I'm not happy, again. But then, what's new?
No first or second place winners, this past Tuesday AND Wednesday nights.

What's it going to take, folks?
I run through my share of lotto funds every week, exactly as my signature says.

It comes out to several grand a year, that I spend.
All in an attempt to win a significant amount.
I can't go any higher.

Is there some kind of pool going on, among LP members.
I don't think I could participate, but I'd just like to know.

I just get zapped every week, with the amount I spend. I hate it. I hate it.
I'm afraid I'm going to be broke the rest of my life.

Mr. Groppo
- 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.

Mr Groppo,

Just friendly advice. MM and PB are enormous jackpot games with enormous odds. You can not buy enough tix to make a difference. Therefore, buy 1 ticket for each game. Just 1. You are "in the game". If you ever win, it's going to be one ticket, whether it's by itself, or with 10 others.

If you really want to buy a bunch of tix. Play MM. Buy 15 tix with all 75 numbers and all 15 megaball numbers. You are guaranteed to win back at least a dollar, maybe once in a while you will win back more. I ran a little experiment with MM last year where I had a set of 15 lines with all 75 numbers and 15 megaball numbers. I didn't play these for real...just an experiment. I checked them after each draw. At the end of the year the cost would have been $1575. The payback would have been $154. Not quite a 10% return.

Good luck!

Mr. Groppo

The odds of a $1M win are 1:18,492,204 and only 19,174,117 tickets were sold, what did you expect?

Did you know that Powerball had two straight no second prize winners in a row?

I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

Mr. Groppo

The scenario did it again on Friday AND Saturday night where there were no first or second place winners in this draw!

Have a look at Powerplay.......if there is a winner of 2 Million on powerplay there is no winners on division 2.......they only want to give one person a million. P.S Talking of Powerball........I picked it up too!!!!

I think that Powerball should stop playing the Powerball play multiplier effect because that's too much money already!

See that it did once again when the Mega Millions posted their draw results on Tuesday January 17th! They're currently on a 3 consecutive draws where there is no jackpot and second prize winner in both Mega Millions and Powerball.

Learn to identify rigged lotteries...the MM and Pb is cooked its becoming very odd now I must agree as an outsider.Blame your multiplier!!! They cant have a 5/5 on both multiplier and normal.Their aim is to make money and NOT to give money away

Surprise, surprise, surprise, Sgt Carter!!!!!!!!!!

Uh....show ANY lottery whose aim is to lose money, not make money.

Fact is, ticket sales are not high enough to generate consistent jackpot or second prize winners. Considering the odds of the games, I buy one tic per draw.
