Yes, I did play 14 three times in my 10 lines. My 2 favorite numbers were 12 and 14, but I decided to use 16 also and then used 2 for the last ticket. I was disappointed that I did not get at least one WB right which would have increased my winnings a little more by hitting with #14. Odds would say that for every 9.6 WB one should get at least 1 number right and I couldn't do that with 11 WB. Do you use any wheeling system for your plays? How many lines do you play?
Congrats on hitting it 3 times at least! It definitely would have been nice to get a white ball or two along with it. Yes, I do use wheels. The lines really depend on how many numbers I play in my wheel. The game is kind of expensive at $2 a line, so I tend to hold back a bit on Lucky for Life. Tonight, I am going with a tighter wheel and playing 9 lines.

Glad to hear that you are using wheels and your choice for tonight looks like it is my favorite wheel that guarantees a 4/4 if 4 numbers guessed and has about a 40% chance of getting a 5/5 if 5 numbers guessed. If that happened and one did not get the 5/5, then the wheel guarantees 5 - 4/4 which with the LB would be worth $25,000. 3 numbers guessed gets a minimum 2 - 3/3 prizes plus 6 - 2/2. One doesn't have to get too much right to recover most of the money spent with that wheel.
I didn't have much time to work with it tonight, so I am using a 9 number wheel with 5 lines that is a 3/4 to get one 3/3. If only 2 numbers, then only 2 -2/2. I am playing 3 LB, 2 of them twice each, so to get anything at all out of this system, I need to hit one of those. These are what I'm playing, looking for low numbers both ways.

Trying these 8 numbers tonight in a 3/3 system with 3 LBs
WB: 06 15 23 24 26 38 40 47 LB: 01 02 05
Still can't get WBs and LBs together. Tonight's draw: 08 12 35 36 45 + 02
I had the 08 and 36 in Friday's picks, but didn't keep them tonight, so I got the 02 twice tonight only, winning just half of my cost back. They continue to favor even numbers.

Nice job on getting the lucky ball. I ended up getting two numbers on two of my lines and ended up getting $6.

Good job, lottobrain, with picking 3 balls with your number line. I did not see those numbers coming. Yep, you're right, they seem to be sticking with the even numbers over a longer than expected period of time.

Nice job, lottobrain! I know you've been waiting a long time to get a hit. I ended up getting 3 numbers as well but only caught 3 2of5's due to the wheel I used.

Yes ThatScaryChick, I see you have 3 numbers also! I used that wheel recently too when I couldn't decide what to drop. It requires getting 4 numbers right to do well and I couldn't do it. But I will probably try it again. I like to stay with at least a 3 of 3 if I can, but last night I couldn't get below 9 numbers, so it cost $24. Luckily, I got there with a little profit. Now what usually happens when I play the next time after winning, I fail badly. So tonight I am going to skip and take the profit to the movies!
