  I'm so sick of it. I've not counted how much money I've spent on draw games since I started over a year ago (thanks media frenzy of the 1 billion PB jackpot). 

  Jackpot draw games are depressing and disappointing now. I've played and played and played. And never a return but the same $2 or free ticket. I've even been making sure I hit all the numbers using multiple strategies. Can't seem to hit. I've played everything from powerball to mega to cheapo state lotteries with just 4/35 numbers. I've been consistent. Faithful. Patience. Optimistic. Positive. Not needy. Strategic. Non of it has worked and now here I am 1 day away from homelessness...writhing in agony at the sorrow of a jackpot unfulfilled.

  draw games feel more convenient to instant games, but it's seems I always win something off the instant. Why are the draw games so poorly paid out? It's just making me feel really stupid and worthless playing, hoping, wishing, believing...only to end up failed and dashed. I have to keep remembering, only 1 out of 1 million combinations will win. All the 999,000 combinations will NOT win the jackpot. fool me. 

  I think I might have somehow become addicted out of habit, but hopefully like others I've broken...this one gets laid to rest. I guess it's fun if you have the money and don't need the money...but since I need the money, it's just becoming a losing proposition. I also believe, especially state run games...that THEY pick WHEN someone wins. They'll increase the jackpot and give the jackpot when and where they feel like giving it. So all the praying and crying to the lord Jesus won't help because the <snip>s <snip>ing control that <snip>. It's not up to him, it's up to THEM.

  I wish I wasn't so negative about this...but I can't help but feel this way. So many close calls. Life hasn't changed. And I can't keep waiting for a <snip> jackpot game to change it.

  Save money and buy Scratch-Off ticket. I hear so many people in Michigan hit big in Scratch-Off. I hear one person won 4 million and other won 300,000. If you win you win. It better then playing number. They got some crazy Scratch-Off game. Cash for life 5,000 week for life. You can do lottery pool and put little bit of cash in. Just some idea.

  Sorry that life has you so down.  Someone here use to post a tag line to the effect that the lottery spend millions ensuring that the game is random and that there are no patterns. I believe that. There are no magic systems.  One lucky ticket is all it takes.  The odds are so lousy that buying a thousand more makes no difference.   

  Hope things get better for you soon.

  Check out my username " I hear voices". And I do, the first time I played I predicted every number and couldve won 600 million dollars ( jan 09 2016). I remember trying to tell my mom and she blew  me off because she was watching a movie with her "husband". it was the day after her 65 bday too. I wanted to talk to my mentor but i knew he wouldnt respond to my email. I went to my sister house but I didnt bother to ring the door bell because I didnt think she would believe me. I didnt believe I could do it so I didnt play.I dont have supportive family and I do suffer from low esteem because I have aspergers and a learning disability. The second time intuition I was told the strategy  to use which  did work but I messed up because i didnt listen nor did pay attention. A week later, I ran into a  guy who seen previously at the liquor store and he hands me over $2 and i had a feeling I would see him. So i am asking myself is this a sign to recheck my numbers. so i said to myself naw,i dont know what i am doing. i cant do this. This method might not even work.i just went on and fried some chicken. later that night , i checked my numbers,and i had 4 right. all i had to do was check my numbers and i would have won... its was so simple and easy and i ruined my chance. my family hates that i have to this gift. they tell me i wont win. the only person who believed in probably thinks im stupid. he was someone who happened to live down the street from me and he said he saw me walking down his block everyday to school. its been a year since i been able to predict numbers. my hater sister said if i am so good at predicting numbers why dont i go work in a casino.

  I guess it will come back one day.I remember tying to force it last year after I realized a month and weeks later i predicted the lottery. The universe is teaching me a lesson for now. Its easier to predict numbers than look for a job with a associates job and have limited skills.

  Don't feel bad, I'm in the same boat.  I seriously need to stop playing the 3-digit.  Many years ago it was so fun because I was hitting $500 at least once or twice a month.  It's nothing like that now and they took away the "Human People" that would press the button on the machine. 

  Now I feel it's rigged and they can play whatever video drawing they want.

  Oh well, it was fun, but the State got greedy and I need to let my addiction to this lottery go.

  i'm agreeing completely 1 big nudnik now,for a minutem boring to many, so if i don't play it i am alright. But, i don't 'wait' 4 it to happen. I used to say, "if it comes out my four or five with a pb or five with a mega, i will be happy.

  No need for all of them, ya know ... Personally?Doing well with scratch-offs, and another STRAIGHT/EXACT with pick 4 just an evening ago.Much better odds.

   

  I love better odds with pick 4 and pick 3 and trying cash five too ,rather than PB Mega.Sad also when it get so high, you're most times

  seeing only 1 person, why is that? dozens can win in multi-states, across U.S.A., where all can at least clear a cool 1/2 mill$ or 1 million or so when it's so high i.e., over 50 to 100 million...I will never get why sometimes they only let "one" or 2 win.Not right. So,i stopped also playing it but still love CASH 5. Now if it is really high, i might grab a tix,if not i lose no sleep over it. I feel better focusing on games with better odds.

  $47,000 WON from playing lottery games in 2023. . . #Break The Bank $$$

  P4: 0350  3500.0530.0809 [FLIP] 0908.0904.9080.3211.4213.7447.7664.8130.8140.8150.9152.

  (I wish we could quote only part of a post, not the entire thing). One year? People play for 25 years and dont win squat, just sayin. As far as "rigged"?

   

  I'm on the fence with that one. When using balls, no rigging (imo). RNG? Thats another story, perhaps?

   

  Supercash (here in WISC), has had a few multiple winning tickets on the SAME night. Why would the lottery LET that person win? It doesn't seem in their best interest.
