  On a hunch I wheeled my favorite number (821) last night, and it hit (as 218)!

  That's definitely the best way to win — play one number, and that number hits.  The only downside is New Jersey's pathetic payouts — it was only $170 for the straight hit — but I'm not complaining too much, considering my $3.00 investment!

  Here's my trophy:

  Now you can purchase a platinum membership! 

   

  Congrats on your hit. One number; took all of 30 seconds to pick. Now that's minimizing your expense.

  Why only $170 payout? In most states (OH) that would have been $250 for, what seemed to be a .50 wheel.

  Because NJ uses horrible pari-mutuel payouts for Pick 3 and Pick 4.  You're lucky that your state lottery has fixed payouts.
