  Same as always but I'm not going to join the "I played, I lost, it's fixed" club because of it.

  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.

  The House (lottery) always wins. Why is that?  People don't read the signatures.

  I will discard my vote;  you didn't have "Like a red-headed stepchild" as an option.

  Ever since they played with the games by adding numbers killing the lower tier prizes the last two years has been ZERO for me. Almost to the walk away point.

  The summer was rough. My birthday did not win at all between June 2 and September 2, at least in the U.S. and Canada.

  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!

  Well I did not get a 4 number hit in oregon megabucks all year long and my multi-state wins were far and few between.  I got hammered but 2019 is a new year so good luck to all.-weshar75

  Down a bit, but not too bad (a little over $200 down total for 2018). I mostly play Lucky For Life, which has relatively decent odds for smaller prizes, so that probably has a lot to do with it. Even just 2 matching white balls wins more than the ticket cost. A wheel occasionally produces far more in prize money than the cost of the tickets, offsets a chunk of the losses every time that happens. Dropping $36 to play all lucky balls guarantees $4 back or 2 'free' tickets, if I'm not honing in on 2-3 lucky ball numbers. No single line winner of more than $200 yet, though. Best I did was a wheel that paid out several $20 & $25 prizes. Felt like a funny combination of 'woohoo' and '<snip>' when I was checking those haha.

  Won one top prize, KENO 8 spot(8/8) or KENO8 in the national KENO lottery last year for NOK 50,000,-, about US$ 5,800, and of course a lot of smaller prizes through the year.

  So I made a profit last year.
