Last year we visited our kids in Oregon and i had checked out the casinos on the net before we went. Found one about 60 mins from Eugene and asked if anyone else wanted to go they declined so i said see you all in about 8 hrs. Well i won $2500.00 cash no jackpots just kept winning on a sizzling sevens multi denom machine. The powerball was over 2 hundred and fifty mill so i bought 100 quick picks. Results were not one winner, but was still up $2400.00. By the way only took $150.00 to the ca... [ More ]

four4me,

Thank you for the advice. But I'm going to stay away from the scratch offs. I think Wednesday afternoon I'll do a 50/50 pick. 50 quick picks and 50 of my numbers based on the history of previous picks.

My Grandfather used to send me $25 which was an awful lot of money to him. He lived in a boarding house on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. I don't think I've ever known anyone who loved this country as much (well, maybe Jarasan. lol )

Anyway, I know this is a lottery board, but personally I wouldn't use that $100 to buy junk and/or lottery tickets. When he'd fly up for a visit I'd show him the dress I bought with his present and he'd smile and say such a model!

Oh, Happy Birthd... [ More ]

Welcome to LP.

When I was younger, I would just spend it on junk. But for the past 5 years, I've purchased scratch offs.

First of all, great site. Some very interesting ideas, posts, systems...

For the past 20 years, my grandmother sends me $100 for my birthday. When I was younger, I would just spend it on junk. But for the past 5 years, I've purchased scratch offs. At first it was 100 $1 tickets. Then it turned to 50 $2 tickets. As of now, I'm about $60 up. Which isn't too bad.

My birthday was yesterday and this will be the first time I actually buy Texas Lotto tickets. But before I do, I wanted to know wh... [ More ]
