For the period of 12/8-12/27 period ronnieh's number won $152
with a spend of $166(91.56%). I believe that is way better than
throwing money at the big lotteries and not winning but maybe
5% back
Hey Oso, I don't know when he started playing his numbers so I couldn't find out the acutal amount he spent vers what he would have one if played daily. I did take his numbers and broke it down from the history. The grouping works better even if they are back to back meaning playing such numbers as 1, 2 & 3, 4 instead of 1, 2, 3. As I said before, most games have 6 numbers from the first 12 and 6 from the second 12. Trying to figure out which 3 groups to play in each set of 12 numbers is the challenge. I have been so busy for the last two weeks that I haven't had a lot of time to look at this game much. I think if we could figure out the best two groups in the first set of 12 and the best two groups in the second set would help us greatly. Then we would only have to determine the 3rd group for each set or even play two groups and then find two individual numbers to play with it. Just some thought. I can't wait to see one of us to hit this thing. If I do, you will most definatly see me posting the winning ticket. I am thinking if we want to hit the $500, we should look at the numbers that have the most winners and check out what numbers play in each game. Take care and hope to see you in the winners box this week. Happy New Year.

I don't recall exactly when I started playing this exact number. I chose two sets of numbers at random and played the very first draw and have played probably 2/3rds of the draws since the start of the game. I have tried a few different numbers over that time but this one I have stuck with since shortly after the game first began. I have not tweaked it or picked any other numbers. I just run this slip when I can afford to and play a quick pick here and there. I have not studied when the number has hit best but it seems like the 6PM draw is when I have won the most overall. I played 5 quick picks this AM and then also .for the 6PM draw today and got back $4 each draw. Hopefully tonights the night it hits for $500 or $250,000. It would be great if a number several of us play would hit and we could all get some loot. Good luck with whatever you play.

The number hit for $10 tonight. I played it and got 3 qps and ended up with $22 in wins. Too bad I lost a small fortune on scratch offs, and all the other drawings tonight. O well got a few $'s left to try again tomorrow.

Hi!
Hope I'm not intruding, I'm new to the site, I live in Dallas, TX and I've decided to play All or Nothing and make it my main focus.
Disclaimer: I'm horrible at math, don't know the forum lingo and my question may come across as if I'm stupid, I can assure you I'm not.
So here's what I was thinking to do and I wonder if someone could tell me their thoughts. Since I know nothing about numbers, calculating numbers I was going to play: all even #s, all odd #s, 1st 12 numbers, last 12 #s for all 24 plays.
I have enough money to play it this way for at least 6 months, I'm going to play all 4 drawings per day for 6 days of the week and hope I hit the 250k.
Don't hold back, tell me what you think about my lazy way of playing

Welcome to the site. I am pretty new here myself. I have no systems for any of the drawings but play ALL of them most weeks (pk3 day4 the most). I try to use a little common sense , pay attention to what comes out, listen to others,and pray for some good luck. I do not study the results like some in here do but I would not recommend doing what you suggest. It appears to me that the odd and even is pretty evenly divided most every draw and the high low numbers are pretty well evenly divided each drawing. Over the next 6 months one of these plays might hit the big one but I suggest looking over the recent winning numbers and try to randomly pick out 12 numbers with a mix of high/low odd/even numbers and play it a while and see how it does then change if its not working. Its obviously a hard game to win at, just look at how few winners each drawing and the odds to hit the 250,000. Others that know more than me can give you some tips that might help.Good Luck
BTW I have a degree in Accounting(never used it) and was always good in math but all these systems people use for all the different drawings blow my mind and its like a foreign language to me. I spend a lot of my free time in here reading, some very helpful people and some good reading. I am learning a little and find that some on here have improved their odds a little and have better luck than most of us but luck plays a big part , and having a big enough bank roll to play fairly big IMO. I lose a lot of money trying to play every drawing plus scratch offs, I have to slow down because I go on long streaks where I can't win anything.

Hi there. Welcome to LP. Of course, you are NOT intruding.
I started out on this game playing all even. Did ok. But I decided to pick some numbers and I check them on Texas Lottery's website. You can click on the "check your numbers" link and input your numbers and then add up how much they would have won and then you compare that with how much you would have spent.
Right now I'm not playing this game, but I will probably start up again playing a draw a day. I seriously thought about playing every draw for a month or so, but that is a chunk of money.
Good luck to you, and let us know how you're doing.

