That's what, 2.5% draw odds. Better than the Powerball!

True, but who wins Powerball? I'm lucky to get one number right when I try. If I don't have at least 90% odds in a hunting draw I never get the tag. Being lucky is not one of my strong points.

Why do I catch myself checking KY website at least 3 times a day for the elk draw results? I know that getting drawn is almost impossible. I wish they would post up some results soon Yeah, I'm doing the same thing...even though the odds of getting drawn for a 3rd time seem a little unlikely

I don't buy many lottery tickets, but the wife and I might buy one every other year or so for jokes more than anything. Though the number of chances I've had is small as a result, I've yet to ever have a ticket with even ONE of the many numbers matching!
I did get drawn for elk in WY last year with 75% odds. This year I was the only one out of four of us that applied who did NOT get drawn, though. I'm tremendously blessed, but "luck" isn't a frequent companion of mine.

This is true, but I can't help but feel I've burned up a bunch of my luck lol.

No dice. Again. I really, really wish they'd do a point system or at least a weighted draw.

Nothing for me again either. I'm zero for every year there has been a lottery!
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I complain about the Colorado draw. I feel bad for you guys. I'm not sure i'd even try if I lived there. It's like trying to get a moose tag here. I don't even try.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Finally woke up and checked... Zip. Nada. Same as the last 10 to 12 years. Only this year I donated $40 instead of the usual $20...
