The most QP's you have ever played?Prev TopicNext Topic
What is the most QP's/own numbers you have ever played?

I play the S.C. cash 5. When I play I buy one ticket one line which is usually around 10 plays.
I do this as I pick and wheel my numbers. In the wheel I will have multiple lines that could have the possibility of 4 of 5 . 4 of 5 pays 300.00. If i go more that one line on a ticket and have a winner of 4 of 5 I would need to claim at a redemption center as the payout is over 500.00 with more than one win on a ticket.I think you answered a question I was going to ask. Here if you win $599 (think that's a federal rule) you cannot claim your ticket at a local retailer since a form must be completed for tax purposes. I recently read that in FL you can ask them not to deduct taxes on prizes under $5,000 but you still will receive a 1099 in Jan.
I mentioned I have a habit of always asking for separate tickets. My reason is the slim chance I'll win on more than one (even one would be nice!) and the total payout will exceed $599. Is the limit per winning set or per ticket? Here the 4 of 5 in Lotto is only around $75, but it's still possible. So I guess you are saying that if you win under $500 on one set of numbers and under $500 on another, the rule is based on the ticket payout not each line, right? Interesting. That's what I always thought. So I'm not crazy after all..well maybe a little.
justexplorer, I tend to do that when I buy Pick 3 tickets. =)

Absorb the good, ignore the bad, weigh the ugly.
It's about number behavior.

Several years ago during the brief window that Georgia had Powerball the jackpot grew quite large and of course I wanted to win something. Try as I might I couldn't come up with any of my own picks so decided follow "conventional wisdom" of the herd and purchase quick picks.Since the jackpot was high decided to also do what I'd read of other high rollers doing (who by the way had won doing so) which was to purchase $120 worth of quick picks this one time to see if it would work for me too. Some spend more but that was an outlandish for me ... win big or go down in flames.
Yesiree came drawing time went through all those tickets and didn't even come up with a Powerball red ball match, no matches of the white balls either. Zip, zilch, nada!!
My lesson was that if I don't feel anything I can not "buy or force" the jackpot through "increasing my odds" by $pending more money.
Moral to the story ...... when you follow "conventional wisdom" of herd mentality be sure to consider what your view will be from behind them!!
Have fun and the best of luck to everyone!

If I were to spend $120 dollars on any game, I would pick my own set of numbers. I would not do that many quick picks.
Only happened once
...... not since and never again!!! A couple of dollars is all the QP I buy now, period, that is if I can't come up with my own numbers and it feels good to buy them.
Have fun and the best of luck to everyone!

I think I am going to try about 50 QPs or more one month, and the next my own numbers and compare the differences. Even if I do win with the QPs.
I would really be confused if I won back to back jackpots. -
