Ice Man,

That's a pretty detailed report, you're a meticulous record keeper.

For the year I've spent $761 on all games and have won $152. Of that $100 was on Little Lotto 4 of 5, a couple of 3 of 5's for $10 each, $12 on MM for 1 + 1 with a 4 Megaplier. All the rest was 2 of 5 on LL for $1.

I usually play Little Lotto every night, Pick once in a while, Pick 4 once in a blue moon, Lotto if it's up a little and whichever is highest of MM or PB.

This:

Iceman, this is Ghostrider,

You're about average in your winnings/losses. The lottery is set up to achieve the results you've compiled here. In our state (California), they've accelerated the losses with their Mega Number scheme. The odds against winning have effectively doubled over the previous game, and it's a long shot just to win a Replay .

That's not bad at all. Much better than me anyway hehe. You seems to have better luck with scratchers. The higher ones do have better rate of return. I am planning my christmas traditon again of buying a bunch of instant and saving them for christmas day.

Good luck to ya
