Update 1/3/13

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year.  Since this is a new year, I decided to update my blog. Haven't had much luck in the lottery or scratch offs lately, although I did recently win $50 in a scratch off. One thing I have decided to do to actually have money playing the lottery is this: I have decided that if I win $20 or more, I would cash it in and go directly to my bank and deposit it into my account. If you can successfully  make it a habit, your account can grow. Even though you may not win the big one, the smaller amounts won can add up and make you successful in playing the lottery. Since we all have New Year Resolutions, this is a good one to start and see how it goes. If you read this, I would like to hear from you and your winnings. And, if you have any inputs, please be sure to post them as well. Wishing everyone and Prosperous and Happy New Year and good luck playing the lottery.

Scratch Off Lottery Tickets

In this blog, I will talk about scratch off tickets. Again, as I stated before in the previous blogs, it is pure luck. What I will discuss is some strategies you can use to improve your odds of winning. I generally play the $2, $3 and $5 tickets. Every once in a while I play the $7 tickets and very rarely the $10 tickets. I have won my fair share of money in scratch off tickets. I have won $200 twice in Break the Bank. I win alot of $2.00, $3.00, $5.00 $10.00 winnings. Occasionally I win $20.00 and $50.00 and sometimes $100.00. My strategy: Each scratch off ticket has the odds posted on the back of the ticket. Example of odds 1 in 4.45 (including break-even prizes). This is a starting point. Again, mostly luck, but I use this strategy and it has worked for me. Also, to increase the odds of winning, especially at the larger amounts, buy tickets that are new. Go to txlottery.org and look up scratch off tickets. They have the number of winning tickets still available. They will also...

Texas Two-Step and Cash Five

This is my 2nd blog on the lottery. In my first blog I wrote about the Powerball and Mega Millions lottery. In this blog I will write about the Texas Two-Step and Cash Five. Again, as stated in the first blog, winning the lottery is pure luck. There is no set way to win. What I am discussing in these blogs is how you can increase your chances of winning something (may not be the big one) but at least get something back. The Texas Two-Step consists of 4 numbers plus a bonus ball. Unlike the Powerball and Mega Millions, the Texas Two-Step does not have a multiplier, i.e., a powerplay or mega ball option for a $1.00 more. In the Texas Two-Step you choose a bonus number from 1-35 and four other numbers from 1-35. Pick the bonus ball: win $5.00 minimum Bonus Ball plus 1 number: $7.00 Bonus Ball plus 2 numbers $20.00* Three numbers: $20.00* Bonus Ball plus 3 numbers: $50.00* Four numbers: $1501* Bonus Ball plus four numbers: Jackpot (whatever the jackpot is at that drawing) *Me...
