Well, I changed my budget again... I just dropped it to $20 a week playing two lines in MM/PB (every drawing) with my own set of numbers. I always do powerplay and megaplier.

I like to spend as much money as I can afford on the lottery. I enjoy playing and do not enjoy having to budget- even though, realistically, I have had to do it; or be frugal. If I like a draw or some number's I want to gamble..

I am a Leo, and even though I do have day's of doubt- with the lottery; I like to take chance's, risk's if I know I can win some money, any amount, really..

And hopefully get a good return on my investment for the day..

I just keep mental track of how much I spend. I have not been playing MM & PB in favor of local game, Mass Cash. Still losing money but not as much.
I'm spending about $7 a week on Mass Cash. I used to spend about $17 a week when I played MM & PB for both draws. Good luck everybody!

Hi maringoman,

How are you doing on Mass Cash? There was only one time that I won 10 dollars on a Mass Cash ticket. The majority of time I only get 2 numbers out of the 5 numbers and win nothing. A few times I've bought 2 tickets per game in hopes that might make a difference but it didn't. The odds are so much better to win the 100,000 on Mass Cash and people win weekly but no luck for me. I wish our state had a better state lottery like NY or Ohio where a person could win millions instead of Megabucks wish is very hard to win and jackpots are not that high.

Hi IPlayWeekly,

Good that you dropped your playing to 20 dollars a week it still keeps you in the game for those drawings. Like yourself I also always do Powerplay and Megaplier. It would be hard to take to know that if I had just spent 1 more dollar and won 2nd place playing MM that I could have won anywhere from 2 to 5 million more just by spending that extra dollar. Though I do understand why many people do not want to spend the extra money on MM and PB since some people feel they can use that extra money to buy more tickets hoping for more chances.

I spend what I can afford. I'll be spending less for 2014 due to the $2,900 I gave to the dentist yesterday :-(
