Realistically, 12 chances out of 175 million ain't much better than 8 chances out of 175 million.

I'd put the extry buck on 8 tickets rather than get 12 tickets without it, cuz you're much more likely to win 2nd or 3rd prize than the jackpot, if by a miracle you achieve even that.

Haven't most of us been in this bread line since 08

Hopefully relief will be on the way in a couple of months.

snip I only have until 9:59... unless the lotto people are lazy and just turn off the machine early. I had a guy once, I walked into the store, with my cards, and he's like, f'in ... S man i just turned off the machine

I was like, well turn that sucker back on so you can make your $0.50 on my $10 worth of tickets. Chop Chop...

Excellent idea mcginnin56, except we may have to get into a bread line

Why pay for anything.

I'm in the process of negotiating my lottery tickets for free, by giving my state free word of mouth advertising.

My message will be simple, clear and direct. Play the lottery, so I can get my tickets for free.

The lottery director should be returning my call this morning with the good news! Try it with your state.

The multiplier doesn't help the JP so why really pay it

I won $10,000 on PB. If I had played the multiplier I would have won $40,000.

BUT!

The winning ticket was the last of 12 tickets that I played.

So if I would have played the multiplier I probably would have played 6 tickets and would have won NOTHING!

You are better off play without the multiplier and buy extra tickets with the saved money.

Just my opinion.

what are the chances of winning on ea of the 5 lines? best you can hope for is win on 1 line, and lose $4 on the others.

Congratulations, you are in win-win situation now. You either win something or save 5 bucks.

I've counted tickets for the last month on PM and MM and thought how great that in majority of the cases I dind't spend that extra 1/5/10/20/30/40 bucks on multipliers.

In the famous words of THRIFTY: 50% chance you can win, 50% chance you can lose.

(Sounds more like my weather forecaster, flipping a coin to decide whether to predict rain or not.

I have to do the same after I make out the play slips.

That reminds me, I need to scurry down and get some bonus ball 25 tickets. The multiplier wont help my on the big prize.

Good luck! Just checked your states lotto website, MM tickets can be sold until 10:45 PM. Drawings are at 11:00 PM Tuesdays and Fridays.

That's brilliant... Why didn't I think of that? I think I have until 9pm for tonights draw but I don't feel like leaving the house. It's allright, gonna try not to worry about it.

Or you could march right back out the door, and pick up the same numbers again with the multiplier.

If your numbers come in, your way ahead now with two sets of identical tickets.

I forgot to get the multiplier

I bought my 5 MM tickets earlier and I forgot to get the multiplier. I remembered after she gave me the tickets... gonna be upset if my numbers come in and I didn't play the extra buck
