Rotating as fja has stated sounds like a great option.

Oooooooooooooo..... Decisions decisions. Not a position I would care to be in. Too stressful. Especially if your discarded numbers hit. Listen to your gut. If your numbers hit on a date that you do not play them be prepared to forgive yourself and try not to stress over it.

I stay away from P3 and P4, because even if you win it wont make much difference in your life.

I limit the number of Powerballs and Mega millions, because the Odds are just too terrible.

I focus on the ones that pay between $10,000 and $200,000

And the games that pay in the low millions.

Badger 5 may only be paying $84,000 tonight, but the odds are like 1,150x better than powerball.

Wis Megabucks is only paying $2,700,000 cash Saturday but the odds are 28x better than powerball.

Thanks for the support TSC. That is exactly what I'm hoping. When I dropped my 13 of my 15 line super lotto number I truly cant remember what they were so if they do hit, I won't remember if I had that set or not. But the FF numbers.. I remember them so I have to pray they decide not to hit. But lika everyone else I still hope for the Super Lotto. Fantasy is just extra hehehahhahaheheh.

I know how you feel about cutting back due to your sudden change of budget but you should listen to your inner instinct and play the numbers because you never, never know when they will hit; for the past several months, I played 215 Daily Derby every weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but forgot to play it on one Sunday--well guess what number hit that particular sunday-- 215 ; the payoff it was under $500. 00 however I was annoyed, pissed and angry at myself for not playing it that particula...

I have a list of 15 mm numbers that I rotate to play 5...I set up a score sheet and rotate them according to how they score.

It must be hard to give up on a number that you've been playing for so long. But I understand why you are doing it. I have a set budget as well. I try to avoid playing the same numbers over and over also, because I am afraid of the same thing: One day I will not play it and it won't come out. Hopefully though, the line that you discarded won't come out and one of the lines that you kept will

Hey LP family

Just wanting to ask your opinion on something. I have a wierd feeling of loss because I had to let one of my Fantasy Five lines go. As you know I have been playing the same FF for years but I realized that playing 2 lines of a daily FF lottery is $60-$62 dollars per month. That was fine when I had that great paying mortgage job but I have had to cut WAY back since accepting a new job which I love but is half the pay. I had already dropped my 15 super lotto lines to 2 but for
