  Since we have two draws per day Monday thru Saturday and I play both draws at an average play of $20, you do the math.  When 666 came out in Texas I won $1000 and when 888 came out I won $500.  All this happened within a couple of days.  I put the money in the bank and bought something that I always wanted.  Everytime I have a decent win I buy something rather than giving the money back.

  It is better to open your eyes and say you don't understand, than to close your eyes and say you don't believe.

  Obviously not enough to teach me a lesson - quit while you're ahead. These high jackpots are like a sugar pile to the ant colony. We just can't stay away. Trek around the world for one small granule. Then come back again for another. Thinking, some day I will be able to carry all the granules in one trip. The worst part? The Queen doesn't even say thanks!

  I have lost less than $50 as my vote. The reason being I don't play the lottery in MM, PB, and CA SLP because school and spending money on other things are more important than gambling out some of the money. I have to listen to my family and only buy tickets when my family tells me to.

  Everyone, based upon my quote, last month I lost about $10 total. These reasons on my quote made me cut my losses. Otherwise, I would have lost a little more, but no more than $50 because of my vote I took in poll.
