  It's called The Numbers Game in Massachusetts btw for people wondering. But anyway I given up on Scratch tickets since it's predetermined and bad odds. I have been winning picking my own numbers on The Numbers and Keno in these past two weeks compared to losing on scratchers these past few months

  I play only numbers games like the Pick-3 (which I call the "3-ball") and the Pick-4 (which I call the "4-ball"), and then only in states that use mechanical ball machines. I never play in my home state of California, which uses random number generators--only when I go home to visit my parents in Virginia, which is a ball state. 

  I don't play jackpot games because of the lower-tier prize payouts. In most states, the 3-ball and 4-ball is a 50/50 prize payout.

  Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.

  In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!

  I never played pick 3 as over the years I had my full payback with jackpot games.

  I don't play scratch cards.

  The lotto game was ruined with higher cost price, lower payouts and lower chances, behalf for the 1+1.
  Generally, you have to win 4+1 to catch up with your costs now. That is not so easy with 45 balls.
  So, I thought that after all, I just play few lines, eventually later stop playing as pick 3 isn't attractive. I'd rather go play roulette for one night.
