I635 is often a traffic nightmare, depending on time of day. A lot of construction, although it's close to being done. I only drive it if I have to go to the corporate office, which is once or twice a year.

I40 is no where near Dallas, so if you are driving it, no worries. It runs through the panhandle, so you could stop and say hi to mikeintexas.

Is there a reason you avoid North Dallas, AND does it affect anyone driving along I40, through Amarillo, etc?

I ask because of two things:

You mention that you avoid it like the plague, which I do myself (regarding areas around here), It's the road-trip I plan to take some in 2017.

I really do admire and respect the lengths that many LP members go through to 'figure' your numbers, but, I don't spend much time trying to figure it all out - it's just too overwhelming for me.

So, I have my standard set of numbers, and my random numbers, which I play every week. I'm about evenly split between self picks (my self picks super rarely ever change), and random picks.

The key word is odds. The powerball def has bigger odds. The mega millions is also a hit or miss.

I have a found another way. The object is adding and subtracting the month, date and yr and if anything in the pyramids ex. the number 4 has been hit a lot including the 40's.

Unfortunately, a lot of other players did buy their tickets there and didn't get lucky either.

The reason I don't play the smaller drawings anymore is because PB and MM massively jacked up the odds on the 2nd place prize. For MM, it used to be 1 in 3.9M for $250k which would be multiplied if you paid the extra dollar. Not great odds, but workable. Now its 1 in 17M for $1M.

PB used to be 1 in 5.3M for $1M. Now it is 1 in 11M which is terrible given the tickets are $2 each. I'll play once it hits $300M+ and it worth throwing away the few dollars.

This was all done to make the games mo... [ More ]

Good luck to you, maybe then you can respond to all those new folks who keep showing up asking has any LP members ever won a large jackpot and how they did it.

QP in north Dallas.

Unfortunately, I did not buy my ticket there as I try to avoid that area like the plague.

Actually, I'll be winning the Powerball here in the next few weeks, so that should make you happy.

Welp, you're right. There's been one 2nd place silver medal holder.

While that is true, you forgetting about the payment to payout value.

I don't have much money to spend, i may as well wait until it reaches a truly life changing amount of money. If tickets were free, why not play every draw? But they aren't.

As much as I want to win either MM or PB, and either 1st or 2nd prize,

it's even more disheartening to see un-awarded prizes.

Nobody will ever win those unclaimed prizes. This time, twice in a week.

Some of you may say: I like to see the prize accumulate. . . .

Accumulate to what? I think for the vast of majority of LP members here,

if someone was to offer him/her $600,000.00, after taxes, they'd stop coming here (well maybe, not really sure).

I'm not saying any of you... [ More ]
