Mid June update

 I recently posted about how the Texas Lottery had a digital coupon for the Cash Five game. The coupon was for buy five Cash Five tickets and get one free. The way you would redeem this coupon was by the Texas Lottery app. The app had an update and when this happened, the app did not work. I tried to reload it and still did not work. I noticed a news report the other day that stated that the app was down and that the Texas Lottery Commission was working on a fix. During this time, I was unable to use the coupon. So for about one week I lost the opportunity to use that coupon. I don' know if it will be extended since the app was down. As of June 15, 2023, the app is up and running. I did have to do an update to the app. I was able to use the coupon today and got six tickets for the price of five. I generally have a set of numbers that and I use as well as some quick picks. I also use this coupon to get the six quick picks so it gives me more of a chance to win. Unfortunately, I have...

Here is a new post for those who enjoy playing the Texas lottery. For the month of June the Texas Lottery has a digital coupon you can use to get a free ticket. On the Texas Lottery app, there is a digital coupon that allows you to buy five Cash 5 tickets and get one Cash 5 ticket free. Just use your phone and click digital coupon, then hit redeem coupon and hand your phone to the store clerk where they will scan the QR code and it will print out your tickets. Of course these tickets will have to be quick picks. This promotion will expire on June 30, 2023. I have been trying a new strategy when it comes to playing the lottery. I had stopped playing for about 6 weeks. When I started playing again, I did some research. I went to the Texas Lottery website and looked up the previous wining numbers for the Powerball, Mega Millions and Lotto Texas games. I looked to see what numbers came put most often within the past several weeks. I wrote down the numbers that seemed to come up most often ...
While winning the lottery is a matter of chance, here are a few general tips that some people believe can potentially improve your odds or help you make the most of a win: 1. Play regularly: The more lottery tickets you buy, the higher your chances of winning. However, remember to play responsibly and within your budget. 2. Join a lottery pool: Joining a group or creating a lottery pool with friends, family, or colleagues can increase your purchasing power and give you more chances to win. If any tickets in the pool win, the prize is divided among the participants. 3. Choose less popular games or numbers: Opting for less popular lottery games or numbers that are not frequently selected may slightly increase your chances of not having to share the jackpot if you win. 4. Use random number generators: Rather than picking numbers based on personal significance, using random number generators or quick picks can help ensure a more unbiased selection. 5. Stick to a budget: Set a budget for lo...

When playing scratch offs, try to find the newest games, these will give you a better chances of winning bigger jackpots since there will be more available. Also, there are games that have second chance drawings. Make sure if you play them, and you don’t win, enter the second chance drawings. Since I am in Texas, I use the Texas Lottery app. From there just create an account, sign in and you can scan in non winning tickets and enter into the drawings. This app is great to scan in tickets to see if you have won. I always use it to scan my tickets. I have had instances when I thought I didn’t win and when I sca...

Lately, been winning on the 20x, Golden ticket and the $5 Break the Bank. Hit $10 on the 20x and Golden Ticket. Today, I won $100 on the $5 Break The Bank, see picture.

December 24, 2017

First off want to wish everyone a Merry Chrstmas and a Happy New Year. About a month ago, I hit the biggest win on a scratch off for me. I won $500 on Golden Ticket. This ticket as of this writing, is fairly new and people have been winning. So, keep an eye out on newer tickets for a better chance of winning. Good luck.

Update September 8, 2016

This is post is about the new scratchoff game Cowboys #1776. This game just came out on August 1, 2016. I have played this game 4 times now and everytime that I have played I have won. 1st - won $5 2nd - won $20 3rd - won $5 4th - won $10. I went to the lottery website to see how many prizes are left. I noticed that 1 player has hit the top prize of  $100,000 and 9 winners of $5,000. This game just came out and people are hitting on this one. This is one of those games that comes out once in a while that is paying out. Even if you don't win, you have a 2nd chance drawing to win prizes. Take my word for it, they do pick winners. Earlier this year I was playing the Texas Rangers scratchoff game. I entered my non winning tickets on the lottery website for a 2nd chance drawing. When the winners were posted, I went online and looked at the winners list, and my name was on it. It took me about 8 weeks to get my prizes. Won a shirt, hat, clock, neon light, lunch cooler, blanket, ...

Update 5/26/16

Here lately, I have been lucky and winning on some scratch offs. I have been winning with Triple 7s ($5 ticket). I usually play the $2, $3 and $5 tickets. I rarely play $10 tickets. In the last week and a half, I have played the $10 Ticket Cash Craze and have won all three times. A few days ago I won $20. Yesterday I won $100. And today I won another $20. Several days ago, I won $50 and $20 on the $5 ticket Triple 7. These are new tickets that are paying out.

Update 6/27/15

Played Mega Million lottery. Hit the bonus plus one number for winnings of $10. Megaplied number was 5. Plaing Powerball. I use set of powerball bonus numbers with quick picks for the rest. Hoping my number 3 comes out again.

Update 5-8-15

An update on what is hot right now. Been play the following $5 scratch offs with good success: Money Multipier - Won $50 today on this ticket. Golden Ticket - Won $10 today, $50 a week ago $100,000 Extreme Green - $20 winner a week ago Like I have done before, I tend to play the odds posted on the back of the ticket and have had luck with these tickets. Money Multiplier - odds - 1:4.09. What I have been doing is this. I play the multiple, i.e. 4 goes into 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. Well, instead of playing those numbers, I play 1 number up. Doesn't work all the time, but have had luck with that. Today, I won on #22 so the rule for this one seems to be 2 up. Golden Ticket - odds - 1:3.70. This ticket I have used the rule of going 1 number up of the multiple and it has paid off. I have hit on #25 (1 up from 24) today for $10. When I won $50, I believe it was on 13 - 1 up from 12 (multiple of 3). Extreme Green - odds - 1:3.62 Same rules apply for this ticket. Now the reason I have h...

