Its been working great for me with Pick 3.l have yet to employ that technique for the jackpots...

Thanks for asking..

THRIFTY — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:15:51 GMT

I play sporadically for any jackpot amount. Winning a $300M jackpot feels great, but winning a $20M jackpot would be amazing.

How is that method working for you

noise-gate — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:41:35 GMT

Finally someone has got it. I have been trying to tell these folks, including that Prince fella that you have go think in reverse. Fill out your slip, take a gander at those numbers and discard the ticket and start again. but will they listen?- oh no!

Yet here they are mourning about their misfortunes , hey- I tried.

haymaker,

Sometimes I get a QP and then play another set of numbers using an Oakland Raiders flea-flicker approach to the QP, something like +1, +4, -6, +7, -2 applied to the QP numbers.

PS,

Hasn't worked yet.

Thrifty doesn't play the lotto. He just dreams about it.

Thrifty, I also bought just 1, and forgot the MP now I'm done til it's a least 300 again.

THRIFTY — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:39:13 GMT

Ironically, I bought one ($1 Mega Millions Quick Pick Ticket ). We still have Monopoly Millionaires' Club and Powerball.

haymaker — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 13:55:18 GMT

I like that idea, a kinda reverse psychology, maybe I'll try that next time I want more than just a QP.

Reply #32

Todd — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 13:04:57 GMT

It's definitely not THRIFTY, because he only bought one ticket.

Reply #31

helpmewin — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 13:01:55 GMT

Great idea next time I'm going to try and pick some numbers that i think won't win instead of trying to pick the numbers that i think is going to win then maybe they will win

I see Cali almost won again.

noise-gate — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 05:49:13 GMT

What do you mean by if this keeps happening - are you suggesting that jackpots should not be won, and if they are won, it's must be winners from States other than the ones you mentioned?

How are CA NY players responsible for residents of other States not picking the winners?That's like telling a Shark to take a nap, to quit swimming.

bigbear29 — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 01:10:24 GMT

I play quick picks also.

Reply #27

noise-gate — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 01:01:21 GMT

The solution to your particular problem is to quit picking the losing numbers.

When you were hunched over the counter filling out your playslip- did you at any time tell yourself that you going to win with those specific numbers? If you did, you were lying to yourself- its that simple.

If it brings you any comfort- there are millions of other lottery losers out there.

Would be good to know and be reassured.

All of the conspiracy talk reminds me of the time that Dilbert's boss freaked out because he found out that 40% of sick days were being taken on Mondays and Fridays.

Over a long time a state selling 20% of tickets should have 20% of the winners. Anyone checked the statistics

I don't know, where do you live? I have noticed that there were no lines to buy MM or PB.

You'd have to be a moron to think that, since only CA and NY sell winning tickets.

I wonder if PB MM sales could be negatively impacted if this keeps happening. People might just say Forget these games, it's hopeless unless you're from CA or NY

I want to see a small state like North Dakota or Oklahoma win Powerball.

I think Michigan is up for a big win

Reply #14

bigbear29 — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:13:17 GMT

I think? That is why they put out the new Monopoly game to have a money making game with more winners. Still to be seen. You might be right about New York, but I put Penn. up instead of New York.

Reply #13

pickone4me — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:01:42 GMT

Interesting picks, I still think they could pull off a new york win again ( or california ), that foolishness will hopefully make more stop playing. Then the big states can play against each other. People need to play their own state jackpot lotteries, it has much lower odds then the big few state lotteries.

The way things are going with the same states and with only 1 winner, it will not happen in my life time. I think it's been 15 + years as far as me playing the lottery.
