It's too easy for them. A previous mega millions winner even told me it was way too easy.

Just curious, did the winner also tell you all about how Unicorns elude detection so well?

I must have done something wrong in my past life. Whatever I did wrong, It had to be something really bad.

To answer the question...I haven't won because it's NOT too easy for me to win, just like you haven't won because it's not too easy for you.

But winners? It's too easy for them. A previous mega millions winner even told me it was way too easy.

Like raising tropical fish, the less you put your hands in the tank the better everything works out. If one fish is eating all the other fish admin may remove it, otherwise troll posts create more free content then everyone saying yup yup yup.

The increase was too hard. For myself I decided to decrease my budget, that is one of the reasons why I don't do the break even and win anymore. The next step is playing once in a while, and maybe stop playing. For the summer I plan not to play at all. If my income had increased with the same raise factor of the ticket price, I still might want to play it. Finally I want to spend less time on the subject. I don't want to end up with a local 5 out of 75.

Have you won a jackpot or are you talking about boxed pick 3 hits..did you win that? No state is going out of

business paying out $40 for boxed hits. And they aren't going out of business either by paying out a few million.

They wouldn't be in the business if the jackpot wasn't a drop in the bucket. Small beans. There really isn't a

need for them to change to guard against people hitting because it's too easy. They make money, easy to hit

or not.

Lucky Loser — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:14:43 GMT

The very reason lotteries are successful is because there are many more 'Losers' than winners and it applies to every single game...even the scratchers. Each game has it's own difficulty level and will produce an average number of winners and 'Losers' with occasional exceptions at times and this is how the winners get paid. I've covered this before in another topic not quite relevant to this one, but it's all the same. They make money off of all the losing tickets and distribute those funds acco... [ More ]

Mention Darwin's award, and look who responds.

The award also comes with a samll plaque on a string that you can wear around your neck. It's only fair to the people you meet, to know upfront what they're up against.

Maybe when you won, you set up a red flag?

Maybe its all your fault, they increased the cost!!! I mean before you won it was easy! Now that you had to go and be fancy pants and mastermind the game, it changed!!

Do you think powerful masters like fancy pants!!!

Well good luck to you anyway. You have ther write idea

How about those folks who finally won a jackpot after playing for perhaps 30 years?

Can that be classified as too easy? - if Yes, why did they not win it sooner?

Ask any winner if it was too easy they'd tell you it was.

They'd laugh about how they screwed those suckas out of millions.

That may be true for a few winners but as long as millions of losers continue playing lotteries they will have no trouble making a profit.

the lottery never loses money if they collect 300,000 dollars on pick three bets the payout is only shared to the winners on 150.000,dollars,, they keep 150,000 dollars, its based on parimutual betting in n.y if a number reaches a certain sell point before the drawing they will make that number not playable until the drawing is over

I don't know any lottery that is too easy to win. My desktop background shows a 5/6 win with 1633 euros win for a 6+R/42 game, when it was 50 cents for a combination. Today you pay 1 euro for a combination, the game is 6+R/45 and the latest 5/6 payed around 900 euros.

6+R/42 in 2009: combination 5/6 : 1633 win for 0.5 EUR and 4/6 win was 28.30 EUR

Seriously, I'd like to know. Winners are fleecing the lotteries left and right and making a mockery of the game. it's time for a new lottery! A 5+1 game with a matrix of 999,999,999,999 white balls, and 99,999,999 bonus balls. Oh and it would be computerized drawings. I'd like to see California win that once a month
