This is a playful banter question.
Well, would you quit playing PB/ MM/MM if that became the rule?

Personally- l don't know if l would quit. How about you?

Heck yeah it still would be way more than we could ever earn working at a 9 to 5. No matter what the taxes are gonna be or national debt, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Absolutely, I'm still undecided about if I would take the cash option or annuity now. I guess it depends on how much.

I'd like to say I'd quit those games but I'm playing for 5 + 0 anyway, truth be known.

If I was playing hoping for the jackpot then I would quit, for the reasons stated in the thread about why do players take the cash.

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.

Define " don't play" ?...because when l buy 2 tickets for either PB or MM, l would like to think that l am playing. What you are saying in effect is that if all the numbers on my ticket matched those after the draw.." l would not be counted as a winner"...because LB says so?
Are you really from New York City? Sometimes I seriously doubt that.You sure you not from Wisconsin?

Since you just playing for 5+0, if you did hit the JP, can I have the jackpot minus the 1 or 2 million from the 5+0?
