you fucking assholes.

played the same pick4 number for the past 6-7 years; mid-day and evening draws. never missed 1 draw. the result? a terrible 2 boxes and no straights over the past 6-7 years. lame fucking number, i guess.

last week, decided to save $40 from a draw and only play 1 draw a day, the mid-day.

you guessed it. it came in last night when i didn't play it and $131,000 stays with them.

either you guys are the fucking assholes or i was born an asshole.

morale of the story? you can't win if you don't play but, if you do play, you don't win.

Imagine posting this.

i guess there's a certain amount of time that's acceptable for your number to come in after you stop playing it. maybe 4 months?

this number came in - and i had played it for the mid-day.

I’m a degenerate gambler but I truly don’t understand lottery players

Its the entire 1980's lotto campaign playing out in real life..

I want to make sure I'm understanding this right.

You've played two times a day, every day, for the past 6-7 years.

That's $8 per day for seven years, or $20,440.

You'd have been better off giving that money to me. I would have had the courtesy to give you back at least $20 over that time.

you reminded me of something.

There was a story on wgn tv back in the day about a guy who won the lotto twice! Like 2 weeks in a row. The big lottery too, millions of dollars.

they showcased the guy but it had to be some kind of fraud going on.

When I was a kid they used to have the drawings on the evening news. One day I gave my dad a dollar and 3 numbers and asked him to buy me a ticket. He shrugged his shoulders and said he would. I guess he figured it would be a good lesson on how not to waste your money on the lottery. I had my ticket and settled in for the drawing. Sure enough my 3 numbers hit. My parents were in the kitchen when I started screaming that I'd won. It was pick 3 boxed so it didn't pay much, but seemed like all the money in the world to me at the time. I've never played again.

i like the bingo scratch offs

no, much more than that. in regards to that specific number that came in - i probably lost $35k-$40k over those years. the past 8 months or so i was playing $10 straight ($50k winner) and $30 straight box ($81k winner for a straight) for each draw for that specific number that came in last night.

what kept me going with the pick 4 were the 4 other straights with other numbers i had gotten in the same 6-7 years. one straight was only a $1 straight, or $5k. the 3 other straights were $48,000 each.

if that number came up 4 months from now and i stopped playing it today, i'd probably just shrug it off. hard to get my head around the whole circumstance.

Is this another HY mult?

good story...and that's the only reason i play, to box.

when i went 2 years with no box with that number, i started playing it heavy about 8 months ago, straight and the box. loser number, started thinking about stopping playing it last week. a few days i only bought mid-day. yesterday, i only bought mid-day for it. it came straight with the evening draw.

I was waiting for you to say your dad pocketed the dollar and then started cursing when he had to shell out the money out of his own pocket.
