This is most true. Also, when you have this kind of money to play with, you spread it out in an effort to obtain maximum opportunities. I still play off of money I specifically put aside some time ago. Wasn't a whole lot either... just enough so I'd have it when I wanted to play. Kinda like payin' for your losses of sorts...while still having the same opportunities.

Great words to live by--DON'T GIVE UP PLAYING!! However, sometimes I feel like throwing in the towel when my chosen numbers haven't hit yet after playing very faithfully and being very persistance at times. I know my chosen numbers will hit eventually, it is figuring it when they will hit!! I WON'T GIVE UP

yeah... but first you have to HAVE some money to then get parted from it. It's that first part that I always seem to have issues with...

I like this! Dropping lots of money on something like a MM or PB will likely result in something getting behind payment-wise...unless the person is fairly well off. There are plenty of well off people in the world, however, they didn't get there by dropping several hundred dollars on a game of this complexity no matter what the odds tell them. A fool and their money will, indeed, soon part.

So what are you guys going to do? Play a full playslip ($5.00) for each game you play

DON'T GIVE UP!!!

It's kind of nice that where I work there are 3 co-workers who love the games and feel the same about persistence. We're not doing a pool at the moment but I imagine we will again one of these days. There is no retirement plan through my job so YES - I will keep playing my games.

That's it! How hard can it be. So you picked the 6 correct numbers, right

The first clerk told me that I was lucky, I won.

The second clerk said that I look like a winner.

The third clerk wanted to know how much I won.

...

I think I'll stop playing for a while.

I'm sure each of the winners (if they are long time lottery players) have asked themselves the same question.

The key is the key... dont give up.

Coming up with or picking 4 numbers is easier than 5 and 3 is easier than 4. But how easy depends on how many choices we have. In PB there are 5,153,633 different choices to match 5 numbers, 19,088 to match 4, and 360 to match 3.

To answer your question, of course it can be done and was done many times, but it's one of those difficult things that aren't often repeated. Your cheerleader is oblivious to how hard a task it is, but still knows it can be done and besides, she can buy lots of pom... [ More ]

Of course it can !!! its done every 4-6 weeks...just not by me or possibly you (yet)....I have this guy~~~~ on my shoulder laughing when I don't come up with the correct 5 + 1......But I am due and it will happen ! ...The date that it's going to happen is a bit fuzzy. I am leaning towards this next Friday or Saturday

How hard can it be?

Coming up with 5 numbers? Yes, they have to be the correct ones, but STILL - 5 - that's all. Gee.

The cheerleader on my shoulder shouts, Come on, YOU CAN DO IT! GO!!! She's been shouting for a long time now, every Wednesday and Saturday, even sometimes on Tuesdays and Fridays, poor girl, but she buys energy drinks. What a trooper.

What do you think, can it be done
