four4me,
Thanks for your response. I'm still stuck on the jackpot games in actual play, but I'm busy on the sidelines with Pick 4. Your response indicates, as I suspected, that sound money management is a critical part of playing a daily game. I think it's definitely important to guard against that craving for action when playing a game that is drawn daily.
You've given me some valuable insights and inspirations for making Pick 4 selections. The more I watch things, the more convinced I become that Pick 4 might present the best chance of actually making considerable money at lottery play. I'm thinking that I'll try to play some numbers based on historical data along with some numbers based on simple probability exposure. Of course, I'll also have to play one number as a QP for the dumb luck factor...lol.
Thanks again for giving us all the benefit of your experience. I'll be sure to let everyone know how things are going for me in actual play once I'm able to get under way in an organized fashion. I plan to keep good records.
Good luck,
aye'
