In my state don't think it's possible for computers to do that. Congrats on winning 3 dollars.

Thanks for your response. I hear what you say about trying scratch offs for recovering money but buying scratch offs were an addiction for me when I first started playing the lottery 4 years ago. I only play scratchers with a much better mindset, will just buy one scratcher occasionally and if I win on one ticket leave the store and if I lose buy one more and take it home to scratch. My budgeting on the lottery needed to happen and I am in a much better emotional place because of my budgeting. T... [ More ]

What I meant by stating you can't win anything on PB or MM if you get two numbers was out of the 5 numbers you pick. Agree that if you count the bonus number then you can win.

Hi Shyguitar, Have you tired selecting the 18 lucky balls and let the computer pick the five white balls?

I had 2 lines--one I picked won zero. The quick pick won $3 with two white balls.

Hey, you have the right idea here regarding the numbers in general. Playing a 5/48 is vastly different from the 5/75 and I'm talking about (27) less numbers to haggle over which affords you at least a tiny bit of control of what must happen. That same amount of money on PB or MM's would've more than likely have been a complete loss as opposed to recovering $7 here. Like you said, try again later but in the mean time you can still try scratch offs to finish recovering the remaining $29. No need t... [ More ]

Thanks. That's great that you win more often on Lucky For Life. I like the fact that you can at least win 3 dollars for having 2 numbers and you can't win anything for having 2 numbers on PB and MM. Good luck to you.

I have wanted to try it myself but never did. I play this game because I win more often than I do on MM PB. Good luck in your plays

Well I did my experiment of buying 18 Lucky for Life draw tickets at 2 dollars a piece for 36 dollars. Since there are 18 lucky balls it made sense to buy 18 tickets and see my outcome. You pick 5 numbers out of 48 then you have to pick 1 lucky ball number out of 18. I tried looking at the past few months of draws to see how I wanted to pick my numbers. The difference between doing this and buying 15 mega millions tickets is the fact that with MM you have to pick 5 numbers out of 75 so that mean... [ More ]
