  I don't listen to my gut very often. But there are times when I should.

  In PB, the #16 red ball (The Power Ball) has hit twice in 2025.  Yesterday my gut said to me "maybe you should play it tonite."

  Of course I didn't.... G5 

  But then all I probably would have won was 8 bucks.  (The PowerPlay number was 2 last night.)

  Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

  I played because that's my birthday, got 4 dollars.

  Trust your gut, trust your instincts.

  

  When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend?  Good  Luck!!!

  I do, now that I have gotten older, especially on playing the lottery.  Just by playing on a feeling lately has put me in the + $ side for the year when it comes to scratchers. Not so well on the PB or Lotto Am.....The Mrs and I have the annual Christmas scratcher-fest coming up next week. 1 book of $30 scratchers & 1 book of $10 scratchers       

  Good luck to all if you are  playing PB tomorrow.

  Yes, I trust my gut a lot.

  It is very accurate for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks.

  But I swear, it lies to me about lottery numbers...

  

  Best wishes and good luck to all who play with or without gut feelings....

  I should have listened to my gut feeling yesterday, but I completely forgot to play. I had a deep  gut feeling that 811 was going to hit yesterday but completely forgot to play it. Lo and behold, 811 came up yesterday!

  Either my gut never tells me anything or there is too much noise.

  One or the other.

  I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

  May Fortuna, goddess of chance or lot vindicate me.

  I had a deep gut feeling that 081 was going to come up yesterday and even put 018 box on a play slip and at the last second threw out 018 and put 814 straight instead. Lo and behold 018 showed up yesterday! D'oh!

  Always stick with your 1st choice.
