No I dont loose sleep on drawing night. I make sure I dont see the numbers the night of the drawing,,,But I do get my adrenalin up when the jackpots get bigger....I give it my best shot and cross my fingers...i do have a let down when someone hits it,,,but i get back in line on the next drawing and start the number selection again....it helps my brain function,,,,,

Adrenlin and anxiousness characterize what I experience a day or two before the draws. If it gets to bad, I go to sleep without finding out if someone won or not. Then in the morning I take my time with checking the computer, the news shows or calling the 800 number. Like tomorrow, I won't seek to find out if any of my 35 tickets hit until around 8:30am. I have a plan in place that is quite detailed. Its about 40 pages. I wrote it about 10 months ago and tweek it about 2 times a month depending on the jackpot. The way I have it designed today is structured as a Family Office, with a slew of legal, tax and wealth managers and advisors.

If you don't, then you should.....because you have no control over the lottery and odds are none of us will ever win it anyway.
It will be the poor sap that had to go to the quickie mart to get the milk and had a few bucks in change and saw the PB sign, then asked for a couple of QPs. HE will be the one that hits it.
He never expected to or never gave it any thought..
We expect too much...

I think of the odds then I sleep like a baby.
I never consider the odds. I win, or I don't. The odds don't matter one single bit. The thousands of previous winners beat the odds, and the next winner will beat the odds. They don't mean didly squat! I can't win if I don't bet, and if I win, who cares about the odds. If I lose, who cares about the odds.

Having money is not the problem, loving it too much is.

wow DoubleDown and LilSpeedy are right we love money too much and the person who wins the lottery don't ever play, just like the people who won MM with he $1.00 QP.

Well, if you stayed up, you wasted your time, unless you're the person in Nebraska. Following the trend, they will need some one to personally tell they won. Lousy number selection made my sleep worth while.
