This thread was inspired by a comment posted by TasBob. I was surprised that some players only hit 1-2 times per year. Most months I hit 1-2 times. But this month I won 4 times so far. Could have been more with all the screw ups I made that cost me $$$. So I'm interested to know how many times do you hit Pick3 and/or Pick 4 a month?

I don't keep up with it but have posted pictures of all my wins on Jordan's thread!....I do pretty good with the scratch cards....won $50 on a $5 card today and $50 a few days ago on a $1 card...that was fun for me.

Every single time I start to take a break from playing p3 I get a win so don't look like I'll ever take one!

As far as p4 goes all I can get on them is one off just about every single time I play!

This-thread-should-...(in-my-opinion)..have-two-questions.

How-many-times-do-you-hit-a-month?

How-much-did-you-spend-in-that-month?

Most-people-I've-asked-here-on-LP-like-to-brag...but-when-asked-how-much-they-spent,-they-tell-me-it's-none-of-my-business..

That-reaction-speaks-volumes....No-need-for-an-answer-then-because-I-know-the-answer...

So-I'm-assuming-you-waste-your-money-on-larger-JP-games-that-leave-you-with-a-99.9%-chance-of-never-hitting-the-JP-in-your-lifetime?

Yeah...I-guess-that's-a-better-choice.

The only reason why it's low is because how you play!

500x3=1,500 1 win

2 win- 250 50 cent straight

3- win-1,000 2x $1 straight

4- win 160-2x 1 box

5- win- 750/1 straight/50 cent straight

5 wins= 3,660

I spend at least $400 a lottery a month for all states

3,660x12= 43,920 a year!

$$$$ will come be patient!!!!

Let's do the math. The "jackpot" in a pick 3 is a straight, the odd of winning that is 1 in a 1000, or 0.1%. So that leaves you with a 99.9% chance of never hitting the jackpot. The straight pick4 ia 99.99% of not hitting the jackpot.

But I get your point.

Powerball is 99.9999999965777% chance of not winning

Mega is 99.99999999613737% chance of not winning

What I tend to go with is overall odd of winning anything (ticket price or more). PB is 4.016%% and mega is 6.798% of winning something vs front or back pair at 1% (but you get 50$ back instead of 1$). So doing a very rough translation of stats, after spending 100$ in all 3 games, you "should" get about 50$ (with front or back) from pick 3 and a minimum of 4$-7$ in the other games (since the wins could include higher prizes).

When you spend 1,000$ all the returns will be about 10 times the previous calculated amount, even when you can win the straight games, and spending 10,000$ including the straight pick 4.

That being said, not fan of any of those games and would rather do scratch offs or Illinois lotto and lucky day.

All computerized lottery is rigged. Yet we still invest our hard working money hoping for a potential win. Lottery is an addiction!

Not in one day, long term, months or years. You can't print 10K worth of tickets in a day at a store (Maybe, but you will anger all the other customers waiting.)
