Have you ever NOT played the same numbers (if you are a same number player) and your numbers came in as a winner?!

My vote is no because every combination I ever played doesn't come out. When I change numbers, the old numbers never win a jackpot.

yea i used to play 8512 and 8514. and one of these hit twice in the same month straight. i went into the hospital for a knee replacement and didn't play them 8514 hit straight and a couple days later 8512. I swear if i had been playing them they wouldn't have came out.
As the story goes, lots of people say have a number you like just drop it and it will come out.

No. I generally don't play a number back. It happens to me all the time. I miss out a lot. I'm usually a day ahead on the numbers. 1879 fell in SC midday 4/19/06 I had it straight 4/18/06 midday. That was the most recent.

It happened to me two days ago with the 3338 for New York. Always stay commited to your picks unless you have a very big hunch on other picks. I played it Midday and didn't run it back for the Evening draw.

Do you want to win the lottery? The secret is very, very simple. Anybody can manage it. All you have to do is buy a ticket with the numbers that are going to be drawn at the next draw. If you do this I can GUARANTEE you will win the lottery.

I played a series of numbers for a long time and even though they did win for me a couple of times ($50), they didn't do much after I quit playing them. Right now, if I play only one number, it's usually a QP but if I play more than one on a drawing, I'll combine QPs with my own picks.

I play the same numbers for jackpot style games but only if the pot is big. The numbers may have come up on a much smaller pot but since I don't keep track I'd never know. That's probably a good thing though.
The number 502 is why I don't play pick 3 any more. In the first three months of playing pick 3 I won $16,500 starting with only $5 or $10 straight bets by picking out common straights that came out. I thought this is easy money. Then I tried my luck by playing 502 which had come out every year for 11 years. After almost two years I gave up pick 3 for good. It's easy to guess which number came out a few weeks later.

Since I've been playing the same set of 6 numbers for 12 years, I'm afraid to change. Some years back I changed for a while and then I panicked, so then I started to play both sets. Then I added another random set of numbers. I've read that past history does not have any effect on future draws, but I've also looked at every pick in the past 10 years and no 6 numbers have ever been repeated.
So the short answer here is NO, because I'm too afraid to change and I never miss a draw. I stopped playing the other games regularly using my own numbers (a) because I'm too broke to gamble a lot and (b) I don't want to feel compelled to bet. If I do play MegaMoney or Fantasy5, I only get quickpicks for that reason.
Speaking of quickpicks, the FL lottery just paid $12M yesterday and both people bought quickpicks. Nobody has come forward yet for the $82M jackpot, split by 2 people. Those were also quickpicks - both of them.

I'm not so sure about playing the same numbers - Illinois has subscription tickets, you can play the same set ofnumbers for up to a year I think.I get the e-mails everynight for the Little Lotto, the list of winners, all prizes, and in over two years of getting these e-mails I think I've seen two subscription winners.
You get the feeling you'd be "telling the balls" to make sure this set of numbers doesn't hit."
