Hey Dracos, been going alright here and hope the same there with you. Hard to believe I've now been teleworking 100% for a year...and to think they thought it would last only 3 or 4 months when it started. Oh well, at least lol I've been able to play a little more here and there with the savings in gas from no commuting. Indeed looks like the old $20 LFL is for real ending, and yeah I saw the 3 $1M prizes left as well, at least all the top prizes have been claimed. How about the $30 GRSE...al

At least two of the $20 LFL $1M prizes should be in circulation. Who knows if they'll ever be found, the top prizes for that game could easily be at a district office where no one is purchasing them or in the warehouse. That game is approaching the end of it's life, in 2019. I wonder if we'll see the final top prize found. The $20 Gold Rush (1249) still had 5 $100k prizes unclaimed, and that game has become quite difficult to find. I'd recommend driving to Fort Myers if you want to have

Gratz on the 24 Karat! Just curious, why are you focusing on this game when it is around 33% sold through with 2/4 jackpots claimed? The 3rd jackpot shouldn't pop up for a while. I recycled some of my wins, and got $80/$190 so about 40% back. These $5 tickets suck. I'm thinking about playing some of the $5 Full of Sh1t game, which is becoming harder to find and there's still one unclaimed $250k top prize out there. Anyone playing that game?

The fact that they're allowing returned open books to be sent back for a credit and not tracking the prizes is a huge disservice to all the players, and the most dishonest practice. Simply making an informal note on a sticky note of the book number or however they currently normally tack this (if at all, the lotto reps I've talked to basically told me it is a waste of time chasing old games like Super Millions). Retailers, like AK Kwik have advocated for rectifying this problem by taking in thes

All conspiracy theories aside, they shouldn't have a financial incentive for ensuring there are unclaimed jackpots/big prizes. Even if every prize on a game is claimed, they are still generating at least 30-40% profit. It can't just be coincidence that these jackpot books are picked up when only a very small percentage of tickets are likely returned for a partial credit, how do games like $5 Power 8s and $5 Cash Fall end with 2 jackpots remaining? I don't even want to go into other games, like 2

Hey TikiMan, The ILR is accurate and shows exactly how many prizes are still unclaimed, not remaining. Huge difference in that wording. The lottery cannot and will not provide any information regarding how many prizes actually still exist on a game.....I have tried that route before and its a dead end. Since the lottery still destroys partially sold books and damaged tickets without updating the remaining prize list and ILR you just have to go with your gut. Sucks, but that is the story. In

I agree the chase can be worth it but when the game ends and all those top prizes remain unclaimed the pain sets in, the anger sets in and I no longer trust our lovely lottery data when a game is near the end and top prizes remain...they may already have been destroyed and never there to begin with. Remember its not just the old 100X that ended with many, many top prizes remaining, Game #1228 Super Millions ended with a $3M prize never claimed and enough 20k, 10k, 5k and 1k prizes remaini

That's interesting they posted this a week early. Usually the FLRules filing pops up the end of the week prior to the game's release. Those odds on the 15MM prize are much better than I'd have expected.. still crap - but that's sort of how lotto works - but way better than I'd have guessed. So I did the math out of curiosity. If my math is right, there's $793,320,000 in prizes on $972,000,000 worth of tickets. (Though I came up with 793MM it might be 743MM. The ticket says over 743 mi

Small hit for me with the Hit 600. I don't think a lot of people buy it because the top prize is only $600 and it costs $10. 6885 unclaimed for $600 4118 unclaimed for $200

@ zzplay - That's a good point about the changing of store ownerships. That's a significant number of books being destroyed. They need to at least inventory and account for these prizes, especially when jackpots go unclaimed. They're so swift to point toward possible human errors such as people tossing away winning tickets. @ Ronnie - I'd say it is the most promising. I have a state list of 2MJ that might be 3-4 weeks old. If my memory serves me correctly, it is around 200 books across
