i also divide the numbers in the jackpot amount (the digits before the zeroes) by 10, and round to the nearest whole number to determine how many tickets i play.

If the MM jackpot is big enough, I get one of each to cover all the bases and make winning a sure thing. I also have a 1 year season ticket that I picked myself.

For some games, I generally choose my own numbers. That way, when I watch the drawing, or hear the numbers read on the radio, I can usually tell whether or not I had any winning numbers, or more likely would have won if I played.
