I've lost more then I've won so far. Especially playing Powerball.

I never keep track. I buy one Fantasy 5 ticket every night and play Lotto twice a week with 4 or 5 combinations. I've won about $100 so far this year and a few free tickets.

Let us compute something:

we buy $10 PB per drawing, and there are 52 weeks per year i.e. 104 drawings per year. Therefore $1040 per year.

We play PB 10 years, i.e. $10400. If you match 4+1 one time in these 10 years, you will not lose money.

Infact, I have never won anything in my first $200 play and my sisiter ridiculed me that what a wonder , you ought to buy lotto. But I won $19 in later $100 (especially after chrismas). GO ON!! shot the jackpot

YTD for 2008 have spent $116 (all number games, pick3 through 5+1) and won $3, the $3 being three $1 wins on Litle Lotto (pick 5).

On Valentine's Day my wife gave me a $2 scratcher that won $12.

At one time or over a period?

I play $30 per week. In Super Lotto Only. As a rule I don't play Mega Millions. I don't like the 171million to 1 odds. 41 millions is bad enough.

For me it was about $200 for the year and all of that was spent when the jackpot was over $200 million. We have five lines of numbers on each ticket and it's easy to notice how many tickets don't even have a 1 number match. Without a mega ball match we have to match 3 numbers just to win 7 bucks.

The amount of the jackpot might justify buying 40 tickets but the overall odds of winning anything is 1 in 40 so in reality we should expect to have 39 losing tickets. The jackpot winners in the late... [ More ]

I have lost money in Powerball in the long run.

Lotto five averages out... 3/5 keeps you playing with their money.

Pick 3/ pick 4 one can make a profit.. Just find that golden system and stick with it.

How about yours?

I have spent about $300 ($297) in lottery (only MegaMillions and PowerBall) and have won $19(M 12 and P 7).
