If you go out to 300 hits they played a lot of numbers below the top highs....17,14,2,35,23,22,12,10( not a complete list just whats on the top my mind)......I believe go out 300 you will find 1,13,26,36 are there....3 was the only low hitter played.
They made last night pretty hard too with no numbers in last 5 lines.

It's a really hard game, and the odds to pay out are bad. Pick 2 is 50 to 1 and you win $25....most nights a 3 is $10 and its 80 to 1 to get that.
I like 35 but wouldnt surprise to see 2 again and tonight 2,34.....I think 31,34 maybe soon
I do like 35 its a high out to 300....which means it averages a hit every 6 nights. Its due. I expect it will come in a couple times when it does it maybe repeat or skip.
I like #35 too. Number 35 has been a high hitting number for the past few years. In the last 300 draws it's hit 49 times and was expected to have 42 hits so it's still going strong. It might repeat the next time it hits, but in 2022 it's only repeated twice. It's currently sitting at a 16 skip, so it's overdue and worth playing. G5

What's worse is there was only one number from the last ten draws. (#36) G5

Interesting how even with a maximum jackpot the current JPT promotion cant drive enough extra ticket sales to produce a jackpot winner.
Lottery ticket sales for many games have been down lately. Must be the high cost of everything that's cutting into ticket sales.G5
No one is playing this game except me! Lol Had 5 tickets (w/combo) for last night and only snagged a free ticket. I'm going in the wrong direction!
Do you get add combo even though the promo is over? I didn't used to when I played occasionally but now I'm questioning that extra dollar again. It's only helped me win $5. I haven't missed out on anything substantial because I didn't have combo.

I stopped buying the combo after the promo ended. For me, the big thing about buying the combo while the promo was in place was that I might get to play for free. When the jackpot got to two million, I started buying five games with the combo each time I played. Because I hit the instant prize two times, I played for free twice.
I'm going to keep playing JPT without the combo while the 2 million is still available. Once somebody wins it and the jackpot resets, I won't be playing JPT for a while.
To my way of thinking, The Florida Lottery is missing the boat here. Why not extend the promo through the end of July to drive extra ticket sales and produce a jackpot winner? Even though the jackpot is 2 million, it's obvious JPT sales have been low due to all of the rolldowns lately. Part of the reason players dont like JPT is because there aren't frequent jackpot winners. JPT has had only about 45 winners of a jackpot (of all different sizes) with over 300 drawings since February of 2019 when the game began. I also think players refusing to play any given game because there have not been many jackpots won is a silly notion on the players part. They're the ones buying or not buying the tickets. The volume of tickets sold determines how frequently a jackpot is won in any game.
Players are thumbing their noses at a two million dollar jackpot in a game that has relatively low odds to win a jackpot because in the past not many people won a jackpot??? G5

I also get the fact that ticket sales for all lottery games is way down these days. You can see the effect of the high cost of groceries and gasoline on lottery ticket sales just by looking at the amount paid out for any FF5 jackpot. Saturday FF5 jackpots are $10 to 15 thousand dollars lower than they were last year.
The reason FF5 has as many jackpot winners as it does is because the odds are low. They sell $500,000 to $600,000 worth of FF5 tickets every day. That produces sufficient coverage of the 376,992 FF5 combinations for somebody to win the jackpot. (Often times it produce multiple jackpot winners)
You can easily see the effect ticket sales has on MegaMillions or Powerball. Low jackpot amounts dont get won very often, but let the jackpot in either of those games get very big and ticket sales go through the roof. (Lotto Fever sets in) It usually doesn't take very long for the jackpot to be won after that happens. G5

3 straight nights without a winner in FF5.
I'm going on another FF5 hiatus. I have an envelope full of free tickets because that's all I seem able to win. Just going to slowly cash those in. Good luck to all!

I understand, I study the numbers a lot and it seems to do little good. Hopefully your free tickets do something I have had a lot of them do nothing. I cashed in 15 on Saturday and didn't get one free from them. I will say I have gotten 3 fours numbers on frees, 2 of them on a $555 night but most of the time nothing. Turns 20+ frees into 2-3 frees.
The reason you can't get much is the odds are bad, 80-1 to get 3 numbers. If its that high the prize should be near $40 not $10 it is usually. And the payout for a 4 numbers isn't much either unless you get one on a night no top prize winner. But the night someone gets the top prize the 4 number winner is usually only $100....and that's for odds that are like 2500-1
