  Lottery Family-

  I wanted to take a poll to gauge feelings when you haven't won in a while.

  Let me know what you think.

  About me: When I joined LP (2014),  I was recently divorced and my gf had just become pregnant. I needed extra cash to be a stay-at-home Dad because I didn't want to travel and miss my son growing up like my Dad did.

  I sought out all the best predictors on LP, then would race to 7-11 just to make sure I submitted my tickets on time. When I lost I felt all of the Top 5 feelings.

  How did you feel?

  LOSER!

  What else can you feel, your not winning so you feel like a loser.

  Especially when you try and your 1-off, so close but no win, it sucks but you know

  you'll be back lol gotta keep trying!

  I have been chasing the big jackpots since 1996 of Oregon Megabucks and Powerball and Mega millions since 2010 so I know that my tickets are a drop in the bucket.  So I stay upbeat about it and now realize that if I win a prize on any of my tickets I get happy because I really only play a little bit at any time.-weshar75

  Nobody goes undefeated. It's part of the game. Pay attention to when you win or lose. When I used to play every day, I found I did better in the colder months, worse in the summer. Why? Who knows. It's just how it was.

  

  List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.

  I feel like you should have added a,"Apathetic," vote because that closely represents what I feel like when I lose, since I fully know I'm most likely going to lose anyways....

  "What's your ADDRESS?" May be the CREEPIEST question EVER asked to a Lottery Winner! O.O WTF?

   

  At first, I found the one digit away draws kind of amusing, but now I am PISSED! 15 or 16 times I was off by just one digit in recent times!🤬 No longer find this amusing, it's making me REALLY angry now!🤬

  Good point, Nikkicute! I never used to win playing 1-off.

  Sept thru Feb were the best. I guess the summer was  my "off" season. Like they say. You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.

  I jump up and down, scream, kick my feet, pound my fists on the floor, run around in crazy circles....

  Just kidding I only did that when Game of Thrones ended.

  On to the next, simple as that.

  grwurston, I'm curious of the strategy you used for Sept-Feb. Please share.

  I completely agree with Karen. Not winning is my default state and on those rare times I do find a win, I'm actually surprised. I usually play twice a week, usually $20 per play with a mix of P3, P4, and P5. Usually hit around 3 times per year. Mostly playing based on hunches and/or seeing what looks like a repeating pattern.

  I frequently come up with 3 of 4 correct digits for P4 or P5, or what I predict actually comes up next day or two. This pattern is how/why I chose my screen name. A system that reliably delivered wins without requiring a huge daily investment would be MOST welcome.

  Heeeeeeey Sully16! I remember you from waaaaay back - I used to follow your predictions. Thanks for responding!

  Although I don't play everyday, I mentally feel like I should win everyday. It feels like growth for me.

  "to be a stay-at-home Dad because I didn't want to travel and miss my son growing up like my Dad did"

  Awww that's so sweet and very nice.

  Having a Dad around is important for children. 

  I'm sure the little guy is having so much fun seeing his Dad everyday.
