What is your lottery personality?

I'm after the BIG one through and through. If it isn't at least several million, it isn't worth throwing my money at. If I'm going to win, I want it to make a DIFFERENCE in my life.

Mostly I wait until MM gets up to a cash option of $25 to $50 million. I'd rather buy five tickets when the jackpot is higher than one each week when the jackpot is lower. However, if the MM jackpot hasn't been high long enough to encourage me to play often and my lottery funds are burning a hole in my pocket, I b... [ More ]

Mega Million, Fantasy 5, classic 47, Raffles, and Keno depending on Jackpots and whatever game is due for an allocated win in my area.

I play PB - but I'm not 'after' the jackpot - I'm 'after' another 5x5.

Pick 3 and sometimes the four game. I like the smell of victory once in awhile and the agony of defeat to keep my wagering within the budget.

Quick picks on jackpot games. A dollar and a dream.

Justexploring, I agree! It always seems like everyday someone wins something on the east coast! Oh well! Good for them! Our turn is around the corner! I'm in Lee County, are you

Sooner or later somethings gotta give!

This is so true!

Not whether or not, but When? How much? and where?

I play fantasy 5, pick 3 and pick 4 on occasion, but mostly I focus on MM. I fear that I may only hit once and I'd much rather it were on MM than any other game!

Somethings gotta give is precisely my sentiment

Hi, Rainmaker. I'm also in Southwest FL. I think we can improve our odds by moving to Miami-Dade county! LOL

Last night I got a Free Play with Fantasy-5 and the 2 winners who shared $234K both won with QPs. People use an expression it's all a crap shoot but I don't say that when referring to the FL Lottery. I think there's some skill involved when playing craps.

I play mostly Fantasy 5 as well. I dabble every now and then with the Mega Money. But, I like the odds better with the Fantasy. We have a pool at work for the Lotto. Not much has happened with that, either. I'm not a scratch off guy or a pick 3 or 4 guy. I guess my feeling is, when I win, I might as well win enough to do something with!

Sooner or later somethings gotta give! Can't win if you don't play

If I had a Pick 4 or Pick 5 game close too me, those would be my games of choice and I would probably play them more then any other game. However, they aren't available to me at the moment, so I am basically stuck playing Powerball, Hot Lotto and occasionally Wild Card 2.

you're right tiggss95, that's why i don't play it...You got to take buses and go long distances to look for your numbers if they haven't sold out and many times if your number is a hot one they ask you to have it with another number...

Panama will be much better if it had a Pick3 and you had to match it Straight and it pay 400 dollars and letting people choose their own numbers...But Panamenians don't want to learn...Recently i was told they were planing on putting a Keno here in Panama...JUs... [ More ]

and i feel kind of bad too because my youngest sister won the lottery and she doesn't play lottery normally...And here i am talking about lottery, i am the one in the family that talks the most about lottery and is more knowleageable about the lottery and look who wins it, my youngest sister here in Panama...

Here in Panama the only national lottery is a pick4 but you must match it straight you can't match it box...And to compound the problem you can't go to the gas station and pick YOUR NUMB... [ More ]

I play because i'll like to go to college, i play win for life though i haven't played it in a while, but all i want is 1 million so that i can go back to college and or have my own private tutor...

And while i am at it, i see the lottery as a challenge, there are several ways i see it and i'll explain...Remember the movie Predator1 with Arnold Schawzzennegger well i see Keno and Powerball like the Alien in that movie, something you can't see, you can't see the patterns, and i feel like i am...

What is your lottery personality?

I know this has already been discussed in the past, but tonight when Pumpi asked about the personality of a lottery game, I thought I'd start this topic. Although I don't believe a game itself can have a personality, each lottery player chooses a game for a different reason. Example: Someone who mainly plays pick-3 might simply prefer the odds over a game like PB, whereas someone who only plays PB or MM might just be after the huge jackpots, even though the odds of winning are astronomical....
