Is it just me or have Winnings practically stopped across the boards?

Ok, I am not nuts I asked the convenience store clerk tonight if she had noticed a downtick of cashing in winning tickets. Astoundingly she said she HAD noticed a big difference with fewer winnings by customers and she even had a notepad that she was keeping track of her lottery stuff on. I asked her why and she said she was in s statistics class in college and was looking at the lottery for a paper she was doing. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO That was interesting.

Yes and it filled me with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Very little money though.

My current residence has 4 tires on it and they're all flat.

But when I hit the big one I'm gettin' a new set of Michelins

I'm a Marriage Counselor (part time, on the side) who's been divorced 5 times but hey, nobody's perfect.

And I seen fire and I seen rain.

Money, wimmins, gamblin', lottery, lovin', fightin', drinkin', honky-tonkin' or just kickin' and a gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer, it don't make no never-mind.

I'm here to testify that you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

Know when to walk away and when to run.

You can't learn no better'n that, bet me a dollar.... [ More ]

I agree the odds are stacked against you. I have just in the last week started to ask other players at the lottery machine as I come and go if thy have noticed a downturn in winnings and almost to a person, they all look kinda surprised and say yeah I thought it was just me...

Scratch-offs depend on the state and dollar amount from 1:5 down 1:3 range. Better off to play newer games when they initially come out as more wins are probable, to entice players(based on personal experience over the las... [ More ]

You're ok don't buy into Joe Biden there trying to rationalize the whole deal ect I agree with you

youre not nutty or an addict.. ... once they smell you winning or a lot of people winning

they immediately go into action to stop it...did you see all the winners with that 0000 combo ?

Maybe it's only rigged for you.

Ok my strategy is to always play the same numbers in each game over and over with the mathematical probability of hitting going up each time, however small that probability is. Over time the winnings have very slowly grown to a point where they were almost paying for about 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of the tickets. THEN... Suddenly a few weeks ago I quit winning practically anything ACROSS the board. I play 6 games and three scratchers again, consistently, and wow practically nothing. What caused me to... [ More ]

No, the lottery is not rigged. What happened is that you experienced a lucky streak. This caused an irreversible change in your brain chemistry which is commonly called addiction. This change in your brain chemistry is irreversible, it will never go away. Now that you are permanently addicted, your luck has run out and you are doomed to a lifetime of gambling addiction and the ups and downs of fortune. Just like all the rest of us, including the folks who are in a state of denial.

I agree I used to play an instant ticket game in no and I won almost 300 or more every month for over a year

all of a sudden zilch for months now ...my theory is. In my state you can now play these games on line and I think everybodiesgrabbin up all the prizes by playing big lots with their credit cards..most my theory

scratchers too ...I've seen people chucking hundreds into the machine at a time also people are buying whole packs of the scratchers at a time so......yup I'm with yuh....s... [ More ]

In the last 6 to 8 weeks ago my winnings have dropped off to NOTHING! I usually play the big three Powerball Mega Millions and Lotto America. In addition lucky for life and Weekly grand. I have a disciplined approach of playing only a specific set of numbers I have devised from historical data. 6 to 8 weeks ago my winning anything came to an abrupt halt. Scratch-offs included. Is anyone else experiencing this
