I moved to California and will not play the lottery there until they replace their random number generators with balls. I think the nearest ball state is Texas (as opposed to the nearest Ball State, which is in Muncie, Indiana, in a state whose lottery uses RNGs).

I did, however, play Nebraska's MyDaY game when I moved cross-country in May, even though it is an RNG game. I played it because dates were what sucked me into the lottery in the first place. I wagered $10 and won $6, and so I lost... [ More ]

Just added up my tix for 2017, spent a total of $532 had a return of $276 = $256 loss.

The LFL game was my best... spent $138 had a return of $205.

Not exactly profitable gambling, but I won a 7/7 on national KENO this year.

Wishing everyone a happy new year

My Lotto Year: Just spent watching the numbers and backtesting, I didn't play at all.

My lottery year went fairly well with a number of small Powerball wins and a $100 win with numbers I picked, a first for me. My lottery budget is $50 per month and is spent exclusively on Powerball. I'm planning to visit my family in Michigan next year. Haven't been there since 2012.

2017 ended up being an ok year for me. My biggest win was a 4 of 6 in the Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler game for a $100 winner back in February. I also hit one of those in 2016. Other than that I had my usual bunch of $2-$20 winners while sticking to my $100 net per month lottery budget. The year isn't over yet so here's hoping for something special.

As the saying goes given an infinite amount of time anything with a non zero probability will happen eventually.

Exactly. The $50,000 powerball winner was sold at a store 25 miles from town! I looked in that town and they did not list the winner there.

I then noticed how really padded the winners list is for my town.

I noticed because the tickets have been really, really terrible lately. It is not just me as I have talked with numerous other players and they tell me just how bad they have had it here too for the last year or so.

If you look and google the store name you will find out wher... [ More ]

I used to live in Warren. I took a look at the list and as far as I could tell all of the retailers were in Warren. Is your complaint that the list for your city contains retailers not located there

Now a days many people are using bitcoin rather than using cash money.

They base it on where the ticket was actually sold. Otherwise they would have to list every city in the world in case someone from out of state or out of country won.

Neither, the LP prediction list is based on LP member predictions for any state(s) they may choose to predict for.

Hey, Think, is the winners list based on where the winners live or where they purchased their ticket

BobP — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 08:32:35 GMT

Funny I had a similar thought to see of any LP Predictors had predicted a jackpot. Not hard to check because anyone winning millions in LP bucks would be at the top of the list. Sorry to say I didn't find even one, but I think it may be in part because it is so easy to predict for Pick-3/4 all states while the bigger games must be predicted game by game. Also because I believe it would take a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand to really do it right. The WV 6/25 is the only game where 50 p... [ More ]

Investing in Bitcoin on the Stock Market is not the same as using the Bitcoin Wallet.

I have bought my last tickets for 2017 this week one for mega millions and one for powerball on the 12th and the 13th respectively. I managed to lose my $100 every month for 2017 on Oregon megabucks and powerball and mega millions. But I think that in 2018 I want to go to the casino more and spend time with family and gamble that way will we are at the casinos here in Oregon. Either Spirit Mountain Casino in Grande Ronde, Oregon or Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, Oregon on the coast.-wesha... [ More ]

But that's my whole point. Had you kept those bitcoins in a company wallet, you could have possibly been taken. I'm not sure, the process isn't like putting money in a bank, there are many steps you have to take to open a wallet and make sure that wallet has a security you can trust.

Yeah, but have you heard of all the scams out there? They transferred millions into one wallet. This happened with three of the biggest cases. Saw this on RT news recently, and that's just the big ones. Not to mention, all three of those companies boasted about their top notch security systems..lol

If you had bought $1,000 of Bitcoin in July 2010, when the price stood at $0.05, you would now have a stash worth $46 million

Well through November I won back about 23% of what I played. I'm going to end up spending around $2100 for the year. Not great but I play all the jackpot games, along with Daily 4, the occasional scratchoff, and occasionally All or Noting and Triple Chance, which are smaller jackpot games costing $2 a ticket.

I know I could probably win more small wins playing Pick 3 and playing Daily 4 boxed, (I usually play straight only), but, I like to play for more meaningful money, like, retirement mone... [ More ]

With 20 days left I thought I would review the year here in lottery.

It has been a particularly bad year here so I went on the Michigan lottery website to the winners near you feature and set the date back to 1 Jan and the prize amount to $5000 for all games.

I noticed 6 wins listed for my city but I also noticed that the MSL is padding the information for my town as 2 of the wins did not even occur here.

The biggest win listed ($50,000 PB) for my town actually occurred at a st... [ More ]
