Hi again ... yes, I did join earlier but hardly ever posted anything ... mostly just reading for some insight on what others are doing. Don't do Facebook or anything either. I was suprised when I was listed as a New Member but just left it go, just thought I hadn't posted enough or my earlier one or two posts had been purged from the system. Didn't intend to mislead anyone.

Old people do get on my nerves, I've been trying not to become one but it's like being bit by a Zombie, you can clean... [ More ]

Yes and the hardest thing is to avoid the temptation to go over budget. God knows that's my biggest problem. I try to do advanced play as much as possible.

I would play one line per game for PB, MM. Then on tuesdays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays I'd play one line of Cash 5. About $10 a week

... you are so right about Lady Luck ... she waits for no one and may never smile on you again, especially an older person!

Yeah, glad I ain't an older person, they always smell like moth balls or talcum powder.

Glad to hear from you rdgrnr ... always enjoy reading your posts from TN, I take it that's Walt Whitman or someone that resembles him ... anyway, that has been my thinking, having all the games covered at all times ... I'm still fine tuning everything for March and may just spend $6 (3 tickets) on the 9 Mega Millions drawings next month. I have considered playing the extra dollar on the Power Ball ... I'm still not sure how to play the smaller Cash 5 and Treasure Hunt games ... I may just contin... [ More ]

Hi ... well like I said in my original post, my budget varies from month to month depending on any ROI. I can see missing some games once in awhile if a person is youngish ... 20's, 30's, 40's but as the years start to get a little slim, I hate to pass up on a drawing. I feel like, once it's gone ... it's gone. Like I said, a younger person can pass on some games or maybe a lot of games, they still have all the time in the world to get that one big hit ... but someone older looks at things from... [ More ]

I believe in keeping your foot in the door on all of 'em (at least one line).

Cuz you never know when and where Lady Luck is gonna smile down on ya and if you ain't there when she does she just moves on.

And she don't come around all that often.

Welcome to Lottery Post duffy$

Your budget per month is bigger than mine, I think playing your state games is a good start,

it's just better odds, but don't stop playing the bigger games, you don't have to play them all the time.

I'd like to get some input or a real disscussion going on what games to play or how much people spend on what they play or how they spend it. Ok ... I live in PA and for the last 6 or 7 years I have concentrated on playing the five large jackpot games that the state offers with hardly much success. I have had some small hits with the largest being $1000 on the Match 6 in 2008. Been playing the PA Lottery since it started 40 yrs ago and not much return to show for it. I started off mostly with pl... [ More ]
