On my 6/39 state game (daily) I've hit 5of6 8 times. 3 of those the 6th number was one digit off. All wins were self picks. been playing since mid 90's most of the time. GOOD LUCK

Tonight on the PA Match 6, I tried a system pick from my new followers program... all 6 numbers I picked failed to show, but on the 3rd line (lines 2 and 3 are QP) i had 5 of 6. The Jackpot was 1.6M, the 5/6 only pays 1k. So this (5/6) is the closest I have ever been to a jackpot in over 20 years of on and off playing (mostly off).

The ticket also pays for matches on all 3 lines, so I had 7 matches of 18 which pays an additional $25 (had a 30 on line 2 and 3)

I had all 6 winning numbers

I used to work with this bartender/ waitress hostess manager at a restaurant years ago. She was really cool, from the south, she claimed her sister was dating this construction guy and no joke, I wanted to find out and might never know, he would play $3-$10 on pick 3 and pick 4. He won so much money but that was about that. Crazy. not sure if anything and her sister actually dumped him. i was like what. I want to know.

This is true story about me and my cousin.

It wasn't the lo... [ More ]

Had 4 numbers on a state lottery 2 different times over the last 15-18 years.. Payout was around $50ish amount. Had a 2nd place where I got 4/5 with a whole bunch of people so,the main jackpot was split between all, that was about an $850ish check from the lottery...No scratchers for claimers(only$500 or less) or Big game(PB or MM) claimers for this participant( YET

In the 1980's I lived in Ohio. The lotto game at the time was 6/40? or close.

Got 5/6 numbers for about $900.

Here in Texas, several years ago I played 2 lines on our lotto game and got 4 on the first line and 2 on the second.

This past Monday, 32, 34, 37, 39, 47 PB# 3 Power Play 2 x were drawn.

I had a PowerBall ticket (with Power Play) that matched three of the five white balls 32, 37, 39.

My ticket had 2 as the PowerBall number. The PB # was 3. Close but no cigar.

I won $14.

Back in 2014, I purchased a five line ticket and had all six winning numbers on the ticket. Just not all on the same line. I did have four numbers together on one line for $500 and the Mega number on another for $1 for a tot... [ More ]
