In the last 6 to 8 weeks ago my winnings have dropped off to NOTHING! I usually play the big three Powerball Mega Millions and Lotto America. In addition lucky for life and Weekly grand. I have a disciplined approach of playing only a specific set of numbers I have devised from historical data. 6 to 8 weeks ago my winning anything came to an abrupt halt. Scratch-offs included. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I agree I used to play an instant ticket game in no and I won almost 300 or more every month for over a year

all of a sudden zilch for months now ...my theory is. In my state you can now play these games on line and I think everybodiesgrabbin up all the prizes by playing big lots with their credit cards..most my theory

scratchers too ...I've seen people chucking hundreds into the machine at a time also people are buying whole packs of the scratchers at a time so......yup I'm with yuh....somethings up

No, the lottery is not rigged. What happened is that you experienced a lucky streak. This caused an irreversible change in your brain chemistry which is commonly called "addiction." This change in your brain chemistry is irreversible, it will never go away. Now that you are permanently addicted, your luck has run out and you are doomed to a lifetime of gambling addiction and the ups and downs of fortune. Just like all the rest of us, including the folks who are in a state of "denial."

What passes for good news here is that you are not alone. There are a lot of us and tens of thousands of new gambling addicts are being minted every day. I find that having a sense of humor about it helps, but not everybody here agrees.

Ok my strategy is to always play the same numbers in each game over and over with the mathematical probability of hitting going up each time, however small that probability is. Over time the winnings have very slowly grown to a point where they were almost paying for about 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of the tickets. THEN... Suddenly a few weeks ago I quit winning practically anything ACROSS the board. I play 6 games and three scratchers again, consistently, and wow practically nothing. What caused me to really notice this massive crash was the fact that it came exactly with the release of a new set of scratchers.

I know I am sounding nutty with "the lottery is rigged" crap but something has definitely changed and I wanted to see if anyone else noticed this?

Maybe it's only " rigged" for you.

You're ok don't buy into Joe Biden there trying to rationalize the whole deal ect I agree with you

youre not nutty or an addict.. ... once they smell you winning or a lot of people winning

they immediately go into action to stop it...did you see all the winners with that 0000 combo ?

one thing you can bet on is they are going to mount a full scale attack so it doesn't happen again

that's one thing you can bet on....you're ok I'm one who agrees with you.mass a choosettes

is the most corrupt state of them all ..... between the state mafia ..and the high rollers who pum in

a million bucks a game for a money grab nobody really stands a chance not rigged indeed.

Wanna bet?...

Say it ain't so J.G. Aren't you the same guy with that repetitive statement here on the LP; you know the one "Keeps a lick'in and keeps on tick'in ! And now we find out you don't even play.

Sometimes it's extremely difficult if not practically impossible to get people to disregard the smoke and mirrors. Instead, they seem to enjoy the ride down the proverbial Garden Path....... helpless to extricate themselves from being totally deceived by known forces in their midst who would argue that they have come here for the sole purpose of helping people. These forces would also argue that they have a winning MIRACLE system; that is, until asked to post numbers before the drawing !

PB: 1 in 25 for winning anything.... Source https://www.lotto.net/powerball/prizes

MM: 1 in 24 for winning anything.... Source https://www.lotto.net/mega-millions/prizes

LA: 1 in 16.94 for winning anything. Source https://www.powerball.com/games/lotto-america

Scratch-offs depend on the state and dollar amount from 1:5 down 1:3 range. Better off to play newer games when they initially come out as more wins are probable, to entice players(based on personal experience over the last 20 yrs)

Good luck in beating the odds that are stacked against you severely, right off the bat.
