Since 1984 when the lottery first started in WA state. Lucky for me they didn't card me. Haven't won yet though.

i've been playing for 2 and a half years. the most i've ever won on a single ticket is $500.50. the most i've ever won in a month is well over $1500 in october of 2002. and as money usually does things to some people, i pissed it away within a month.

I've been playing Powerball and Mega Millions since October 2003 and so far all I got back was $24 (one $7 Powerball; one $3 Powerball; one $10 Mega Millions; one $4 Powerball).

I've been playing the lotto in Illinois for 30 years now.The most that I have ever won at one time is $78.00. I would estimate that I've dropped close to $10,000 on the lotto over the past 30 years.There have been times when I've played as much as $20 a game. But mostly, I play about $5 per week. If I don't win soon, I'll be to old to enjoy the money.

Hi Fast Eddie...I've been playing the lottery for 15 to 20 years. The longest rest I took was when I was in the Flood of the Century in 1999, and that was a 4 month rest. The lottery then took a back seat! The lottery is my hobby. I don't smoke or drink up my money, nor do I go bowling. So, as far as I'm concerned, this is my fun. Yes, I too am hooked, but it's a controlled hook...and I watch my number budget carefully. I only play over my budget when I win.

playing about 2 months..though not every draw..and not every day..I have won once so far, but not straight..yes I have spent a little more then I won so far..I see the key to putting money in your pocket is straights..and at least once a week. a box here and there won't get you no where..at best break even..the key to straights is a good system and to wage big..many numbers are a more likely win..means more bucks!It seems some make a living playing pick 3 as they seem to say..but who knows.I am...
