I remember at one point Ohio did not do Sunday drawings either. Ohio started Sunday and Christmas drawings in 2007.

When other state lotteries began adding Sunday drawings, Ohio had more conservative Governors and state houses so the necessary legislation was never enacted. It wasn't until 2006 when a les... [ More ]

I post winning numbers on the Georgia and Virginia on the Pick-3 numbers, and stuff like how many times the numbers have won in the past, when they last won, etc. Virginia started doing Sunday drawings on January 7, 2007 and Georgia started doing midday Sunday drawings on April 19, 2009.

Well did you play today? I played but i am better off calling numbers instead of playing the number. I get a thrill out of seeing what State they will fall in. Plus I save money. I't fun just to see where the number fall! Because it doesn't cost me anything. And I hope L.P members are cashing in with my numbers, because I haven't yet.

I know here in TX we play rain-sleet-snow-ice-holidays-2nd coming of Christ-u name it we're having our designated drawings. I just hate that TX only does lottery 6 days a week and not seven. But then we were instructed to rest on the sabbath....................Amen
