I started playing when scratch offs when I was 23. That's when the Louisiana Lottery first started up.

My fisrt lottery ticket?...I started playing back when my dad got his store in 2001. But I was usually playing for fun, here and there. It wasnt until recently that I started to play for real. Even tho I am still underage, ill play to save up money for college or a car.

When I was at the ripe old age of eight and a half, I remember being fascinated walking by the lottery ticket counter. So many people were

lining up with big smiles on their faces to buy a shot at their dreams. NH was the first state in the union to begin selling online lotto tickets

successfully in 1964. I screamed and begged for my mother to buy me a single ticket. She usually gave in and bought me one

just to shut me up. I don't recall if their were any big winners. Ahhh........youth... [ More ]

by law you cant purchase tickets until you are 18 in new york...so you aint gonna get very far trying to buy one at that age...

i started in 2005, when i noticed a very uncanny movement of the numbers...i think that was my first 4/5 win...

i still remember the combination...

1 8 17 22 33

yeah...i was hooked after that...the only number i missed was 17...

i remember both 1 and 8 were 1 day skips... the 17 was i think out like 13 days or something...

the 22 threaded the needle fr... [ More ]

I started buying online lottery tic when I was a 19 year old sailor, continued to do so through college, and even now. I used to get all excited when jackpot reached Mega Mondo levels, but now my wisdom tells me it really doesn't matter if jackpot is $12 million, $40 million, or $650 million...all that truly matters is you having a ticket for a chance to win, and only when your ticket matches those magical six drawn numbers does the jackpot or cash value amount matter at all.

Yesterday when I was young

The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame

The thousand dreams I dreamed

The splendid things I planned

I always built alas on weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

And only now I see how the years they ran away

Yesterday when I was young

So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung

So man... [ More ]
