Especially when trying to conserve money. If money was not a problem I would play any combination that came to me. Even the serial numbers on my iPod would be played

Why play someone else's old set of number when you have your own old set of numbers

maringoman — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:39:14 GMT

I usually play an old set of numbers so I too would take a pass on the old mans numbers. I would note them down and check to see if they were drawn.

HoLeeKau — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:31:55 GMT

I wouldn't play the winning numbers for every drawing even if I had them. That would put the lotteries out of business pretty quickly. I'd win 2 big ones 6 months or a year apart -- keep one for me and donate one to my favorite non-profit. Buy 4 or 5 two million dollar tickets for gifts for friends. Then I'd be done with it.

If you did win every drawing, I'm not sure if you'd be arrested first, or if the lottery would be broke and out of business before that happened. But honestly, I doubt th... [ More ]

Looks like quite a few people win by sharing their predictions/systems/numbers with others in the community lol. Playing anyones number/numbers is a way to lose, as well as playing ones own. If anything, I'd feel better losing knowing they weren't my hand-picked numbers hahahaa.

Speaking of time travel, what if you had every winning result for the last two years of say, Powerball.

Then you traveled back in time, and started to win EVERY drawing..

How long before you were arrested, or taken by the government for study ?

How's that for off topic

The squirrels are good this time of year, especially the young ones.

They get that weird taste later in the year when they start eatin' all my walnuts.

I like to sit out in the holler eatin' a whole fried squirrel like a big ol' drumstick so they can all see me.

Sometimes they sit up in the walnut trees mocking me, making those annoying, chattering, clicking sounds and those spastic motions with their tails and such.

That's when I practice my quick draw with my Model 29 from my shoul... [ More ]

I would take the numbers, run them through the LP trademark flux matrix capacitor, and if they look decent I would play them.

Otherwise I would tell them, how about I give you lift to the store and you can play them for yourself. I am sure your SS check can cover the bill.

Then I would give them my phone number and tell them

Hey if you win money you can just send a check here. Thank you! And have a nice day!

Had lunch with a friend today after a busy morning and hadn't had a chance to look over any P3/P4 Va stuff. Stopped at Sheetz to play the trips for .50 and somebody had 6 cards filled out exact and any 662 that had left them lying on the counter. I played it both ways, you just never know what somebody else knows?! ---7 bucks.

That was Vegas Vacation and the old guy died after seeing his Keno ticket win. When Clark (Chevy Chase) was deciding if he should pick up the ticket and cash it, Mr. Ellis (Sid Caesar) winked at him.

That happened in a fictionional story/movie with Chevy Chase. Chevy is about broke when some old guy breathing one of his last few breaths gives Chevy one ticket from a lottery drawing for that night at the casino before he collapses. Once the winning numbers are shown, Chevy remembers the numbers he saw on the ticket were the winning numbers, but he's is reluctant to take it from a now dead man and claim it. He eventually justifies it and claims the ticket.
