hi, ok, you have jackpot reach crazy level, and you want to spent $50 on tickets. random tickets issued by corporation we will skip from this discussion.

to sit and fill 50 own tickets is quite boring. to use full wheel like 6-from-8 or 6-from-9 (lotto649 game) not very efficient. use abbreviated wheel fitting budget - better idea. using keyed system, when you lock some numbers and make combo with other numbers is another way. take any game, 3 numbers not that hard to guess sooner or later, s...

I don't think people who play the lottery are worried about 180 bucks when it comes to ink, paper, excel(microsoft fees), lottery program costs or anything else they might pay for. Many of us enjoy crunching the numbers and printing out or saving our data. It's the ticket costs that accumulate over weeks and months that annoys the players.

Interesting, Cmoore50. $15/mo. If all those items were done for you, you'd save $180/yr.

hi,

filling up actual tickets is third part of process. can be solved by printing them on empty slips. tools available for this on net.

creating combinations thats where hard is. if you using wheel you need to substitute wheel numbers with your own numbers, or playing nfl pool (in ontario) make boxing combinations. then transfer on paper without mistakes !

and of course, hardest part is still need to pickup winning numbers ;)

so long way to go to win in any lottery

Maybe 15 bucks a month.

I completely agree lottologix! Newbiness is a real thing. I cringe every time a new clerk attempts to scan my betslips.

Cmoore50, you have me thinking about another issue - How much do you spend monthly on lottery resources. Not the game itself (stuff like ink, paper, cartridges, etc).

Ah, this is similar our Fantasy 5. I've had scant success with this game - $2 - $5 here and there.

Biggest issue is the store clerks acting like its their first day and either printong too many slips or taking too long to print slips.

My printer was 50 bucks. I get ink mailed to me automatically when the cartridge is low. 100 pages is 4.95...300 pages is 9.95 a month for the ink. I used to use legal sized paper (14 x 8.5) so I could print more of my lottery data and it would still only be considered one page.

Rolling cash five is Ohio's 5/39 game.

Well, if you don't have a capable printer, you still can fill them out manually... but as cheap as printers are nowadays, buying one should be in the strategy of saving time... usually any printer that can print onto an envelope will do...

Unlucky-Kenny, thanks for the response.

1) How long des it take you to fill out the slips? I still work a 9-5, and have a young family, so I'm always rushing.

2) So your state has larger font for it's betslips?

3) Interesting. If I understand correctly, your game has =2 options? I am not familiar with a game that has 2 options.

4) Good point!

5) True. I often have difficulty reading the filled out betslip. Hard to see the numbers selected.

Cmoore50, I like this part I'd figure out a way to scan the cards and fill them out on the screen automatically through excel. Then print them out..They should scan at the store.

I spend about $50/$100 day so any tool simplifying the process like you communicated sounds great. What is rolling Cash Five? Is that similar to Pick5

Stat$talker, thanks for the feedback. I like the time-saving approach, but doesn't that still create paper waste?

What if you don't have a printer handy

Exactly rcbbuckeye! I can't tell you how many times I've done something similar. Thanks for the feedback.

Well again, ...

That's why I love using Lotto Pro ...it has a feature whereby you can input the betslip measurements in that particular section of the Program, it will then print your number selections right onto your game's betslips... saving alot of time, especially if you're in a Lottery Pool,... plus it's always accurate...

Data Solutions will post the dimensions of your State's Game's betslip measurements on their Website, if you send them about 30-35 blank betslips..but that's provi... [ More ]

I've always thought if I were to bet hundreds of dollars a day on the rolling cash five. That's if I had won already and figured out a good angle to play. I'd figure out a way to scan the cards and fill them out on the screen automatically through excel. Then print them out..They should scan at the store.

1) I fill my slips out @ home to avoid this specifically - I don't want to be rushed

2) my state's slips are pretty good and easy to see - but I feel like if you were at home filling them out its easier to take time to look at it

3+5) the main game I play has no other options so I can't screw that one up

4) The pens I use are quick drying so that is avoided - Uniball Onyx Micro, Pilot Juice Up 04, Pilot Precise RT V7 and V10, etc etc

6) its just paper - at the end of the day if we us... [ More ]

Usually don't have issues with bet slips but a couple weeks ago I was playing Cash 5 and checked the void box instead of QP box. That's from not wearing my glasses...lol.

Lottery Post Family-

Thanks in advance for reading.

This is my first post on a difficult subject: What are the challenges when filling out betslips manually (by hand)?

I wanted to gauge the Top 10 concerns regarding the aforementioned.

I'll start.
