People winning on a dollar play, People winning on line play. What am I doing wrong? I play LFL,for 5 draws with my special numbers, I play cash5, 5 day draw with my special numbers. Guess I need to stop playing them, and buy quick picks everyday then.

Congratulations on your big win! One dollar and a dream come true! Maybe I'm spending to much money on these game's. A dollar a day, might be the way I should go!
