The last time you posted a small set. 7 lines and you got a win.

It was a valiant effort and nobody still won the jackpot.
When helka won 4/5 with my numbers I only posted 2 lines!!!
These large sets are too hard to manage imho. It doesn't make sense to post winners nobody will play. Wouldn't it be better for us to understand them before we play them? To win some money and spread the wealth around?
No offense.
You dont have to quit on my account. Just do some more research into Sacred Geometry and post say ten lines max and lets all retire already.
Well unless you are not all ready retired.
LB,
I aint retired already, and aint nobody here gonna retire on a T5 JP win! Now with a SM JP win, that'd be different. Yeah, I'd be retired.
As to your two strategies, I'm in the same boat as you. I could spend ten bucks a day playing the lottery, but I usually dont. That's mostly because I know better than to do that.
But there are days when between T5 and SM, or T5 and Lotto (when it was big) or T5 and PB, I could easily blow past 10 bucks.
Lately I've been playing T5 on the days that I dont buy SM. (And I've been doing my new strategy of buying the same line twice on one ticket. Kind of a SM "PowerPlay" thing) If it's a Monday and I played SM, no T5 for me. But if I decide not to play SM, then most likely I'll play T5, but that could also depend on if I buy gas or go to the store. Then there's days when I play them both. How many lines I play usually depends upon how much money I have in my pocket, or if payday is just around the corner. As you can see, I'm all over the place with regard to how I spend my money on the lottery. (Not to mention those days when I zip over to Connecticut to see my daughter. Then I'll jump on New England Lucky for Life. Or like next week when I go over to Ct, it'll be for Connecticut SuperDraw tix. But that's special cuz they're 10 bucks a pop.)

What about NY LOTTO ? 2 games for a buck???
Well, Kap, for Lotto I have a subscription. It's just two lines per drawing, and it cost me 104 bucks for a year. I was buying Lotto 10 QP's at the store when the JP was big a short while ago.
I really bought the subscription because of 2nd place. I'd watch the 2nd place prize get big, then tell myself to go buy a ticket. But because I'm an old geezer with "CRS", I'd forget to go buy the ticket. So I solved that problem by getting the subscription. Now I'm automatically in every drawing for a year, and I dont even have to watch the second place prize get big.

Yeah, a subscription doesnt cost a lot (if you dont get crazy with the number of games you want to play per drawing) and you're always in the drawing. I bought a one year, but you can get a 6 month subscription too. I picked my own numbers, but you can get a "QP" subscription where your numbers change with every drawing because they'll do a QP for you just prior to the drawing. The numbers they randomly generate are your numbers for that drawing only. You can even buy a partial-QP subscription if you want.
I've gotten to the point where I dont even check the numbers for Lotto. If you hit big, The NYS Lottery will contact you. Years ago, I had a group subscription with a bunch of people from work. We won $129, but since there was ten of us, we each got a whopping $12.90!
