  Say you play 346.  And choose 1 off play wager.  If 456 or 235  you win... google it for details

  From the Florida Lottery website:

  1-OFF™   Match in exact order or off by one on any or all of your 3 digits in exact order.			50¢ Play	$1.00 Play
  STRAIGHT	123	1:1,000	$125	$250
  1-OFF	214	1:38.46	$5	$10

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  If you could, they wouldn't have it but they're probably hoping you think so and buy some extra tickets.

   * you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *

  I live in Florida and in my opinion,

  they are a bad investment .

  For example

  you play  912  and 192  comes in. you get zero, zilch nada .

  No one I know ever plays them .

  If you find a way to make a profit playing them, Id sure like to know what it is ..

  When I went home, I played that 1 off game and it is more like a sucker bet because you pay the same amount for it as you do the regular play.  I think I won 5 or 10.00 1 time.  I was very disappointed so I went back to regular play.  Why should you pay 20.00 to win 5.00?

  My regular daily play was 20 dollars.

  If you know your number is going to hit, have patience and then KILL IT!

  You never know when you will get another hit.

  Cool. Thanks for input.  I was in fla and saw it on their playslip and thought I'd ask about it on here.  I saw odds was 1 in 38.  Thanks

  Since Powerball went from $1 to $2 (or $3) state lotteries have kept coming up with ways of turning $1 tickets into $2 tickets.

  Illinois has added EZmatch to Lucky Day Lotto ( top prize is $500, odds againt over 210,000:1, better to throw an extra buck at the original game itself) and Extra Shot to the lotto. Both are sucker bets.
