  Me, probably 3 drawings in a row I won $2 bucks each time lol!  My longest losing streak is over 1 month where I didn't win ANYTHING.  Now that is bad. 

  What about you guys?

  I got my fingers crossed ready to win!!!

  I think that one summer, I played scratch offs, and every time I'd play,

  I'd win like $3 or something and that went on for about three days,

  I'd win a small amount and play again, etc.

    Longest losing streat is about a month, then I'd get down to some

  serious number calculations, just to win a few bucks, just to get that

  feeling of winning something.

  It depends on the state...

  TN.. hit 9 out of 11 draws.. the best I have had.. this was pick 3

  GA.. Hit , Wow.. that state was easy... longest losing streak was 6 draws... or three days...

  Ky.. Went 2 weeks without a hit once when playing online.. Never had more than two hits back to back..

  CA .. went 2 months without a hit... and just quit it..

  I've got you beat.  I believe NH has the oldest game in the country.  I remember in 1970 when MA had their "Big Game" on Wed evening for $50,000.  I knew someone who hit it.   I can't really say when I began buying tickets, but I know I purchased them occasionally in the 70s and 80s, and  I haven't missed a weekly drawing since I moved to FL 13 years ago.

  If winning a Free Ticket or $5 can be called a "winning streak" I think I've won 4 consecutive draws, but I only call it winning when I come out ahead! (although it's nice to get something back)

  Losing streak? - As far as going for a jackpot in any Pick 6 or 5 +1 games and not hitting one, how about since 1970 here, too (started in Germany)
  

  37 year losing streak and still going.... 

  
  

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  hahaha

  Pick 3 hasn't hit for me since Feb. 13th of this year... play the straights and a few boxed and spend a lot... I need a huge hit really quick... especially to  end this 3 month slide.

  We are all Lucky... just some of us don't realize it!

  my win streak increases to 4 because i won 4 bucks last night in powerball. i never said my losing streak so that would be the powerball for ten years because i drove to kentucky to play when i was 18 and now that tennessee has it i still play so that makes 10 years for me losing out on powerball jackpots but ill stay positive and keep playing...

  Since playing in November of last year, I've won a prize in every single drawing I've played except 1.  The test numbers I played Saturday were the only losers for $5, and I still had 2 of the winning numbers in my set.

  I will not be denied the jackpot!  If Raven62 can do it, so can I!

  Raven62 hit the jackpot for the Take-5 in NY.  $35,000+  That is, if he played the numbers he posted.  He never confirmed.
