Have I lost excitement? Yes. I lost excitement once the changes were announced,and ever since I've boycotted the game.

And all those millions of people who lost, cried while scratching their heads all the way home wondering why they couldn't beat the astronomical odds against them.

A few days later they do it all over again.

Don't understand why would they be crying, or scratching their heads; on each ticket they tell us what the odds, of winning are, it is there to read before they submit the tickets...what crying??!

forget what "they" say about you. What you say about you?...

Now, does it count??

Despite their knowledge of the odds, some people I've seen, heard, and who've written here and elsewhere get pissed off when they don't win.

I have not lost my excitement for the game but I only play a couple of bucks on tickets so if I hit something I can usually get some of my money back I just have to hit the mega ball. Lately that has been difficult for me to do but I think tuesday is my day to get back in the win column.-weshar75

I play not to win my dollar back but that I might be the 1 out of 258,890,850 probable winners! I play with the understanding I will most likely lose my wager. So I do not use a shotgun blast approach nor do I play every Mega Ball (15) number. If I choose to wager $5, I will select 3 own picks with each having same MB number and slight variations in the field of 5 numbers and then 2 QPs. Sometimes I will let those be pure QP but other times I will keep same MB as the other 3 for 1 of the QPs and just let one be a pure QP. Five bucks twice a week means I spend ten dollars per week on Mega Millions. I know that many smokers and habitual beer drinkers spend way more than that supporting their habit, and the only possible return with those habits are cancer, beer gut, impotence, high blood pressure, emphysema, and cirrhosis of the liver. At least I have a chance to dream and a pipe dream long shot of actually realizing my bank account becoming fatter than most athletes and celebrities.

playing to WIN!

Get MONEY!!! Winning a JACKPOT lottery is one MIRACLE I desire for 2019!!! NOW come to my subconscious mind you 6 winning numbers!

Do you eat excess butter, salt, sugar, processed foods?

Most people who are honest will answer yes. Those bad habits also cause, diabetes, weight gain, cancer, high blood pressure, circulation problems, loss of limbs, premature death, fungal problems, renal failure, liver disease, blindness, ulcers, heart disease (number one killer because of bad diet, lack of excercise...etc..), and many more that I probably missed.

So if you're going to use drinkers and smokers while you stand on your soap box, be fair and include those people too.

Have a good day.

Playing MM today is like playing BINGO. In Bingo, B column is from 1-15, I is 16-30, N is 31-45, G is 46-60, O is 61-75. And the mega ball is 1-15.

I predict that soon, we will have a winner where all 5 numbers will be from the I column, 16-30. Just like the last draw where 4 of 5 numbers were from I column, 16-30.

12/13/2013 19 24 26 27 70 12

It may look like its a daunting task to pick the winning numbers from 1 thru 75. But the physics of the game may offer a breakthrough. I think how the balls are released and in what order will definitely affect their chance of getting picked.

I think the I column, 16-30 is highly favored which is why it is my focus. I hope, I am right. I think while mathematics makes it appears hopeless, physics may provide an answer.
