  Day,  week, month.

   

  It looks like some of you are that good at this.  Wish I was.  There must be a system.

  Do some of you have an IRA fund?

  Do some of you have where you are settled in for the rest of your lives  (interest making money on it)?

  Wow...14 hours and no replies.

  Nobody wants to admit how much they spend. Most spend more than they plan.

  I buy 1 mega for Tues & Fri $2/ wk

  1 PB & NY Lotto for Wed & Sat $6/ wk

  Sometimes I will buy a cash4life ($2) or take5 ($1)

  I don't usually buy pick 3 or pick 4

  All totaled, it comes to $10 - $12 / week

  Depending on if anyone has the numbers I think comes out I will play $20 worth on the big jackpots.   Instant tickets I will play maybe in a month $3 ticket or $5 ticket. 

   

  You're right hours later and no one else wants to admit.

  Right now $10 per week on Mass Megabucks Doubler. When the JP for my favorite game, Tri State Megabucks, exceeds $2 million I'll abandon the Mass game and spend $20 per week on TSMB. Also if the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpots exceeds $500 million I'll spend $10 per draw on those games until the JP is won.

  I spend more than I should. :(

  The IRA I have is nothing to write home about. :(

  I'm definitely not settled, and for my age, I should be. :(

  So bad news, all around, for me. I too need a system. :(

  • Don't chase the numbers you play.
    
  • Play only numbers you've already played, plus however many random picks.
    
  • But, ALWAYS the regular numbers you play.  This will make you a winner, not a chaser.
             (so far, though, I've yet to win any significant lotto prize)
    
  • Oh, but always know where your tickets are, as well as your ticket's deadline.

  More than what I win! But I have a dream! Like MLK says.
