I haven't posted in a while. Pretty fed up with VA lottery. I don't like the new site especially searching numbers, the scratchers suck and they're pulling too many from sales without paying top prizes. The extra chance prizes are no good, imo we need cash for our losses. In my honest opinion pick number draws have been pretty terrible.
I picked 938 and 466 off here and stuck with them in hope of recouping some losses, not to mention losing on 929 for an entire year, then missing it when it finally fell. I've spent close to or more than $5,000 on combos and 50/50s on 466/938 combined over the last year. Obviously it's not going well. I find it extremely suspicious that almost every mirror, flip and one off of those two numbers can fall not once but multiple times yet we still don't get them.
I don't know what else to say other than if I win even some of that money back, I still have debt and I'm not playing anymore. For someone like me, who works alot and won't have a 401k or retirement, I was hoping to win cash five just so I could live a little and see and do some things, mainly so I could go part time and go back to school. I've been playing the same number on cash five for almost three years.
I feel bad for bedelta even though he/she stays positive, I try to stay positive too, I feel bad for myself, but I refuse to feel bad for a company that boasts record profits while their customers are having less fun playing. I've enjoyed reading posts and predictions here more than playing and thanks for that, but I don't know how you do it.
I've got a huge huge clear plastic zipper bag from bedding and it's full of almost all my losing scratchers and pick number tickets, if I ever win big I'm taking it up there. I'm going to show them how crappy they are then I'm getting my money and leaving for good.
Ouch! I feel your pain. No combo of either 466 or 938 has fallen since November 18th of 2017. That's a long time for a 6-way and a 3-way not to fall. The probability of no combo of either of those numbers falling for that long are 4.9 x 10-5. That's about 1-in-20,470. It sucks. And I totally agree with you about the scratchers and even the prizes in the extra chance lottery being lousy. OTOH, where the Pick 3 is concerned, at least Virginia still draws balls, so there isn't any possibility of computerized cheating. I sincerely believe the Virginia Pick 3 draws are legit and I've studied the results of the pre-draws and all that stuff at length.
About the only thing I can tell you is that luck seems to run in bunches. When I'm not winning, I bet less often and less money while I wait for my luck to turn. And I (almost) never play cold numbers, though I did play that 466 recently when I saw a decent workup for it.
I hope your story has a happy ending. If you ever get hot, please post numbers so the rest of us can recoup our losses, too!
