I'm sure they do but when they play on the prediction board, once they post they are committed to their numbers as if they brought them and can't change their minds which why I think they would still do better on paper.

you dont have to pay for the on paper predictions, where as you have to really cough up the cash for your real plays. im guessing here, but i think real plays are covering a lot less numbers than the predictions.

Same here... anemic at best is a good analogy

I think the longest I went was a few months without hitting at least a couple bucks on MM or PB

Most players win more when they play on paper than when they play for real.

Heck, most players win more when they play on paper than when they play on the prediction board.

When you play for real or on the prediction board, you can't change your numbers to what you wished you had played after the drawing. Maybe that's why players win more when they play on paper.

Probably about 1-2 weeks but that includes small prizes.

for one pool i run i think it was around a year. boy that was some drought. but it has been tempered by the week where we won something in 8 draws in a row. well a little over a weeek, but i did hope it would never end.

That last line of yours goes both ways RJOH- one could spend more and still lose more.Consider people who spent millions on the last One Winner PB jackpot. Many ended up crying a river.

I usually play 10-20 lines 3-4 times a week and buy $3000+ worth of tickets yearly. I matched 5of6 in the Ohio Classic Lotto in February for $1500 and I checked yesterday and I'm down to only $105 ahead for the year. Unless I get a big win soon I'll be in the hole next month. I usually end up $1500 in the hole every year in spite of my wins.

I could win more if I spent more but I would still end up in the hole for the year if I didn't win a jackpot.

I think about 2-3 weeks. I have noticed now that I am concentrating 90% of my number picking time more on games like decades of dollars and win for life and hot lotto (while there is still a big JP), vs the real biggies, PB and MM, my PB and MM success has been terrible. I got 3 of 6 hot lotto last week and 3 of 6 of win for life last night (a big $2 win I think). I usually get the hot lotto ball # about every 3rd time.

What's the longest you have gone without winning anything ..

For P3,since january this year....sad but true

Usual investments have been no more than $2 a day other than pay weeks where I may actually indulge in 4 -5 dollars for a given draw

It all depends on the game, how many #'s you play, and how many states you're playing in. Obviously, if you are playing

50 #'s in all states, you will have more wins more often than if you only play your home state using 10 - 20 #'s. Unless you

have a really good system which enables you to do that. But then again, how many of the 50 in all predictors are actually

playing that for real instead of just on paper? Even at .25c per # online it's an expensive proposition.... [ More ]

You hit for $1000 every two years? wow, clearly there is something that I am not doing right

To answer the op, I think I average two months to hit the bottom prizes. I don't play the scratch off tickets which I'm informed that have a higher payout

If you consider $2 a win then two drawings, if you're talking about $1000+ then two years.

Personally: 20-45 days.
