I've sworn them all off. Tired of throwing good money after bad. Don't miss it. I'm saving more money than I've ever won. It's the best strategy.

Forgot to answer this. I play so much on Cash4life because I am playing 10 tickets for each number 1-4 and then play 5 quick picks for $10..

I'm now boycotting Powerball bc I'm sick of subsidizing winners in New Jersey. It's especially bad bc they get to play for free in that state.

The secret to getting the most out of free plays is to use them all at once for a single drawing before your oldest free play expires.

I knew of someone who spent $600 on NYLOTTO and won $3. You're not special or different in any sense in terms of that.

Lotto is slow and not guaranteed. How you think they keep people spending

Out of all online draw games Cash4life is highest win. I won $100 twice picking my own numbers. Lets be honest free tickets are crap shoots. May I ask why you spend so much on cash4life? I buy up to 4 lines ($8.00) of Cash4life max.

ssems like in pik 3-4,if you play over due,not hit in last year,then it is a repeat number that hits a lot.

I am starting to hate Cash4life... :/ $50 spent one day and only got TWO free, tickets, which BOTH lost. Out $50 on Cash4life...:/ Spent $50 another day, and got back $10 and three free tickets. Basically out of $90 altogether

LMAO! :D I come off as such a USER when it comes to Mega Millions

I swore it off for LIFE, and as soon as I realized it was 750 million, I started willingly playing it again, and as soon as the Mega Jackpot, pun intended was won, I am claiming it is back on my Swear off, list until it climbs up substantially again! :D

Yes, you can add megamillions back to your swear off list lol. I didn't win a single dollar as the JP grew to historic amounts. I'll still by them from time to time, win or lose.

Mega Millions Jackpot has been won.... Someone won about a BILLION dollars before taxes..... Mega Millions is back to 20 Million. I think I'll put it back on my Do not play, game until it climbs up again substantially. Also, the fact that no one won all 6 numbers in FOUR MONTHS was disturbing and creepy to me...

Powerball and Mega

Supercash played 30 years everyday.

Only got 500.00 twice and a handful of 25/30.00

They are a joke.

Just makes lottery richer

Have sworn off several until they are changed but have only sworn off Poker Lotto in Michigan because it is a really stupid game.

Here it is a $2 ticket with the same odds for the top prize as Michigan daily Keno but Keno is $1 and has a $250,000 top prize and the PL has only $100,000 top prize - twice the cost and less than half the prize! Oh Boy

$30 scratchers in NY. They don't pay out for what they cost. I get big winners in $20 and $25 scratchers often enough I can get lucky and got a few in a weekend. Those $30 scratchers are fraud

Powerball/Mega Millions due to their lower-prize payouts. With some of those lower-prize payouts, I'd win more with much better odds playing the 3-ball. I also avoid games where the winning numbers are chosen by random number generator.

To get me to play one of these two games, there must be a record-breaking jackpot on a special day (basically New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, my birthday, Leap Day, Easter*, Independence Day, Thanksgiving*, Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day). Even then, I pro... [ More ]

That haves to hurt! That's why you always play your same numbers no matter how long it takes! According to the date it happened well over 20 years ago so you still may hit again. Just make sure that you have a snip ticket with those numbers when you do.

Over the long run, probably need to win at least two jackpots to break even. I see the results every day and several people use 200 lines a day and $500 winners are few and far between. It really is a jackpot or nothing game.

Ontario 649

On Aug 9 2000, I switched up my numbers after playing them for several years with little more than $10 here and there.

ON Aug 11 2000, those numbers I switched out came up. $4.4mil the very next draw. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

It was a Wednesday.

There were no winners.

That date will be burned into my brain for the rest of my life.

To answer the question, I'm trying to swear off the Holiday Raffle. I've had tickets all 13 years it's been going. The first several years I'd buy 15 or more at ten bucks each. This year I was down to 5, so I've probably spent over a thousand dollars on it, and I've never won a penny from it, and it's starting to make me mad.

I wasn't supposed to buy any this year, but then I was reminded of the odds of 1:250,000 of winning a million bucks and decided to buy just one. Then ended up with 5.... [ More ]

It is, but somehow I never win Megamillions either. I haven't sworn it off yet, but I usually only have 1 in each draw. If I have extra money I spend it on Powerball or Lucky for Life.

I had an extra $80 to play with Lottery today. I played $70 and then remembered I wanted to play 2 $5 groupers for $10. The Lottery Clerk suggested I play the new $10 Grouper rather than 2 $5 Groupers. I said, Okay, . Lo and behold, I found a MEGA MILLIONS ticket in one of the New Grouper, Sacre Bleu! O.O LMAO! The New Grouper is a DREADED $2 MEGA MILLIONS, a $2 Combo Jackpot Triple Play, a $4 Lotto ticket, a $2 Powerball, and a $1 Pick 4 ticket. All of this SHOULD be $11, but with the Grouper,