Hi tikisunrise it's good to have another player to help with the
cause.
My suggestion on playing is to pick 1 or 2 sets of numbers and
play them till you win the big one. I personally wouldn't play all
4 draws but you can experiment and see how your numbers do.
ronnieh has a number that is hitting quite often and is almost making
a profit. Use that one--1 2 5 7 11 12 14 15 18 19 20 22 or create your own that
is similar. If 2 people hit the jackpot both will be paid the full $250,000.
I have a number that hits quite often but about 3/4 of what ronnieh"s
does. 1 2 3 8 9 10 16 17 18 21 23 24
Both of these numbers tend to hit more often at night, Ronnie's hits
best on the evening draw---it actually made a profit in a 20 day period
2nd best time was day draw for his.
My number hit better at the night draw and the eveing draw was next.
Two things---most of the jackpot winners played quick picks and 7 or
so were won at the night draw. Evening draw was next with 3 I think.
The good thing about playing a number like ronnie's is that you should win
back at least 50% of what you spend--his actually hit over 90% win to spend
ratio for 20 days in December.
If you find a good number share it and we will all win.

Naive statement on my part but out of all of the lotto games I think the easiest for me is All or Nothing, granted it's very expensive to play over a long period of time but I have a gut feeling that I could hit if I could stick with it for several months on all plays but I'm also willing to learn from everyone on the site, I do have an open mind.
I will also take your suggestion and watch the numbers and see if I can come up with my own, I can't say I know what I'm doing but if I stick around the forum maybe I'll begin to pick up fast. I agree the forum terminology is hard to follow but I don't give up that easily so I'll be around more often.
As for scratch offs I was playing the $50 scratch offs and the $20 scratch offs and I was breaking even, so mad lol. I won't be focusing on scratch offs for a long time.

Hi Oso,
I will definitely use the numbers you provided from yourself and RonnieH, it can't hurt to see if these 2 pairs of numbers will come up with a 250k hit.
Weird that no one is winning during the day draw. Also Oso could you help me understand this game a little bit more, please don't roll your eyes at me LOL. Yes I know I should know this game before playing but it's just so hard to follow.
So basically I have to match all 12 numbers to win 250k or I have to match nothing to win 250k. Is that correct? Please enlighten me.
I was thinking if anyone was trying to not match any numbers to win or am I just not understanding this game at all?

Hi Rcbbuckeye,
Thanks for taking a moment to respond, appreciate it. So can you tell me what you think about what I'm doing. No let me rephrase that differently. Do you feel/believe that all odds or all evens are bound to come up at some point?
What game are you playing now Rcbbuckeye? Just curious..

I'll answer for Oso, you are correct. Welcome to the LP family. The more you read the more you will learn. Terminology you will pick up gradually while reading many different threads. It's not wise to play all odd/even or even the first 12 or last 12. When you research the numbers that have hit big, you will see that most have sets of groups of numbers. I consider groups as (1,2) (2,3) (3,4) and so on. Sometimes there will be two groups together making it four numbers back to back (1,2,3,4). I believe Oso is right. Come up with your own numbers and play them like religion. Your chances are greater when you stick to one set of numbers. I see this with people who play p3 and d4. They have a set of numbers and that is the only numbers they play every game. I think the more people who join in on this thread will add lots of insight into what is winning and what is not. With good communication, we can all benefit from this site,

My feeling at the beginning was that some time maybe once, all odd, or all even will hit. Kinda like quads in the Daily 4. But, the problem with playing like that is numbers like that are a long shot.
Right now, I'm playing the four jackpot games, and Cash 5. I keep track of how much I spend and win, and lose. Last year I just got out of control spending way too much. So I'm determined to cut down, which means I can't play all the games all the time, so I'll probably switch from Cash 5 to All or Nothing, and vary how much I play on the jackpot games. I'll play a little Daily 4 also. I played that every day all year last year, and I usually only play it straight. Didn't win but I was playing anywhere from $1 to $5 a draw straight.

Hey rcbbuckeye, could I give you some insight. When playing the p3 or d4, if you played the pre-draw numbers for .50 each ($2) you will hit from time to time. I have seen the pre-draw numbers come in exact and in any order in the pre-draw. Starting today, I am playing this way.
