  Same here. I also bought GH's Lotto Book that had the numbers and you would put your numbers under hers. At that time I didn't understand the concept I like using the letters better

  My first big win was from a Missouri scratch-off coz Kansas didn't have the lottery yet It was $75

  I decided to be a regular lottery player in the summer of 1996.  I have been trying to take down a big jackpot since then.-weshar75

  I started to play on my own.  NH began the "Sweepstakes" drawings in the 60s. I was too young, but my boyfriend occasionally bought a couple of ticketswhen we drove up there.  Then MA followed with "The Game" in the early 70s.  I met someone whose family won $50,000 when it started and it changed his life.  (of course that was 35 years ago!)  but I didn't start playing every week until I moved to FL.  I guess all the hype got to me and now I'm hooked! 

   

  I just voted and marked this "average" and now I wish I could change it to "good" 

  "average" sounds so, well.....average.
