Wow, in NY if you hit 3/5 you win anywhere from 18 to 25 bucks!! I think this is the first time I have said something poistive about NY here @ LP!!! But the down fall is the jackpot is really never more the about $110k. And if more than one person wins it really gets low. I have seen a bunch of people win a little more than 10k BEFORE taxes

Oh, so very true RJOh! I knew I didn't win tonight when I saw the numbers, but I gasped. So close again. I just won another $10.50. I didn't bet the same numbers, but I kept 2-19-28 which were 3 of the 5 that were drawn.

Winning is only part of the story. It's how you feel when you think you've won.

I always check my play file with the data file on my computer before highlighting the numbers on my tickets and one time I made a mistake and added the winning numbers to my play file while updating my data file and when I checked my play file I thought I had won the jackpot. I was shaky and nervous as if I had really won for about 5 minutes until I checked my tickets. I didn't win anything but I knew how it... [ More ]

The Ohio Rolling Cash5 (5/39 game), pays $1 for a 2/5. Since the odds of getting a 2/5 are 1:9, if a 2/5 paid $9, one could play for practically nothing until they won the jackpot.

I don't understand, Pumpi. How can someone make a killing with 2/5? I've got to go back and read the posts to see how many typos I made. 3/5 paid me about $9 2/5 pays a Free Ticket.

Edit: My mistake - gosh, I did it again! 2 numbers in Fant 5 pays a Free ticket. 3/5 pays around $10 (depending on the amount of players/winners) I understand the game and the payoffs, but for some reason I'm typing the wrong information!

Anyway, last night I won a Free Ticket with a Free Ticket!! At... [ More ]

How can 2/5 pay 9 dollars...Someone sure could make a killing with those 2/5...LIke get himself a killer wheel that guarantees 2 of 5...

More important than winning the state's lotteries is the movie Red Planet ......

however i have to admit that this system is for pick6, not much for pick5...

I once went to a chinese restaurant and they gave me the lucky crackers ticket, the lucky charm piece of paper had some numbers written down on it...That same night i check it with my state's pick5 and it had played the day BEFORE...

how unlucky..

question Juxploring: how many tickets did you buy? And how many tickets do you normally buy...

That's exactly what i saw LP predictors do countless time except that they didn't get 3/5 but 4/5 and 4/6...And it made me to believe that if they only knew how to build a wheel they could switch the numbers just a little and win all the time...Example, how will you feel if you know that you are going to spend 50 dollars and in those 50 dollars you are going to get a 3/5 and that the two numbers that you miss were going to be 12 and 18 and what had played was 11 and 17....This is why i've said t...

Thanks for noticing. I made a typo - I didn't get 4/5 which would have paid about $800 since nobody hit the 5/5.

Winning numbers were

3-10-19-20-28 (not 22)

I had

2-10-19-22-28

That number 22 is always in my head

In lotto the number that doesn't hit is worth its weight in gold literally.

you have to wonder though, if you had 3 instead of 2 20 instead of 22 (but you show 22 as one of the winners), would it still have been a solo pop, or how many others had the nuimbers you played - and was it a QP?

Congrats on an awful close call! (But see my sig

Last night I bet

2-10-19-22-28

winning number drawn

3-10-19-22-28

2 out of 5 paid $9

5 out of 5 (no winners Tues) = $269,000

Feeling (1) - I am so happy I won something. $9 will buy my Lotto tickets tonight and maybe I'll get some quick picks. Nice to get a hit once in a while!

Feeling (2) - I can't believe that I would have won $260,000 more had I chosen 3 instead of 2 and 20 instead of 22. This is so frustrating
