What is your strategy for playing the lottery?

Patti Cox

"My husband played the same numbers in the Pick 3 for over three years. He played 514. He decided to quit playing and two weeks later 514 hit."

Deborah Cox

"If I get a raunchy dollar, I use that dollar to play. I play birthdays of people in my family. The most I've ever won is $250 from scratch-off cards."

David Fulghum

"There ain't no strategy to playing the lottery that works. A lot of us at work (Bridgestone) play together. One person goes out and gets the tickets and passes them out each week."

Blanche Ludwig and Tom Foundas

"We don't play the lottery. ... Maybe we should."

Dolores Byrd

"I used ages and birthdates when I play. I don't have a certain time that I play. I've won $3,900 in the Georgia lottery in the past. I used to play in Georgia before they had it in South Carolina. That time someone told me to play the Pick 4 so I did."

Bobby Creech

"I don't play the lottery that often, but every now and then I spend $5 on scratch-offs. I lose more than I win."

Janice Taylor

"I don't play every week - only when I have a feeling. When I get the feeling, sometimes I buy a scratch-off and win $50. I leave it all to that old feeling. My friends that play every week say if you are consistent with your numbers and strategy, you will win."
