Many times I play some lotto, a couple of numbers and it's funny, 90% of the time it comes out to $13. Hmm I think, let me get a $1 quick pick lol. Would you do the same?

Do you mean to make it a more lucky total?...I wouldn't think of that. It would not bother me. More often, if it's anything other that a multiple of $5,

I'll add a couple or a few to round up. Did you ever try leaving it at $13? Maybe it is lucky

Here's a few threads to give you an idea:

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.

I could care less about some dumb #13 or anything else to do with superstition..Just buy a ticket and if it's winner I cash it and if it's a loser I throw it away..As simple as that..Anything else is hogwash from years ago..You can make up what you want but in the end your either a winner or a loser..tiggs has spoken..

I know how much it's going to cost me before I even get to the gas station to buy my tickets.....anyway If what I plan on playing costs 13 dollars than I'm going to pay 13 dollars. LOL I used to live in an apt. that was #13!

No, I wouldn't do that.

13 has been fairly lucky for me, and I've always been one to have good luck on Friday the 13th, and bad luck every other day of the year. LOL!!! I am really bass-ackwards

Ah yes, good 'ol Triskaidekaphobia. No, I have no problem spending $13. In fact I often pick 13 when playing lotto because my family always used to watch channel 13 in Tampa (at least back when it was still CBS and still had Roy Leep and Andy Hardy). 13's good by me. Now 800,000,000,000, there's another story.
