  Mostly for the almost jackpot winners(5/6, 4+1 draw-style lotto games, p3, p4, p5)

  I've never hit a 5/6 or equivalent. Took about 6 months before I got a str on p3.  Pick4 never hit str.

  Just curious what it was like to be at for 20 years or so and finally hit a big pot, or similar experiences/frustrations.....

  Try more of the dumb luck. Always works, even on quickpicks.

  Device a winning strategy of your lottery that you can afford and continue playing. You will win one day, there is no short cut.

  These were the first five times that Virginia drew 104. 

  Tue, Jan 28, 1992 Virginia Pick 3 Night 1-0-4

  Tue, Jan 20, 1998 Virginia Pick 3 Night 1-0-4

  Thu, Mar 5, 1998 Virginia Pick 3 Day 1-0-4

  Tue, Mar 2, 2004 Virginia Pick 3 Night 1-0-4

  Sat, Oct 2, 2004 Virginia Pick 3 Day 1-0-4

  Three of five wins on Tuesday nights, three of five wins on Numerology 2 days (2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th*), four of five wins in January or March. I looked for days matching these criteria and came up with Tue. 03/29/2005. So, I decided that 104 would win on Tue. 03/29/2005. Lo and behold ...

  Tue, Mar 29, 2005 Virginia Pick 3 Night 1-0-4

  Unfortunately, on that day, I forgot my prediction, did not buy a ticket, and did not remember my prediction until I checked the results the next day. 

  I've never won the Pick-3 straight despite repeated playing of 1-0-4 on other Tuesdays with numerology 2. The best I've done was win $100 with Pick-3 boost when playing 1-0-4 (on a Tuesday with Numerology 2, December 29, 2009). One of the Boost numbers was 0-6-8, and they drew 0-6-8. I've also won box twice (played 620/drawn 062 on Friday, Leap Day, 2008, and played 580/drew 058 on Saturday, June 6, 2009)

  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!
