  Are you wanting to know how much I made/earned from playing the lottery or from my real job..or from both?  If from anything other then the lottery..then I am afraid the answer will have to be "none of your business"....to personal for an open forum board...

  I don't know dman - there might be some underlying marketing going on here that nobody knows about. Guess we need to be a little skeptical of their motives!

  I think there are some things you should just know you will not get an honest answer to

  I can't even afford the dirt.

  With the lottery I get all the exercise I need.

  Hi All,
  I apologize if anyone got offended. I did not mean to do so. Also I am not requesting for any discussion although people may do so if they wish. I am requesting for anonymous poll.
  To dman2005
  "Did I say that it is my business". If I asked you "hey dman2005, how much do you earn", I would have been wrong. I am trying to get an anonymous and as honest as possible opinion without anyone revealing their identity.
  Thanks to both participating and non participating folks.

  Just the fact that we are all here daily shows just how desperate we are for a windfall. The rich are out having fun.

  I'm not desperate for a windfall. I do this strictly out of interest; unless spending $4.00 a day on lottery tickets is a sign of desperation. I think smokers spend more than that a day for their vises. I'm sure someday, when I think I have a system that is producing hits, I'll spend a little more. But for now, my money goes into r/c jets; my hobby and passion. It's just too darn cold to fly them now :o( So working numbers in the fall / winter seem to capture my attention. But if anyone asks (including the IRS): I'm so broke, I can't even pay attention.

  Skill in winning a lottery is not necessarily tied into or connected with a certain income level or educational background.  A desire to learn about number patterns and how to identify them and willingness to learn all you can while remaining open to others combined with discipline and intuition are probably found in all serious players.
