This might shock a few people here.
1. How long have you been buying lottery tickets?
When the lottery came to Tx I bought a few tickets for the first 3 or so months, then I told myself that the lottery must be "Fixed" and I quit buying them.
Much latter back on 2002 or 2003 I once again became interested on the lottery, but this time on the pick 3 game.
I didn't become interested in buying tickets, but in trying to see if I could learn how to win.
On and off I have been trying to since then, mostly off.
2. Where do you buy lottery tickets? Do you always buy them at the same place?
The very few times when I buy them, I buy Tx2Step and or MegaMillion tickets at the same store.
3. How many lottery tickets do you buy? How often do you buy lottery tickets? When you purchase tickets are they the only things your buying or do you purchase other items?
As I said, I buy 1 Tx2Step and 1 MegaMillion tickets, maybe about once every 2 months, that is all that I buy when I do, not anything else.
4. Do you have any rituals or superstitions before, after, or during purchasing?
No, I don't.
5. The numbers that you use, are they the same every time? How do you pick the numbers?
Quick Picks from the lottery terminals.
6. If you're comftorable talking about it, how much do you estimate you spend on lottery tickets?
Maybe about $2 to $4 every 2 months.
7. Have you ever won any money from the lottery? How often? How much? What do you spend your winnings on?
The very last time that I picked my own pick 3 numbers very long ago and bought them, I won any order, as they were 50 cents per number I won $40, I almost never buy pick 3 numbers and have not since that time so very long ago, I didn't buy more tickets with the money, I quit buying pick 3 numbers years ago and when I did I did only a few times.
I don't trust my own predictions yet, good as some of them have been.
I still think that all the lotteries are 'Fixed" to some degree.
8. Do your family and friends play the lottery? Is it something you do together?
No.
9. If you ever won the jackpot, what do you think you would do with the money?
Save most of it, first and much later, Who knows?
