G5 ... don't give up on the Mass-Cash yet. Play your NY game but maybe pick one or two sets of numbers that you wouldn't change ... and let 'em ride.
I have three sets of numbers that I play in PA off and on with the Treasure Hunt game ... depending on the jackpot size. Not hitting anything but if I had played them in MA with Mass-Cash ... I would be winning some nice money.
About three weeks ago I had 4 out of 5, just missed $100,000 ... also just had 3 numbers again this week and last week ... have had 3 numbers three times I think and one of those 3 number hits was one off from being a 4 number hit again ... also lots of 2 number hits and being one off from 3 numbers.
I've got to get to MA ... everything in PA is dead and not working for me ... my last hope is the PA raffle.
...
I'm not givin' up on my Mass Cash ticket CW... aint got any choice in the matter really.. the 90 bucks I paid for it is now in the hands of the Massachusetts Lottery.
I guess more than anything, I've proved to myself why I like to play different sets of numbers each day. Never had a set of "personal numbers". Mostly because I'd hate to not have played them and then see they were drawn. Don't wanna know what that feels like. Must feel a lot like the guy who has 5 numbers in MM/PB, wins a million bucks, and somebody tells him "Gee, if you'd have just spent one dollar more and bought the Megaplier or PowerPlay, you have won 2 million."
And... I know of a story where something like that happened in New York State. A guy ordered a one dollar QP MM ticket. The lady who owns the store accidentally added the megaplier. The guy refused the ticket, and she gave him another one. She then bought the 2 dollar ticket she created in error. She had five numbers, and won a million dollars with that ticket. (This happened when 5 numbers in MM paid $250,000 but with the megaplier it was bumped up to a million.)
Now here's the even harder part; The lady's home is attached to the back of the store. The guy lives right down the street from the store. How'd ya like to be HIM and pass that store every day knowing that the lady in that store has a million dollars that he could of have had??? G5

I fully understand about playing the same numbers and then you miss a day or decide to change ... the numbers are in your head. With the Treasure Hunt in PA ... I usually never play when the starting jackpot is $10,000 ... I will wait for $25,000 or $40,000, like today.
So I have missed some small hits when a few of my numbers hit with a lower jackpot, which is OK ... I just like the $25,000 or higher amounts better ... also by doing that, I only have to worry about playing the TH game 20 days out of 30, so I save some money.
I think I remember the MM story or something like it. I have bought "mistake" tickets myself but never won a dollar.
Just to add ... so you get FPs in NY ... the Cash 5 here pays a dollar cash for 2 numbers, which is nice to play whatever numbers or game you want.
I keep hoping for an announcement any day from the PA Lottery that a new game like Mass-Cash will be starting soon ... but it has to be an evening game with bouncing balls ... all the afternoon games are computer picks. I'm pretty sure Mass-Cash isn't RNG picks.
yellowpig ... I was just at a self-serve terminal and the waste basket was full of scratch tickets ... lots of money in that basket.

nice i like stores that let me dig through the trash to look for losers - sometimes people forget to scan the barcodes and stuff, but seems like most of the stores i go to people are smart enough to go check to see if they are winners before tossing it

Agreed YP, but the downside of FP's is that they're QP's. I've looked at more than just a few of the FP's I've won and thought to myself "Glad I didn't pay for that booger." G5
been paying for a line that started out as a qp - 15 16 17 19 22

got me a 3/5 out of that one
A tip of my cap to you YP on your 3/5 with such an ugly line!
You've got more guts than I do. But that's the thing about playing the lottery. Players cant call somebody's baby ugly, especially when someone has hit 5/5 with an ugly line, and the guy callin' their baby ugly aint never even had 4/5. (That's me, never had a 4/5) G5

Yes, I know Mink-Man!
1 winner from Weedsport near the Finger Lakes (I think it's near the Finger Lakes, and not too far from "Skinny Atlas" too.)
Well, I broke down and bought 5 lines of T5 today. I saw that that big plastic bag full of plastic water bottles out in the garage was so full that the bottles were spilling out of it, so off to my local Stop & Shop I went with them... Got 6 bucks out of it. So naturally, I bought 5 partial QP's.
I saw that you guys are PO'ed about the 12 and 38 being missing for so long, and I know which numbers are the top five big hitters in 2015, so I played those seven numbers and let the terminal pick the rest. (I picked two numbers on each line, and let the machine pick the other three.) Got some decent lookin' lines too. G5

mrsd446 happy anniversary congrats on 21 years. 27 for me")
The speaker at a woman’s club was lecturing on marriage and asked the audience how many of them wanted to “mother” their husbands. One member in the back row raised her hand. “You actually want to mother your husband?” the speaker asked. “Mother?” the woman echoed. “I thought you said smother.”

8 is getting interesting too that is missing 23 draws - so those 3 are all 0 for October - 32 came out on 10/1 and 37 on 10/2 so those don't count
