  I don't play MM OR PB. I don't need that amount of money. Yes, I'd give pretty much all of it away if I won it.

   

  I only play Missouri Show Me Cash and Mo Lotto. Plus pick 3&4 here and there.  I play three lines one night a week for Show Me Cash when it gets up over a 100K.  I play Mo Lotto Twice a week with two lines but only cause it gives a you a free line. 

  I don't spend alot and some day I may win, or I may never win but I gotta try at least.

  With Pick-3 or Pick-4, anyone could win more than $1 Million if they know what numbers to pick and play them at certain times of the year. A whole lot better than Pick-5 and Pick-6, as well as MM &PB....

  A wheel for either would be 100% (18,5,4,5)=285
  
  Or 100%(18,5,4,4)=664
  
  Might be fun for those with the money to burn while waiting to win a jackpot.

  Bob,

  Either everyone is a whole lot smarter than I or don't want to ask lol

  pkease explain in simple terms what your saying about the FL Cash 5. How does (18-5-4-5)=285

  and (18-5-4-4)=664. Also, the 3 drawing you use as an example hiw does that relate?  In. Texas we have a 5/37 so trying to follow you here.

  You have my upmost respect as the MASTER of the Lottery

  Thanks

  Stay In The Vortex, you'll be happy you did ..... Random? Seriously? You want me to believe that?

  i think winning thousands "back" is a great thing. Darth, i have seen some in staten isld,ny and my jersey area, win (After spending much)

  However,they were really just breaking "even." I am always "way up and don't spend much like that." I love it.

   

   I just won again tonight literally(too many times to count here, but let's just say it's pick four again and the pick three, "same number, dozen + times." I was so happy,still can't sleep,this entire week has been win win win for me(same numbers too!)

   

  I'm so happy,as mi previous post,even this past week demonstrate how much i have been winning,with "certain numbers,for me,that are repeat wins,every other month it seem."I love it. Good luck to you too." I believe it's all just a matter of luck and one's timing as i have not spent"near"the cost you're quoting above and i still win."Night all.

   

   

  Adios

  How do you win off the same numbers?  They can't repeat that often

  BodP is talking about wheels, their coverage and guarantee's.  He wants to match 4 when all the winning numbers are all even or all odd and the game is rolled down and no one match 5.  The combinations he shows have all odd numbers.

  100% (18,5,4,5)=285 wheel will match 4 if all five winning numbers are among the 18
  100%(18,5,4,4)=664 wheel will match 4 if four winning numbers are among the 18

  You don't have to have money to burn to check this out, you just have to check all the previous drawings to see how often all the winning numbers were all odd or all even.  You'll probably find if you had brought 285 or 644 tickets for every drawings there was a roll down waiting for all the numbers to come up all even or all odd you would have burned a ton of money.  He is trying to do on a budget what the Michigan couple did with the Massachusetts Windfall game when it rolled down.

  *Note: I checked and the maximum roll down amounts for matching 4 is $555, any amount more than that is paid to the match 3 winners.

   * you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *

  No I haven't.  Ohio's Rolling Cash5(5/39) doesn't have a roll down, its jackpot continues to roll until someone match all five numbers.  In the past it has exceeded $500K before being won.

  With Fastasy5(5/37) roll down limit of $555 for a match4, I doubt if it would be worth trying with Florida's game.  I don't track that game so I can't run a simulation.

  LP has listed among its wheels an Abbred 4 if 5 of 18 with 257 lines which cost less to play.

  How do you win off the same numbers?  They can't repeat that often

  You are right that the same set of numbers do not repeat often. But whose to say that he didn't have several set of numbers that he uses to win the game. It certainly wouldn't hurt(if I had the money) to spend $1K on a Cash-3 lotto game for a shot at $500K or the crazy shot at betting $10K for a shot at winning $5 Million. That would insane for anyone to try and spend $10K on Cash-3 without some serious planning and a lot of money to throw away. But the rewards are there if you have the money to start out with.

  I play $5 straight on the same number on Daily 4, sometimes $10. A hit for $10 would win $50,000. There are some hardy (brave? foolish?) souls out there that will bet $100 or more straight on a number to win $500,000 or more.

  That won't be me! LOL.

  $10 is the bravest (stupidest) I get. Only once in a great while.

  A Florida player bet $184 on 715, it hit, but he lost the tickets.

  "$10 is the bravest (stupidest) I get. Only once in a great while."

  You can play that way for 2500 drawings and still win $25,000, but "once in a great while" is even better.

  The lottery can only be won with one ticket, I mean, it can only be won with one line, no matter how many lines-tickets you bought only one will win, unless you bought duplicate lines (Tickets).
