What's the dumbest thing you did playing the lottery?Prev TopicNext Topic

I will tell you the 2nd dumbest thing I did and that was trying to read MO's yellow posting. I stood up and looked down,tried to view it from the sides,put sunglasses on... I just about self detached my retina from my eye socket trying to figure out what he wrote. Then I was about to replay after almost going partially blind and WAA LAA. As I am typing this reply without checking the"include this quoted text in your reply" it appears in dark grey letters and says
"played te lottery...another one "bites" de dust>>>>>in Penn"

OnlineOften when I play an Evening Pick 3 I find out later the the Evening number I played hit the Nidday.
Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

OfflineThe Ancient Lottery LoreKeeper replied, "A past draw lies at the centerpoint of a circle - a black hole. Two overlapping circles whose centerpoints sit on the circumference of the other share a Common Radius. This Radius is a Wormhole, a Time Machine. It allows the past draw (info) to safely travel into and beyond the present draw's event horizon without negative distortion, thereby creating an entanglement (synchrony) between the two communicating draws. This entangled space or portal is the Vesica Piscis - the white hole or Stargate through which the next draw is born."

Don't worry about it. If your method is good you'll make up for it no time at all.
Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.
In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!

The dumbest thing that I've done playing in the lottery. Hand a family member money to keep a number in lottery while I was out of town for holiday. At the last minute a lady friend call get her a ticket also put in the same why I was playing mine, thank God she only want her ticket for $1. st & $1 . box for that 3 day both draws. New Year Day it fall straight. My friend call to said we hit it what are you going to do with all your loot. I had drive my friends crazy talking about this one number. Then I call back home. My brother answered the phone I'm all excited, dead silent. Sis , I tell my wife I don't have any money. So when to take a nap , my wife checked my wallet. When she saw your lottery money , she believe I was just holding out on her. She went so far to tell me she get more then half of it & she don't believe they had a draw on NEW Year's Day. I paid my friend out of my pocket for her win. My mother heard them discussing this while preparing to go out New Years eve. So, when my mothers friends came to pick her up. She had them stop by the store to see if it was a drawing on New Year's Day . She get a ticket for me & for her. She tell the other ladies they play the number too. My mother made me promise not to tell them how bad they mess up wait until I wasn't upset . It took 18 months. Never get a person that don't play the lottery to put your number in for you. My brother, want-ed. to may good the money his wife had took & my losses. Him & my sister -in law believe they could pay me back. I increase my bet for more for 3 weeks st. All my mother's friends they were sitting with her doing the New Year's Day drawing my mother fainted when the last number was draw on the pick 4. Oh man we're going shopping ! They got her together with the smelling sauce. My mama all way believe you should prepare for what you want, get serious about, play it like you own it give thanks for it. I when so far to tell my mother what day I would taken us to the lottery headquarter to get the checks & which day it would been best to go to the bank & deposit them. The was no way, we could known my sister -in- law didn't get the lesson . On respecting other people things. If you ask for something that is in his or her purse or wallet if they say yes, it they don't have it on them. You go get it & hand it to them. Let them hand it to you. Take two steps back so the person is comfortable . -

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Not checking my numbers when the clerk gives them back to me. One time I was playing ALL the numbers of a Sum 7 in the 4 way (boxed) and failed to check my tickets and guess what - sum 7 came out and I DIDNT have it. If I remember right I had the winning number on a playslip which I forgot to hand the clerk!!! Missed out on $200.
