Happy Thanksgiving

Let's all remember to play the lottery responsibly and to be thankful for all that we have. I hope you view the lottery as entertainment and not as an investment. It's good to win, but it shouldn't hurt you or your family if you lose. So, as the Ga. Lottery says, play responsibly.

"001" Makes a Spectacle of Itself

November just started and 001 has already hit twice! I wonder how many winners there were the second time as compared to the first time. You can find out at the Ga. Lottery website, www.galottery.com.
For a number that had hit only 8 times in 9651 draws, 001 has made a spectacle of itself by hitting Sunday at mid day and again just a few minutes ago on Monday evening. 001 has now hit a total of 10 times in the history of the Ga. Lottery Cash 3.

Ga Cash 3 10-28

Mid Day 081
Evening 628
Did you know that if you had played "000" from the initial start of the GA Cash 3 Lottery, that you would have had to play it 2340 times before it hit? That's right, it hit on 02-05-1999 for the first time, and has hit 12 times since. That's 12 times in over 9600 draws. How 'bout them odds? You wouldn't have been much better off playing 108 and 645, the two most frequent "straight" numbers. They have each hit only 20 times.

Next time: What number has paid the most money on a single hit?
Hint: "000" paid over $6 million
