I have not played the match 6 in a looooong time. So I figured I would go to my analysis sheets and give it a shot, as the jackpot is now worth my time. I had a another frustrating 3 of 6 on one line, and almost 4 of 6 and 7 of 18 for about $45.00. (Flip that 43 around, and add one digit to the 37's) Add oe to the 8 and minus one from the 16, would have been 9 of 18, $1,000!) If only if only....
I would have been happy with that, but I guess I will just have to accept the $4.00. I used my system, and actually meditated on that line only all day, and all night. I played 2 other plays using my system, but they were pretty cold. I did match 4 of 18 however.
Regardless of what I play, I can say that I am winning a lot more often now than when I did just playing random numbers and QPs. So who knows, maybe there is hope for systems. I hope all this teasing and suffering is one day justified VERY soon after all these jackpot scares. I love the feeling when the heart starts beating rapidly, but I hate it when it goes back to normal after the 3rd or 4th numbers. I wanna have that feeling where everything matches, and I have to check my eyes about hundred times, along with the ticket in disbelief.
I am so close to that feeling....I can just feel it. I am glad to see that my norrowing down of numbers, and decreasing my odds by literally millions actually worked some. A couple warm numbers is what stole my jackpot this time.

To make matters even worse.
2 players matched 6 of 6, each receiving $1,004,684.00
40 players matched 5 of 6, each receiving $1,000.00
1,602 players matched 4 of 6, each receiving $20.00
31,595 players matched 3 of 6, each receiving $2.00
0 players matched 10+ of 18 each receiving $2,500.00
10 players matched 9 of 18, each receiving $1,000.00
116 players matched 8 of 18, each receiving $50.00
968 players matched 7 of 18, each receiving $25.00
5,571 players matched 6 of 18, each receiving $10.00
22,724 players matched 5 of 18, each receiving $5.00
65,803 players matched 4 of 18, each receiving $2.00
There's nothing I hate more than a jackpot win. But hey, 2 winners, this game must be popular, so we'll probably have many more chances to win it over the next few years.

you matched 4 of 18 numbers drawn? they actually pay out for that? no wonder it's popular! that looks like a great game to play.
for all of us who have ever had 'the winning lottery numbers'.... spread across 5 lines of play, this is the game for us :)

Sirbrad- you may be onto something since you called those numbers and were able to hit.
Those numbers were a sweet combination, easier to play then the consecutives and high numbers they been grouping up lately. This whole month for PA has been filled with peculiar combinations. Doubles are hitting like crazy for Pick 3 and Pick 4. Match 5 has been rolling to half a mill before it hits. I really find this month to be messing with the system I use. I seriously can see you typing one of these drawings letting us know you slammed the ball out of the ball park! Are you still playing LFL? I recently started toss'n 6 bucks at the game and n'er a single hit. Come Tuesday I may just get in on that raffle too! I just hope they have it available in my area.

Yes you are right, I have seen the same consistencies for those drawings. I like to play all 3 Jackpot games, but if I could play all the numbers I wanted to, and use all my initial strategies, that would become quite costly, and be very risky. Especially when LFL and Match 6 are $2.00 per game. Yes I do still play LFL, I posted in the jackpot forums I think about my lucky event that led up to me being an instant $10 winner.
I have had far more Jackpot opportunities with LFL, and have matched 4 of 6 at least four times. I have missed the remaining two digits by only one, and two numbers/digits. Being I am on a limited lottery budget, I cannot spend a whole lot on multiple tries. So I spread "smart plays" out over all the games. As of right now I am actually getting paid back more on all three jackpot games than I am putting in. That has not happened in a long time.
So basically they are paying for themselves, and simply giving me more tries at the jackpots. I hope the streak gets hotter, and does not go cold. I only play match 6 when the Jackpot gets around $2 million, as I did yesterday. So not bad for a first time play in months, and last minute analysis. I also hope to be able to post about "hitting the ball out of the park" sometime soon! I can see it happening as well, and it will happen! Stay tuned, and look for a thread that says something like "Going going...gone!"
I use all my own systems, and do pen and paper by hand. I also use various tips that can be found on the net occasionally, and mix them in with my strategies. I work long hard hours on my pen and paper analysis, so I hope it reaps large rewards soon!

I like the game, although I use QP. I hit huge several times in a row, then went cold. Still ahead, but only because I can't play often. Too far to travel.

they only draw 6. your play field is 3 lines of 6 numbers, of which you only get to pick the first one. the second and third line are forced QP, like the old stupid6... only this time they charge $2 per ticket.
expensive game with a low starting JP and forced QP's. I had 7 on one ticket once, payed out peanuts so I quit the game having won more than I spent ;-)
If they started that at 2 or 3 million, I might try it again, but for $2 a ticket they need more digits in that top prize

I hate the forced QPs. Without them I would have won huge many times. They do that so that they can cut back on the numbers out of 18 won. Because very rarely do any numbers even match for the two QPs to even give you a shot. The most I got so far was 8 of 18, but that only happened once, and is even almost impossible. You have to have two QPs match almost all numbers, and yours in order to have a good pay off. Something like:
Winning numbers: 9, 12, 21, 34, 39 42
3 9 12 33 38 42 $2.00
9 12 34 35 40 42 $20.00
12 22 34 36 42 48 $2.00
10 of 18 $2,500
Total: $2,524
I have mactched 4 of 6 many times also.
That is the problem though, QPs rarely match each other, and your numbers. Usually neither!

Well the repeat number 20 threw a wrench into most of my lines tonight. That one hurt. But it works 50% of the time. What also hurt was that ALLcold and hot numbers combined to make the winning combination, which has only happened twice in 22 draws. Major burn this draw. I hope the other side of the coin shows it's face Weds.

I was speaking of the powerball by the way. Heck I get far better results with one match 6 play every few weeks than powerball ever week! Soon I am going to have to concentrate on just one better odds jackpot. Probably lucky for life. But powerball gets to be so addicting. All jackpots would do me well, but the powerball truly is life altering. I would prefer that, but I will take any for now.
