Feel guilty about playing??? Dont do that to yourself!! Have FUN with it. I consider playing a challenge, sure I watch how much I spend, but if I win, then I feel great! Budget? What's a budget? By that, I certainly dont mean that I have so much money that I dont need to use a budget for playing the lottery. It's just that I'm too lazy (stupid would be a better word) to bother. Even if I had one, I'd never stick to it. No self discipline. I just make darn sure I dont get nuts with how much I

I usually ignore your postings (certainly in this thread) as a waste of hot air. But I suppose that nonsensical remark deserves a response, even though it reflects more on your character than on mine. I posted the following at https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/262010/3100463 on June 5: ``Actually, that demonstrates that neither of my passes is correct. I'll have to look for a programming error later. [....] Sorry for the misdirection.`` Moreover, I did not say that __I__ answered Gwoof's

Woman who let Powerball winner go ahead of her has no regretsReply
Some years ago, there was a huge JP and a lottery pool at particular workplace. The guy assigned to buy the tickets that day, went to a newstand to make the purchase. Someone cut in front of him in the line, and he didn't want to make a scene so he let the guy go ahead and purchase the tickets. Then he purchased his. He was the one who won the JP and split millions with his coworkers. Everyone laughed and said if the guy hadn't cut ahead of him, he wouldn't have been able to get the winni

FYI, Gwoof, when the bonus number is included (i.e. a draw

Universal filters programs for cash 5 kinds of games?Reply
Here's a screen shot of the filters you wrote about. I do treat the bonus ball as non-existent when dealing with games that have them. Anytime the ball is drawn from a separate pool, it is the same as having a second drawing independent of the first. The labels should be understandable. But just in case, EOTTL = Even/Odd Total, LF = Left front digit, PAT = Lo/Mid/High pattern and EOPOS is Even/Odd Positioning. Here's a shorter form to show which is more active throughout the history of

Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
It was a shot in the dark at 175 million to one. It'll be a shot in the dark at 258 million to one. It ain't like you ever really had a good shot at it anyway. Todd once explained beating the current odds as akin to getting struck by lightning while being eaten by a shark. And now it'll be like being struck by lightning while being eaten by a shark while in your tool shed eating mayonnaise out of the jar with a pool cue with Oprah on your back. Know what I'm sayin'?

I wasnt gonna play tonite. I mean I got 18 lines workin' in PB tonite (the office pool) and I'm a little low on cash. (so what else is new?) But we're outta milk, so I make a run to the store. I get the milk, go to the counter to pay for it, and you know what happened dont you? I see a T5 playslip right there in the rack by the lottery terminal and the cash register. But then I think to myself Ah, you didnt even look at the numbers tonite, you dont even know what to play. But I grabbed

Litigation Proofing your lottery poolReply
Thank you. Some constructiveness I am hoping the electronic trail will bolster the fact that they new as well as everyone else new they were not in BEFORE THE FIRST DRAWING. And they waited until after we hit to say anything. Personal tickets that are not divisible by 20 and the fact it can be shown that everyone had copies of the tickets BEFORE THE FIRST DRAWING should add some weight with the judge. Plus I have proof of the turdheads fragmented participation over a 3 year period.

Pari-Mutuel PowerballReply
Not even close to right. With multistate games only the jackpot prize is a game involving other states. All of the other prizes are completely independent of what happens in other states. Each participating state collects the money from the tickets sold by that state, and contributes a percentage of the money towards the jackpot prize. For PB and MM it's about 32%. The rest of the money is kept within the state to pay all of the other prizes, the cost of running the game, and profit to the lo
