I've used mine, my wife's, and my SS#, but one worked. My wife won on Pick 4 twice in one week using my birthday. I won once using our anniversary. Anything that works I guess.

$1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot hits milestone for 3rd timeReply
Great info. It is possible, but others have the same birthday, anniversary, etc., so the winner may end up sharing but with $1billion, multiple winners could still walk away with a good amount of money. I won $16 on one of my tickets so I'll be playing at the Powerball's expense tomorrow! Good luck to all!

$50 scratch-off lottery trend takes off in multiple statesReply
I wouldn't be surprised if Massachusetts brings out a $50 ticket in a couple of months - April is already the month in which they bring in a new $30 ticket (the current most expensive amount), and this year April marks the Lottery's 50th anniversary. Of course, having now said that, watch me end up with egg on my face. Would I play it? Maybe if I had a $50 winner - I doubt I'd put $50 of new money into buying one.

Merry ChristmasReply
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all LP members. This Christmas is different and harder. Some here know, some don't, but I lost my wife on Nov 12, 2 days before our 45th anniversary, after a 15 month battle with Leukemia. It came straight out of the blue when she was diagnosed. Christmas was her very favorite time of the year. I tell you all this not for pity. We all have good and bad in our lives. Just love and live each day with your family like it's your last.
