"...but don't build up too much expectation." Haymaker, this is the best and most reasonable advice that any player can take regarding a numbers game this large. Also, this is especially true even if a player is spending hundreds of dollars on numbers like I've seen happen...and still lose BIG TIME. To me, based on personal experience, this is a game that you simply purchase a few lines, feel good about being able to play, think positive and about how you'd help certain people, and have that same reserve for the next draw if it doesn't quite work out.

Whenever I do play, hell I'm just happy to even be in the running! It does feel really good to entertain that "what if" factor, but I control it and never feel bad when it's not my turn. Good post, man.

Buddy, I have (2) very old QP's which my friend let me have, and, a fortune with some lottery numbers on one side. Hell, I'm gonna take those and see what may or may not happen...it's only $6 to play 'em. They have just as good of a chance as any other combinations out there. I like 'em because they're second hand, and, the other is a unique fortune of sorts. Who knows??? Can't know 'til I try. Might end up a HIGH ROLLER, or, remain a low crawler!!!!

Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the "someday I'll" philosophy.

I love it, 'Ridge! When a person finally learns how to just relax, instead of trying to force a given thing, it works out so much better. All the energy from trying to force it is actually released when in a passive state of mind...and discoveries are made which weren't possible before. Good post.
