Yep $30.00 for a single ticket isn't going to go over to well. I'd rather take that $30.00 and play the mega-million $5.00 twice a week and take my chances. I 100% agree! Does anyone know if there are 2nd and 3rd prizes and what they are? "If you just keep believing, that dream that you wish will come true"

but that payout is quite tempting to me.... waiting patiently for my jackpot

Has anyone bought one? What are the other prizes? Are there 30 chances to win on this $30 ticket? Guess I should go into a store near me and see, huh? 
My hubby will buy one! He isn't afraid to take chances on the scratch-offs. I would rather put my $30 in the slot machine; the penny ones! One pull of the penny machine brought me $216.00 last Monday! Woo Hoo!! LOL
player345 I have no desire to put 30.00 down on one ticket ...in new york no one ever gets $$$$ 500,000 from the pick 10 ;
so the thought of getting a million a year in a state that will take your winngs from you at any given moment through legal proceedings I think not .... the scratch offs are 75%% loosers per game ......

Today, I went to my favorite candy/lotto store. I noticed the store clerk unrolling a new pack of the new $30 Scratch offs. I asked him for one and I won $500. The ticket number was #50. Got 8 coins adding up to $500. I noticed in all the stores I go to, they give you tickets starting from the last ticket number. Have anyone experienced this too. Going shopping today. Seeya!

Yesterday, the lady in front of me won $500 on a ticket. She had a couple of $50 pairs and the rest were $100 pairs adding up to $500. The store clerk hung it up immediately showing the winning amount so that people would be influenced to buy it. The ticket number was #30. What's funny is that every time I went to the store, I would look at the game and see that it always had 30 tickets there and kept wondering when somebody would buy one.
The lady was VERY nice and paid for my numbers and for the other person's numbers that was in the store at the time.

I would agree, It is foolish to buy a ticket with a big winner on the same roll. I would not buy too.
