  Last night for example I always now play my own numbers and not the quick picks except for that one tues I accidentally forgot to check that box.

   

  Last night I had 61 in two differnet lines.  I did get the 2. 

   

  Another draw I had 3 numbers but 1 line at a time.

   

  Has it ever happened to anyone and were you like darn I could have had it. Not asking how much anyone spent.

  I think you have to experiment with the different types of WHEELS, and figure out which one works the best to give you a winning result in back testing >>> balanced, abbreviated, skewed, win guarantee [ 3 if 3, 4 if 5, 3 if 5, etc.] ???

  In back testing, take a group of 15 numbers, and insert at least 3 or 4 of the winning numbers.  Then test different WHEEL configurations to see which one would give you all 3 or 4 numbers on the same line in the WHEEL combinations.

  I understand what you're saying about wheels however I am not really into that.  When I do my worksheets and workouts I then think okay lets try it this way or that way.

  hi wander73,

  Yes, it is hard seeing you had 5 or 6 numbers but in different lines...and even worse if you had not trapped at least 2 bonus numbers plus 1 correct from a pool of x numbers you are playing.

  That's happened to me maybe a dozen times in my life, and as recently as this past Saturday. I did it on just 2 lines of Massachusetts Megabucks Doubler. I have a subscription for 5 lines of this 6/49 game. I got a 4 of 6 on one line for a $100 winner and a 2 of 6 on another for nothing. Had they been on the same line it would have been a life changing $10.5 million JP win!

  A better question would be: Has anyone not had a ticket with the 5 winning numbers on different lines?
