    Do you play it?

    If so, do you have your own selected numbers or do you just take preselected cards, etc.


    And do your numbers have any meaning? or just random?

    I've tried both methods and had no luck for quite some time. The place I hit it 'big' is in scratch off tickets.

    Same here. Never anything big, though. The most I've won was ten dollars. Played the big number a few times, hoping I'd have beginners luck (I still go to work everyday, so that didn't happen.)

    Most I won was $40 on a $5 ticket. Before that, $25 and $20 on $2 tickets.

    I bought a ticket once but forgot to watch the drawing. It always ate at me the small possibility that I could've won and totally missed out on claiming the winnings.

    I play when the jackpot is high, and only once a week at that. I have done scratchoffs with very little winnings so its not a temptation to me to become a lotto junkie.

    Yup.

    I have my own numbers and I do quick picks. I DO NOT buy scratch offs. Waste of money. Granted the lottery give you horrible odds to begin with...but you're still better off getting lucky with a quick pick or picking your own numbers than buying a scratch off.

    And do your numbers have any meaning? or just random?

    Phone number, house number, birthdate, kids ages, etc....those are the general numbers that everyone plays. I do that and I just pick random ones. One thing I don't do is play everyday. Which is prob. why I don't win shit. I'll spend about $10, $15 every two weeks or so playing the lottery.

    I keep saying that I will play it (and maybe hit), but I always forget to. My grandmother is a lottery junkie. Who knows how many thousands she's spent on playing her "numbers," as she calls them.

    Yeah, my aunt was/is the same way. There are so many gamblers in my family and I'm one too, but I gamble on things that I know I would get instant results. Like cards. I won't bet on horses or games or anything like that. Unlike most people though, I have some restraint.

    I don't ever play. But I should. I do pretty well on raffles and sports betting. The raffles are always part of my son's sport and we have won at two different times, $1200 pit bikes. And I won $2000 on this year's Super Bowl. And I am not a sports better, I just do it in conjunction with the small town bar that is in my home town, when I visit. But I am always on the Super Bowl pool. This year, it finally paid off.

    I almost won $5000 on the Super Bow pool this year. Cash money. Taxmotherfuckingfree. If the scores were reversed, Saints 17 and Colts 31, I would've hit. I....WAS....THOROUGHLY....P-I-S-S-E-D. Oh well, that's my damn luck anyway.

    Ny, I was sleeping when the final happened, and the small town bar pool I was part of had the "home" team reversed on the grid, so I thought I missed it...very confusing...till I got the $$.
