The Red Powerball Quick Pick OptionReply
I have bought Mega Millions tickets for groups in the past and I have tried two different approaches.One approach is to buy all the Mega balls. One time I collected $100 for the office pool and bought 104 tickets because I was guarenteed to win at least $4. This way one gets to buy more tickets especially for very large jackpots rather than spend the $4 in the following draw for a small jackpot. The size of the jackpot matters when dealing with office pools. The jackpot was so large at the time

NY Lotto inching closer to all-time highReply
The total prize pool is 40% of sales. I don't even think of playing it until the jackpot reaches $35 million.

Pool players ponder Powerball hypocrisyReply
There's a pool tournament that I know of that the winning team splits $16,000 at the end of it.

What would you do with your new fortuneReply
it also depends on how much you win. what if you have the only winning ticket? what if you have to split the jackpot with 1, or 2, or 3 other winners? what if you are in a pool, and the pool happens to have the ticket? what if, the day after you win, your estranged ex-girlfriend approaches you, telling you that you may be the father of her kid, that was born 17 years ago? child support will be taken out of the check in some states. there are a lot of things to think about before you think a

Buying Tickets??Reply
I, too head up the Offfice Pool where I work; (hence my Handle), and we work it differently. Everyone in the Pool takes their turn. But I do agree, it helps to know the clerks. And you have to tell them exactly what you want. Now I don't know how to do their jobs, but a few have been known to get mad at me, like it's my fault that they can't give me the right tickets. It pays to just give them the computer card/betting slip Even for quick picks.Patronize freindly stores only.

I have been paying for about 10 years since it started in Texas. As soon as Pick 3 came available I dropped the Lotto 6 and concentrated on the Pick 3. That's about all I play now except since getting my lottery software I've been fooling around a little with the Texas Two Step. The Two Step is a game where you have 4 numbers from a pool of 35 and a Bonus Ball from another pool of 35. Pick 3 is lots easier to track because you only have 10 digits and 3 positions....1st, 2nd and 3rd. It's tho
