  I have to confess I've screwed up several times and made mistakes and it's cost me winning even if to break even. Like playing a number day after day and not having it hit. I start to think I'm crazy and then slack off and sure enough it hits. It's happened twice now in the last two weeks and I felt like such a failure.

  I guess this is part of the learning process.

  And I guess I need to realize I'm going to make more mistakes if I continue to play.

  Is this just a part of the game?

  There's an LP member though I can't remember his profile name at this time whose signature line reads, and I paraphrase, Einstein was wrong. Insanity is to stop playing your regular numbers and watching them come out.

  I never pick me own numbers, quick picks all the time in fear of my numbers coming up.

  Since lottery is a game of chance, your case is not unusual but you can try to buy scratch off tickets instead. Those tickets have better odds but with lower prizes.

  Yep. It is part of the game and happens all the time. Don't let it bother you. Just play your # 6 days then drop it. If it hasn't

  hit by then, chances are the pattern or trend has changed. The pick 3 is not an easy game. There is an old saying; history

  repeats itself. This also applies to the lottery. Look for # combinations or pairs of #'s that stick together. Look for trends

  such as consecutive pairs, series #'s, all even, all odd, all low, all high #'s. If one hits there will usually be more within a few

  days.  Consecutive #'s hit on average every other day, doubles every 4. Play one state, study it, watch what happens. You

  will start to notice things, but it will take time. Good luck!!!

  

  When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend?