Update 4/15/15

I haven't posted in a while since I gave up playing the lottery during lent. But now that lent is over, I decided to play again. Some new scratch off tickets have been on the market and I have been playing them with some luck. A few days into playing again, I played the $5.00 ticket - Golden Ticket and I won $50.00 I have also been playing the $5.00 ticket - $100,000 Extreme Green. I have won $20 on that one just the other day. I won another $15 today on the Golden Ticket too. These two games have been paying out, so I suggest you play these before all of the major prizes are gone. Yesterday, I went to a convenient store to buy my lunch which they had on special. I have bought tickets there before with no luck at all. When I pulled up to the store, I noticed they had a sign that said "We sold a winning ticket". I asked the clerk what did they sell and she replied $250. I thought, $250 that isn't much for a sign, but then she showed me a picture of the ticket she...

Update 2-9-2015

As of this posting, the Powerball is up to an estimated: $450 million. Seems like more and more people are playing and wanting some kind of strategy to win. Here is my input on that: There are 35 bonus balls in the Powerball lottery. One thing you can do, if you want to spend the money doing it, is select the numbers 1-35 (or 35 tickets). Each ticket play each powerball number, that way, you are guaranteed to win something. Now since it costs $2 that would be $70 invested for a guaranteed chance to win something. If you decide to use the Powerplay, you would be spending $3.00 per ticket x 35 = $105 which can multiply your non winning jackpot by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. Is it worth it? If you have the money to spend, maybe. Without the powerplay you would be guaranteed to win a minimum of $1. With the powerplay you are guaranteed to win a minimum of $2. Now that is the lowest guaranteed winnings you would get. It is a gamble to spend $70 just to win a guaranteed $1 or spend $105 to win a...

Update 11/14/14

Back on 11/4/14, I had played the Mega Millions when the jackpot was 321 Million. I had mention that because the Mega Millions has 15 bonus balls, that I would play all 15, i.e. 1-15 and have them megaplied. So, I spent $30. I was guaranteed to hit the bonus ball and win something, which I did. I hit the bonus ball of 1 + 1 number and I won $8.00. Ok, so I am in the hole $22, but I gambled and did not recover what I put in. This is the only time I have done this. I may do it again in the future if the jackpot is large like this one. It is worth a try, you never know.

Update for 11/4/14

Well, tonite's jackpot for the MegaMillion is a whopping 321 Million. I may try my strategy of playing 15 quickpicks on the bonus ball + megaplied. I am guaranteed to win something because I should hit the bonus ball. Hope it works. Like to hear from readers to see what they have done. Good Luck.

Update 10/20/14

Just a small note. I have been playing the scratch off ticket - $100,000 Merry Money #1653. I noticed that the odds of winning are 1 in 3.33. Here lately, I have been winning on number 12 ticket. I have hit $20, $10 and $5 the last few days on multiples of 3, i.e., 9, 12, 15, etc. Mainly it has been on 12. Just a note and try it if you get any mutliples of 3 on this ticket. Can't guarantee you will win, but just going by my experience. Never hurts to try. Good Luck.

Update 10/8/14

So I haven't posted in a while, just because I have been busy at work. Thought I would like to start by saying, thank you to those of you out there who take the time to read my posts. Here lately, within the last month or so, I have been buying the $10.00 ticket $200,000,000 Game No. 1644. I have had some luck with that game. I have won $30.00 twice. Hit $30.00 today in fact. Have hit $10 a couple of times as well. I don't buy it much, because of it being $10.00. I usually play the $1, $2, and $5 scratchoffs. I like the $3.00 scratch off games, but don't like the ones out currently. Again, thanks for readying and good luck.

Update 7/8/2014

So, here lately, I have been in a financial funk. Things just not going my way. I was down to my last few dollars. Had a $10 bill and bought something to eat, got $5.00 in change back and, just my luck, lost the $5.00. So this morning, my wife gave me $5.00 for my lunch. I had in my truck a $10.00 winning scratch off that I was holding just in case I need some money. So, I bought my lunch at a convenient store and bought 2 $2.00 and 1 $1.00 tickets, but did not win anything. I had used up my $10.00 winning on that and lunch. I still had the $5.00 that my wife gave me this morning, plus a few $1.00 bills. I went to a 7-11 and bought a drink and a $5.00 (20X The Cash) ticket and a $2.00 (Sizzlin' Cash) ticket. Won $10 on the 20x ticket and did not win on the other one. Looking at the number in the bottom right hand corner of the ticket (sizzlin' cash) it said 56. I looked at the odds of the ticket and it say 1 in 4.44 so I thought, 4 goes into 56 evenly, and I did not win, so...

Update 4-20-14

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. I haven't posted anything in a while, because, I had given up playing the lottery during this Lent Season. Now that it is over, I will start playing again. One thing that helps, not playing the lottery, is that I did not spend alot of money and thus helped me save for other things. I hope to keep to a strict budge playing the lottery. I will start playing mainly the Texas Two Step as it is one of my favorite games to play. I will also play the Texas Lotto with the extra. The Power Ball is getting up there, so I may keep an eye on that one too. I may play some scratch off tickets. I haven't kept up with it these last 6 weeks or so, so I will have to look at what new games are out there and which ones are winding down. Hope to keep this post up. Good luck and thanks for reading.

Update 3-18-14

Just a small posting and update. I haven't posted anything in a while but thought I would since the jackpot for the Mega Million is around $400 million. If you have read my previous post, now is a good time to try some of the techniques that I recommend. It doesn't hurt to try. Good Luck and hope to post more information soon.
