If I was playing for real money, I just don't have luck at all.

i play megamillions and ca superlotto quickpicks. one dollar or 2 dollars each time, but not every draw. very rarely, 3 dollars. most i've won was $171.00 on megamillions for 4 numbers. that was last march when jackpot reached more than 200M. 99.99%, i don't win anything, but that is okay. i play to be in the game with the expectancy to win the jackpot oneday. i'm an incurable optimist. and if i lose, well, at least, i tried.

That's not what I meant.

I'm spending 5 bucks to win 500. That doesen't mean I found the golden goose.

What I meant was that it's easier to beat a thousand to one than 23 million to one, and if I can find the goose with the 1000 to 1, then I can parlay it into hundreds of thousands, and possibly much more depending on the goose's relaiblity.

Believe me, I'm still dreaming...lol

In fact, in the past week, I've been working on a system that's similar to vtracs, but even more narrowing,... [ More ]

pacattack05, If you're spending five to win five hundred, you've already dealt with the task of finding the golden goose and a winnable solution to something small. You don't have to think about it, you now have the kind of power to perform those miracles, you're beyond crawling or even walking, you're flying. If any of this is true then good luck to you, if not then keep on dreaming.

I consistently play Powerball, and sometimes dabble in the pick3/cash5... mostly because of the bigger histories.

Depends on my budget for the week, but 90% of the time I only play FL Lotto on Wed Sat. Occasionally I will play MegaMoney and Fantasy 5.

I mostly play the Pick-5 but when I play the Pick-4, I'll play at least $3 straight and $2 box. Don't have any type of system for Mega Millions so I might get $5 QPs when the jackpot is high.

Pac will have to be struck by lightning about 70 times before he hits Mega Millions. Bet that will leave a mark.

No cash 4.

I spend five to win five hundred. And when I find the golden goose, I can multiply my bets, thus giving me a much better leverage than trying to hit the big one.

Think about it. If you find a winnable solution to something small, you can parlay that small increment, and win much more and maybe more of a comfortable living, even though it might not be flamboyant, yet reasonably acceptable.

In my heart of hearts, I think my task at hand is much easier to deal with, when working with p-3. Jus... [ More ]

Then you are beating the odds.

Good luck to you too.

Good Luck bro...

I really hope you hit Jackpot.

And by the way....I don't spend a hundred to win fifty. I don't get that remark...

pacattack05 I understand where you're coming from and that's fine for you but for me if I had wanted another $50 I wouldn't have retired as early.

I would rather waste a dollar trying to win millions than spend a hundred to win fifty for sure.

I'm not sure what you're consdering numbers games and jackpt games, unless you mean Pick 3 and 4 as numbers (aren't they all numbers games?)

Anyway, I play, in order;

Pick 5

Mega Millions

Lotto (Pick 6)

Pick 3

Pick 4

Powerball if we go to a neighboring state.

None of them are every draw, and I'm strictly a $1 - $2 player. I play Pick 5 the most because I figure you'll hit a solid 5 before you ever hit a solid 6, if you ever do. doesn't mean I don;t try for... [ More ]

True, however, that is not the issue I was focusing on.

The odds are the reality. Mike asked a question, and I gave my interpretation of what the differences were from both game types.

We all know it takes a lot of people to fund the JP. The mere fact that is constantly bombarded to me by mis-guided people, telling me that someone wins most of the time is not enough to make me say...OH! okay !, I guess I'll just plunk down another 5 bucks because, afterall someone does win. You have to l... [ More ]

When you can buy a chance to win several million dollars for a dollar, you have to expect there to be millions of losers for every winner, after all the money got to come from someone.

Fantasy 5, Mega Millions and Powerball.

I really never play pick 3 or 4.

I know, I hear it all the time. Someone wins. Yeah, but how many millions lose in order for that one or two people to win

pacattack05 — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 19:03:45 GMT

I mostly play the p-3 games. Once in a while I'll play fantasy 5, but that's about it.

The JP odds are just way to rediculous. To hit the lotto here in Florida, is about 23 million to one.

A lightning strike hit is about 7 million to one. And this is the lightning capital of the world.

So 3 different lightning strikes would have to simultaneously hit me to have the equivalent chance of winning the lotto.

I have enough problems beating a thousand to one playing for a straight in the... [ More ]

jackpot games vs. the numbers games

LOTTOMIKE — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 18:50:57 GMT

i'm curious as to how and what people play.

i don't play the jackpot games much because you usually can't win anything.i stick to the pick 3 and pick 4.i've won a few thousand on it this year.when i first won i did use some of my winnings to play powerball but didn't win anything.
