My lottery pet peeves is when I give my playslip to the cashiers , once the the machine gets done printing the ticket just give my my tickets i dont need you too check it for me. That irritates the hack out of me ..

My peeve is the conspiracy theorists. I think if someone believes the lottery commissions are crooked, then don't play.

mcherry, it may be that the clerk is counting the amount you owe for the tickets. When I get mine they look at each ticket for the cost.

JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Omg! They must have a team of clowns in every state. I thought that only happened in Florida. I even have members of the crew conducting exit poll interviews as I leave the store - lol.

Do you think you're going to win tonight? I just look up with a cryptic smile beacuse if I respond I may be band from my favorite spot!

ohio pick3 betslips do not have pair play on them even though you can play pairs!
try telling a clerk how to enter pairs, most don't and most will not put in 10 pairs for you..to much work!

have a great winning day!

My pet peeve is when you stop at the store on the way to work and their machine is down for some reason. You don't have time to stop any where else and one of your numbers hits straight. That's happened 3 times.

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

I've had clerks tell me I'm one of their few customers who use the play slips. So I guess they don't like it either. It makes it

easier for them too.

Was it the same store all 3 times?

I also don't like people breathing down my back when I'm playing my #s and will often tell people to go ahead of me if I'm not pressed for time.

Another peeve of mine is when I'm convinced I have a straight hit because I've been playing a number faithfully, only to find that I dropped the number and forgot...

YES!!! All three were after real bad weather the night before, so I suppose the system was having "technical difficulties"

booting up. There is a gas station near my job that I go to now when that happens, but I have to make like Mario Andretti to

get there in time and not be late.
