Congrats on all your wins guesser! I wished we had a Keno game in our state. It seems like it would be a fun game to play.

I gave up playing the Lottery 2 weeks ago, but I have to say I gave it up to play Keno instead, I have applied all the numerology stuff I have discovered here and by playing Powerball: and I have won more money in my first 5 minutes of Keno than I have in 3 years of playing 10 games of Powerball in every drawing. And after one week I have recouped ALL of my costs of playing Powerball for the last 3 years X 2.

Sorry about your dad, and hope your mom will get better soon.

It does seem like a cruel world sometimes. But there is no room for failure. The best part about being a human being is that most of us fight back when we're cornered by all the forces around us. And when we look back and see how we won once again after a good fight, it's a good feeling.

The one thing that keeps me going on confidently is this................................That I'm still standing.

Only you know what's best,... [ More ]

very good 345,we expect some snow tomorrow.also we love to go to nj,see our grand daughter,and visit the casinos,after saving a little extra for 3 months.i think we all should be educated,even if no jobs except at jiffy stops here.that's one of the few things about obama,is the education property taxes might go up some.

Pcnut,

I echo the words of NBey6 above which was presented so perfectly!

You do have to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit in matters of the heart and where Jesus Christ is concerned. I do feel many people in this world are going through what you are experiencing in making decisions regarding their lives and their habits, whether it is gambling, overeating, drugs, adultery, and the list goes on. Only the person involved knows where God is directing them. Perhaps your message was mea... [ More ]

yeah,sometimes when i get at a low point,i question my religion,like where did god come from,where was he/she before the earth was made,so many unanserwed questions.magma think tank i agree with you politically,it's time for the 250,000 dollar/year to belly up to the bar,and pay the fiddler,as when times get tough economically,the rich hoard their money,no trickle down,as we've seen.

I see it this way pcnut! God made this earth and put us on it. I have yet to see the bible say we have to worship God in a brick and mortar building! Where does it say we as Gods children have to tithe our hard earned money to some preacher in that building? Why have we been conditioned to believe that the man of the cloth knows what's best for us? Who knows why it's been that way for centuries, but it doesn't have to be that way any-longer if we don't want it to be.

All that's needed for us... [ More ]

i just always feel so terribly sad for those that allow their church to dictate something as simple as playing the lottery - where it was NEVER spoken of in the bible, rather men has dissected and interpreted what god must have meant, possibly because of their own addictions - i believe it would have been touched on if it was a 'sin' - yet these same churches continue with their church raffles and bingo games .. what can you do? oh well, hope all you christians finally find 'peace' and rest by n...

Most churches will pray and still take money from lottrey winner. Pc nut if you believe that your faith do not encourage you to play the lottrey you should have never play the lottrey to begin with. Lottrey is not your friend is just a game. Best wishes to you.

There is nothing wrong with playing the lottery within your means. If you have let what you spend on anything get out of control, then yes you need to stop cold turkey.

The lottery is a recreation that provides hope in the future. That ticket in your pocket could be the way out of all your financal problems for the cost of a single well played dollar per draw. If god wanted you to win, how else would you want the money sent to you, by a loved one dying?

During the last couple weeks I was kind of feeling the same thing that you are feeling. Actually in my dream my father came to me early one morning and knocked on my bedroom door I answered the door and he asked me if I was still gambling. I wasn't even aware that he knew I was playing regularly, I was in shock. I don't know whether this was my heavenly father or earthly father because when I open my bedroom door there was no one there. It was a dream.

From that day I realize that I was putti... [ More ]

I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do.

I would recommend not making life-altering decisions before the November election, because I think you'll see a drastic change of message coming from the media after the election is over, and they no longer have to make everything seem awful.

It's absolutely criminal what they are doing, because all the gloom and doom scenarios they are painting in order to affect the election is having a bad effect on the good people of this countr... [ More ]

Keep your eye on the Middle East and Russia.

Pcnut,

Only with an open mind can you see what lies ahead of you. Most people face a crisis in their lives with blinders on and hope that a quick fix will remedy their situation, but as always it doe's not..

Always remember that Family is first and foremost. Whatever your situation is, keep an open mind and follow your heart. I wish you well and I hope your Mothers condition improves, as well as you finding the peace within yourself. Keep faith and take care...

It's true that anyone in crisis will become alert to their crisis and conflicts within themselves. It's up to that person to intellectualize what is the best solution for them.

When life throws you conflicts, playing the lottery is definitly NOT the solution. With it's addictive draw, it too can cause more problems, like that of any addictive drug.

I have come to a realization, with my much enjoyed interests in finding, researching, or participating in the lottery in any form, such as personal gambling or helping others with the 3 Pair Strategy Forecast, has now put me in conflict with myself in becoming a reborn Christian. Things are changing so rapidly in our world, now in crisis, such as U.S. banking and overseas conflicts, one has to wonder, is it time. In my heart, I feel the answer is yes.
