  I successfully cut way back on the tickets I buy.
  
  I didn't maintain the best of discipline on what jackpot levels I would start buying  in at though.
  
  I did stick to not buying expensive tickets (over $10) unless I won a decent amount first.

  I better put this in my signature before the ministry of disinformation bans it!  I'd tweet it but I have never had a twitter or facebook account (and never will)

  IMHO, buying due to JP amount means you already lost.

  You have given over to emotion, the emotion of greed and the fear of loss.

  I too struggle with that still.

  For example, when the JP raises to 150k, I feel like I have to buy more line.

  But your buying should be based on the patterns of the numbers with most probabilistic outcome IMO.

  The chart points are real, but obscure.

  Budget and Dont give up.

  Quitters never win, and winners never quit.

  A lucky 2022 to you!!
