2016 was terrible hellible for me...but this was the first year I've started playing lottery. I played my first powerball ticket when the news was a buzz with the billion dollar jackpot up last January.

The most I won was $50 off a $10 scratcher. However, I've won a handful of prizes between $10-35 with scratch offs. The draw games, the most I've hit has been 3 numbers right...but usually only 2. I've done everything: megamillions, powerball (not as often), cash4life, state lotteries, etc. q... [ More ]

Congrats Dracos!! I'm late to the conversation, but wow! I'm glad to see you're doing what I'd do in this situation. Paying off my debt!! So happy for you

Played the same numbers all year in the Jackpot games. Roughly $1000 dollars totaled in the pool. Best we did was 3 +1, which pays only $50. Maybe about twelve 3/5 and lots of bonus ball alone. We have not played in 2017 yet.

I've been playing alot recently, but I plan on slowing down. I'm hoping to ease off scratchers, or at least get to the point where maybe I'll spend $100 every two weeks.

Dracos, luv that 100k hit, big time congrats. curious, do you still plan to play instant tickets in 2017? seems like that 100k winner would be hard to top.

Ahead, thanks to this ticket I found on November 19th. This was my first year playing scratchoffs or any type of lottery, but I played very hardcore. I also found 5 $1k winners over the year, plenty of $500 winners, and of course $100 winners don't really make me react anymore.

I used the winnings to pay off student loans, buy a new car, paid for a sibling's tuition for a couple of semesters, and spoiled other family very heavily this holiday season.

Overall, I'd say I was up m... [ More ]

I didn't play that much at all in 2016 or 2015.

Plan on getting back into the game this year

The good news is I won $1092.

The bad news is I lost $1680.

My goal this year is to keep my spending to about $1200 for the year.

And to win a jackpot.

I won three four number hits from oregon lotto for about $500 bucks and powerball I won about $50 and mega millions I won about $30. The casino I won about $2000 over the year but ended up putting all back into lotto games and more casino time. So down and out as usual.-weshar75

savagegoose — Mon, 02 Jan 2017 19:36:01 GMT

guess i should discuss the numbers...

this isnt all my money its 3 pools i run, so i only lost a percentage of the total. but this is the total that ran thru my hands.

of biggest interest is the fact monday and wed are intrinsically the same game, but monday performed much worse.

as they say C'Est la Vie

i look forward to a better 2017 My keno should get cheaper as i started only spending $1 a day on it instead of 2 towards the 3rd quarter of last year. a plan i intend to keep up in... [ More ]

I did really well on the California pick 3 mid-day drawing on Friday Sept 23, 2016. I was on assignment in Merced and brought 5 pick 3 tickets straight and chose 907 straight for my area code in Alaska. Lo and behold the drawing for that day was 907. I couldn't believe my eyes when I checked the numbers online. That day was a good day! Since California is paramutial each ticket was worth $559.00. I had to go to 5 different stores to cash in but the total was $2785.00 for the day. Hopefully I can... [ More ]
