WOW!
When I thought about this topic and poll, I didn't think I'd get this amount of information. This is good stuff to hear LP members personal journey, if you will on the road of lotteries. Justxploring, you have a wealth of knowledge and info to pass on to us up starts. Keep giving up the info, it helps to know.

I have been playing on and off for the past 15 years or so...nothing serious..until about a year and a half ago when I came one digit away from winning $100K...that really put the hook in me.

Not so long ago. I only play Powerball and/or Megamillions and only when the pot reaches $100M or more. I know the chances of winning are so miniscule, why am I playing?
Well, I don't know. Maybe I'm just being foolish.

2 and a half years.in january 2004 when i heard that tennessee was about to get a lottery i had never played before.i did a crash course on all the lotteries and games and how they worked.in july 2004 i played 486 ten times straight and won 5 grand.a couple months later i finally stumbled onto this site.been here since october of 2004.so you could say that 2004 was the year i started on the lottery.i've won over twenty grand all together and about half was pick 3 and half was pick 4 winnings.i don't play pick 3 anymore i just concentrate on pick 4....
I'm glad to hear that you actually have won money on the pick 4 game . 20k is a lot of loot.

As for me..I have been playing for around 10 years or so. In 2000, between a 5 month period..I had hit the little lotto jackpot twice. I remember it was in the spring and the world was looking good then. That's when jackpots were only 200k. Then the morons changed the game to 5/39. From 5/30. After that, I've had some good fortune but can't seem to do it again. I'm always like one number off...so , I figure that it is a matter of time before it's deja vu .

I've been playing off and on for 20 years. Seriously, for about the last 5. Hit tons of pick 3's straight and boxed. Sometimes, good little pots at times, but I have never hit the pick 4 straight. I've hit it boxed so many times I've lost count, but never straight. I've even had 4 out of 5 on showme 5 a few times.
As far as the Pick 4 though, I have posted tons of straight on here for a variety of states, played lots of them online, but I always drop them just before the straight comes, most of the time just the day before.... I've always said, I am not a lucky player but I am persistent.
Best of Luck All,
Bryan :)

I used to take a weekly trip to the Texas border to get in on the Texas Lotto game. I think I spent about $1,000.00 doing that for about 8 months.
Then, I moved on to other interests not lottery related.
When Oklahoma started the Pick 3 game here last year, my interest in the lottery was reborn.
Now, I play online daily. (first week, actually)
