When the jackpot on a Pick 5 gets pumped up, play the numbers from the last jackpot that got hit as a key to a QP. Put the last winner's as Game A (or however your state labels it) and QP Game B.

Keep a favorite pen or pencil just for playslips.

Mummies are just fine in the museum, wildspecks. It's when they commence to shufflin around in the spooky old woods around your cabin at night that they can become pests. I don't wanna be comin out of the outhouse at night with my flashlight and see a mummy standin there. Uh-uh, no way.

Repetitive numbers, that is numbers that you personally see all day, have to be played!

I have a red tabby cat and I kiss him on top of the head for luck. I also wear a lucky ring to buy my tickets; the ring wasn't bought specifically as a lucky ring, but I was wearing it when I had a good casino hit.

And what's wrong with mummies, lol? I was very upset when I went to see the Ramses exhibit and there were no mummies there! Maybe I even made a slight scene in the museum.

It's a Turtle Shell THRUST. An Eastern Box Turtle. They live in the woods on the ridges all around me. I have a shell from one on top of my tickets. My dogs are always bringing shells from out of the woods down to me. Not to mention other bones and skulls from who knows what.

I'm gonna turn the turtle shell north tonight before the MM draw to unleash its full potential. I call him Buford. Buford the lucky turtle.

This is a good topic. I'm not sure if what I do is superstituous but, I do it right before I play my numbers. I simply tell the machine, I have just as many chances to win as you. So, just like me, ONE mistake and I win .

It's more geared up to ward off fear than anything because gambling and fear don't mix. If I'm scared to play I'm scared to win because I have an equal chance at both. Hey, may as well play!!! Seems to work for me.

Oak leaves were sacred to the Celtic Druids. Carrying an acorn (or any piece of the oak for that matter) can be considered especially lucky as they promote energy and youthfulness.

Whatever your Grandmother believed would probably come to pass, Rosina. Who knows how these superstitions got started but there was a reason somewhere and why mess with it? If she believed she wasn't going to win after hearing a man sneeze she probably wouldn't. Somehow, somewhere, somebody gave her that info and maybe we should pay more attention to it.
