of my combinations are identical except for 1 number, so that's really a waste of money. However, what if I decide to change it and I even get 5 out of 6? In Florida that's $5,000. So I am destined (or doomed) to play these numbers forever. I just hope they're not the ones that are drawn during the pre-tests.... [ More ]

Not now, facts have cured me. The odds of my numbers hitting when I don't play are the same as when I do play. Last night when I played MegaMillions, one of my three bet slips wouldn't run because a megaball wasn't marked, I decided not to play that slip and saved $5. I did hit the megaball on one of the other two slips I played so the results were the same, I lost $8 instead of $13. If I hadn't played my numbers all year, I would have saved a lot of money but you got to be in the game to wi... [ More ]

Let's see if it works now. Yep it's spacing again. Anyone know what causes it to quit allowing spaces? It's happened several times now.

Anywho, I also play quickpicks, but I make sure not to memorize the numbers so I won't feel bad-if-they-com-up-in-future-draws.--It-quit-spacing-again.

Yep, I've been playing the same numbers since I moved to a PB state in 1993. I've only missed 1 or 2 drawings, back before they had multi-draw slips. My numbers are due!!!!
