I feel great now.
I think I just needed some rest & to get over my loss. Want to know something?? I just got done arguing with the video store cuz they say I owe a late fee ($2.50) and I don't believe I owe it cuz I hate getting late fees for movies--for anything actually. (I am CHEAP)===> So you can imagine how I felt about that $50.00
Also, I am very impatient (VERY impatient) and when it doesn't happen quickly (my number hitting right when I play I mean), I become very upset.
I know the world doesn't always give you what you want "when you want it", --but I still have a hard time with that concept cuz "I want what I want" as soon as I want it. :=)
But hey, I will just have to wait patiently (LOL) till next month when I get to try my luck again.

Maybe you might want to quit playing the lottery for money for at least 3 months.
I don't say quit playing it, do play, but not for any money at all, that might take some of the stress off of playing it.
You might want to take onto something else besides the lottery, so in time the lottery won't be as important as it is right now, devide your interests, so in time you won't be as interested in the lottery as you are right now, it must be something as interesting and as absorbing and as time consuming, so one interest will put the other in check, so you might be able to better control both of them.
Get a dog or cat, or get a group of people with which to play many games like card games and monopoly, chess, checkerds, dominoes, whatever, does not have to be for money, use those colored plastic disks whatever their name is, or play with pennies or nickels.
Better yet learn programming, VB or even old basic such as GW Basic, there are even free programs, some for DOS (Disk Operating System) , some for Windows, or other programming languages, there are so many free programs out there ready for you to download and also many free programming tutorials.
Otherwise take some chemistry even just basic or study it on your own, it is very interesting, or basic electronics, and or take Excel, what about collecting something, like coins or stamps or whatever, what about learning Naturopathy on your own and or with some help, try looking for Dr. Hulda Clark, on the net use Google.
Learn alternate health therapies.
Better yet, take Yoga and or join a health club, don't spend all your free time on the lottery.
What about a nice little dog.
And or take a six months vacation from the lottery.
All that other stuff is a no-no. Don't do animals, know too much Chemistry as it is, hate collecting things (like to throw things out though :=))
Health therapies (yuck) Deal with too much health issues as it is.
But there is one thing I like even more than the lottery===>Better yet learn programming, VB
I love the computer, excel with those cute little cells, and did I say the computer?
Now if someone could walk me thru building a computer (that would be fun
) I did have a dog though (when I was 12) His name was Sam Bo-Bo Tate--fed him peanut butter crackers.
Unfortunately, He died in the house fire that my brothers accidentally set while looking for the dog under the bed. The netting caught on fire--(and hey, they are much younger than me).
I got out alive with 2nd & 3rd degree burns to about 35% of my body. (But not my face, Thank God) Thus, now I don't do animals.
True story (no pity though--please) That's what makes me the person that I am today.

So I am not the only one who is cheap and impatient. The cheap thing is kinda no-choice....I'm working on the impatient thing. <g>
Funny though how things work when you hit on a P3 the first day you play it like today's CA midday which I worked out this morning and it came in...then you don't feel so impatient. LOL ! Sometimes you do get what you want right away. But yeah, it can be frustrating when you have to wait. ANd more often then not we do seem to have to wait.....So you are not alone.

I eat number,
I bathe with numbers,
I sleep with numbers,
I work with numbers,
I drive with numbers,
Everything thing I do, I think of numbers..
I am in the same boat with you..
However, my problem is vtrac exchange with numbers..
when I see a number, my mind automatic gives the vtrac exchange.. or the vtrac number for that.
I have been laying low with pick 3 the last few days and playing around with pick 4.. The pay out has been great.. and it is a different challenge.. Trying to break the constant flow of vtracs in the bring...

Ever hear the one about the monkey and the peanut jar ?
What do you get when you stick a very hungry, impatient, stubborn monkey in a room with a very LARGE jar (of peanuts) with a very small opening ?
A dead monkey...STARVED to death with a fist full of peanuts.
The monkey can jam his entire hand into the jar and grab a fist full of peanuts (but not get its fist out) or COMPROMISE and LEARN to take a
few at a time.
Moral of the story: you NEVER get what you want WHEN and HOW you want it.
Anyone addicted to anything is living a life out of balance. Everyone wants to make a connection with something to validate our individual identity. When we experience failures we become frustrated and try to force things we are NOT prepared for. (The difference between a challenge and a formality is preparation.) Ultimately, we attempt to ESCAPE the conflict by running (not walking) to anything (ie vice) that accepts us unconditionally. That way we can fool ourselves into feeling validated.
However, we are just kidding ourselves. The real answers we seek are never found in the escape...they are found squarely in the face of the conflict we foolishly try to escape from. The conflict is WITHIN us, therefore, when we are genuinely honest with ourselves we admit there is NO escape.
The specifics of your situation are irrelevant. The simple fact is you are a human being and that, by virtue of your humanity, qualifies you to benefit from the 12 steps of recovery. I highly recommend to anyone who finds their fist stuck in that peanut jar to look closely at steps 2 and 3. Then consider using the greatest power you will ever know (choice) and choose the following:
1. Love yourself for who you are.
2. Forgive yourself for what you are NOT.
3. Choose to believe that a power greater than yourself loves you at
least enough to see you through.
Gather your faith and the fear will scatter...
A loving God WILL give you what you need (not what you want) when
you need it most. -
A lot of people become obssessed with whatever is peaking their interest. Last year it was one thing, this year it is something else. Find something you like, you become hooked on it and the lottery will be a past time.
I do the same thing.. Here lately it mostly numbers..One year it was quilting..
One year it was scrapbooking...
Those years I had beautiful quilts and Scrapbooks to show for my hobby..
This year , I have NUMBERS.. and numbers.. charts... and $$$$
Wonder what next year it will be???

Well, Lotta,
At least you know that your fellow asylum-mates will never call you crazy.
Now, everyone, get back to gnawing at those leather straps.
In neo-conned Amerika, bank robs you.
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store, not a govnoment agency. -

Sandy said: Your job is not to conquer the whole lottery universe (too much time)....it is to conquer one state (in my opinion). Big bucks can made doing that.
Unless your biggest mission in life is to be one of the beautiful people on LP and have nothing more exciting than to be top dog on a lottery forum.

"I use to like playing the lottery; but now, it seems like it's draining the life out of me. All I do is think about playing the lottery..."
Ms. Kim, based on these few lines alone, then the simple answer to the original question is no. You are sacrificing too much for a game. You are worth more than any jackpot. Remember that! Your health (mental, emotional, physical), your family, your entire life cannot be replaced by the largest winning. You are very good with numbers. Now, calculate your worth. You are priceless.ON BEING PRICELESS...
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless... -

(darn, i hit "post reply" while my connection was lost.... gggrrr, so here's a short version)
Hi Kimberlee,
Get on a flight, VB is right here lol
The last draw is the last draw, but it's a little later/earlier over here then... sometimes i catch it, sometimes i don't/can't ....
By then it is morning over here and 2 kids jump out of their bed. Never saw mine then ofcourse.
I'm also running on empty, or at least, will be pretty soon.
There's one positive thing "to work", we cannot access the forum from there. In fact, anything that has the word lotto or lottery in it is af limits.
The negative thing "to work" is, is that i've been strumbling around there like some sort of zombie.
I am a programmer for a living, and while i'm doing my job, my thoughts just drift of, thinking of "yet another way" to approach those digits lolI sometimes wonder how long a person can go on with only one to a few hours sleep a night...
Like Sandy put it, (i will) get out of the "All States" thing.
