Playing the lottery can be both entertaining and frustrating.

Entertaining when you win but frustrating when you miss being a multi-millionaire by one number.

RJOh Ohio Classic Lotto 5 of 6 05-12-16-18-36-39 12-16-18-36-39-42 $5,000

At least that what I was thinking when I collected my $1500 - $10(processing charge) this morning.

Wow! Congrats on the win! More money to play to win more money!

I play mostly for entertainment. But I won't fool anyone by saying that is the only reason. I still hold hope that I'll win a big one for financial security. How cool would life be knowing you have $ to pay the bills each month? I play for $1m and up for that. Then I play smaller pots to get more money to play to win more money. Unfortunately, I'm a bit behind there... lol.

As Ronnie says, big goals, small results.

Is everyone playing the lottery in hopes of being able to retire, what are your reasons for playing?

was just hoping to win an extra 100 or 2 to get those things I couldn't ordinarily afford.

Nice catch Rjoh!

Yeah that extra $100-200k could make a difference.

I play Mostly 3 digit, not going to retire on that, but if I put some extra spending dollars in my pocket, I am happy. I started my retirement fund when I was in my 20's.

Similar to Sully and I have had a retirement account also since my 20's. However, I am looking to buy that fixer upper apartment in Paris (and rent it out most of the year) and to only work (self employed career) for myself. So I am playing the bigger games.

lol...no I meant 100-200 dollars .I keep my needs small.

Apparently the odds of hitting that in Connecticut are 1:25,000..or at least that's what it seems like

99% of the time I play the pick 3. It's the easiest game to win. I don't win all the time, but I'm gonna keep trying to. Like it says under my avatar, my goal is $1,500 a week.

List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.
