Thanks Dollar,

I feel better now, cause I plan on playing my number until they put me in the grave ( and a fe weeks after that--just in case). My numbers seem to be cold now, cause I have always gotten at least 2 numbers for a replay now nothing. (FF) But I will not change my numbers or stop playing--- when I look at the statistics on my number patters... Oh boy! its only a matter of time LP family, only a matter of time. When they hit, they seem to always hit together.

But let me sa... [ More ]

I believe the game are not fixed; but in every big lotto game, certain combinations of numbers hit more than others. You can check your numbers on the Illinois Lotto Home Page. go to Lotto links; Numbers/jackpots; pass winning numbers; search by numbers; select little lotto; enter your numbers; take out the ck mark for Limit Results to past year; hit submit. The results will show you how your numbers did over the past years. You should know that 40% + of the all the drawings between 02/25/04 thr... [ More ]

You may think so if your chosen numbers aren't hitting/winning however, it is not fixed. Your chosen numbers as well as mine will eventually hit one day--just keep playing and beliving and stop doubting that it won't happen. Just ask any of the new new lottery millionaires if they ever doubt or not..it is all about persistence and positive thinking. Stay on your path and keep your budget so you will have enough money to play because you never know when it will happen-GOOD LUCK IN WINNING... [ More ]

On the smaller games it would be easier to stick with the same numbers because the chance of those numbers eventually coming out is pretty good.

I can't say that I would agree with the big lotto games. A Pick 5 game maybe but even then you might be waiting awhile for your numbers to hit.

I don't like QP's! Too many times they produce lines that are very unlikely to hit. I would rather pick numbers off the top of my head

Here's the BRT (Basic Rule of Thumb): Even with Pick 5 and especially the big lotto games, playing the same numbers or Quick Picks is always better. Why? Too many numbers and fluctuation in the draws to develop winning combinations for any targeted draw. Remain consistent and the numbers just may land in your favor.

When it comes to smaller games, it becomes just that much easier due to less total combinations and you can certainly hit by playing the same numbers over again. This is providing... [ More ]

rdgrnr,

On those rare occassions when a subscription ticket wins the jackpot it just says:

Players Matching 5 of 5 Number Including Subscription winners: 1

Subscription Winners: 1

Doesn't say if it's a QP or not.

I always play the same numbers adding digits for games with more numbers.

But I also always play quick picks along with them.

Coin Toss,

Do they tell you if the subscription winners are quick picks?

I use to play yearly subscriptions there and I'd have a line of my numbers and had them quick pick another line.

Never say never! Try mixing your numbers up a little bit. Is there a reason you always play the same numbers?

I play Little Lotto and once in a great while I'll watch the drawing on TV. I don't see how it could be fixed.

If you mean Illiois since you said Little Lotto go to the Pick 5 Forum, look for Illinois Little Lotto Jackpots.

They are there for 2008, 2009, and thus far in 2010.

I think in that time span there have been 3 subscriptions winners, it's pretty rare when one wins.

Most winners have been quick picks.

The lottery makes money off of everybody that plays, it doesn't matter how they play.

Playing the same numbers.

I play Little Lotto (Pick 5) and Lotto. I always play the same numbers. When I check the results, sometimes the winners are subscription players, sometimes not. Do you think that Little Lotto fixes the games so that the people who play the same numbers only win periodically? That way, it still gives hope to those of us who play the same numbers, but it also keeps us playing our numbers each week and the lottery continues to make money off of us.

I'm not kidding myself, I doubt I will ever win... [ More ]
