The playslip for PA Powerball has up to 26 advanced draws...So if you buy 5 lines with powerplay for 26 advanced drawings you leave with a long ticket (because it has to print all the 26 different dates) for which you payed 10x26=$260...it will last you for 13 weeks or roughly 3 and a half months...since different numbers will come out and also different powerballs your chances with the 5 lines + powerplay are good that you will get some $ back (maybe you can catch a 26 three times in a row) but...

FWIW a woman in front of me at the store this morning bought a ticket in our 6/39 game and asked that it be for five days. It was a quickpick, but she did buy it for the next five days...

Texas has ten also. When I'm out of town, I most always buy as much advanced tickets as I can afford. My thinking is it will give me a head start as no one in my smallish hometown would suspect it's me.

I am always curious if the line that is played for one draw on a qp might come in three draws later....

Missouri is 15 for PB.

Isn't it kind of odd that the PB states have different number of drawings allowed for advanced play for the same game?

We have a friend that is always asking us to play a ticket for him when we go to Missouri, if the jackpot is up - but- he never wants to play advanced play because he can't stand the thought of someone hitting a jackpot and then the rest of the plays on his ticket are going from the start point.

But then if it doesn't get hit, he wants some0one to... [ More ]

Illinois has advanced play and subscriptions. you have to have an Illinois mailing address for subscriptions.

For the Pick 5 you can subscribe for 91, 182, or 364 drawings, for thje Pick 6 it's for 38, 78, or 156 drawings.

I don't know about the advanced play tickets, but as for subscriptions, I ve been getting the daily e-mail list of winners for the Pick 5 game for almost four years and in all that time have seen maybe three subscription winners.

In some states, if you play an advance... [ More ]

you mean like buying quick picks in advanced...Great idea....

I think that will boost sales, because there are many cases if not most cases where people don't want to drive to their local gas station or local grocery store to buy lottery tickets because of the gas prices...

By allowing the play in advanced you are allowing people to save more gas and buy the tickets when they have the chance...

I've also noticed that when people are buying quick picks for the lottery, they are buying so... [ More ]

I think there was a news article not to long ago about it.

Someone sent their money in to the state lottery for a years worth of plays. The lottery got the money and numbers ahead of a drawing. They did not process it until after the drawing .

The winning numbers came out after they received the money and numbers and before it was processed. There was a big stink about it.

i wouldn't think they would mention that lil tidbit of info. Discourages ppl from purchasing tickets on play day. The day when they have the most sales. (IMO

We've read where some jackpot winners have played the same set of numbers for years and play slips give the option of playing quick picks for the next 10 drawings too. According to my favorite lottery clerk, many people play in advance so it's probably happened many times.

That would be interesting to find out. I've never read or heard about a jackpot winner playing the same number with advanced plays.

Yes that is what I mean. When I traveled to MI in March, I bought advance plays along the way.

tntea, do you mean they bought advanced play on their tickets? I have thought of doing that myself, instead of wondering about buying tickets weekly.

I wonder how many jackpot winners had their winning number played up for several draws. Does anyone know if that has ever been mentioned
