$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
Hi, Something definitely seems wrong there, CarHauler. Is there a way to see what a number of others have experienced in the game? If so, and their results are the same, I wouldn't rule out a lawsuit over false advertising.

$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
Yes, I am REALLY, REALLY unhappy about this game, and its false advertising. This after carefully examining my records. I will be contacting the GA Lottery Commission, and depending on the outcome, I may stir up a hornet's nest, well beyond what I have written here. I have tallied this game up, and this month I have spent $170 on Jingle Jumbo Bucks, and have only won $50 back, for a net loss of $120. I know what you are thinking: That's just how the lotto is. But wait a minute, even with the exp

Correct, this is indisputable evidence of them trying to generate more revenue from sales. They think lottery players are profoundly stupid, and they ignore the few who actually notice and make noise toward these types of things. Heck, someone could make a lawsuit I'm sure using evidence from the ILR showing 2 $1M prizes remaining, showcasing through a website archive that they correctly updated the page to show two $1M prizes remaining. They then later changed it back to four $1M prizes

Unclaimed Jackpot Prizes
You have 3 possibilities of what happened and 2 are very shady: The ticket was thrown away. The lottery closed the game because they are allowed if all tickets have been sent out. The lotteries are using shady practices and in this case see below: This is something that the lotteries should be sued upon, because it's a loophole that can allow a lottery to legally destroy jackpot tickets. This is something I had to do a lot of research to figure out how exactly all the top prizes wer

The secret to winning lottery with Scratch off'sReply
I think if more people knew the truth they would not play. I play, because I'm addicted to trying to find that big ticket . I actually have a lawsuit that I can file against them at any time with a high probability of winning. It comes down to how tickets are disposed of and not reduced from the remaining top prizes on the site. Let's just say if I explain it you will likely be outraged and will likely have an answer to why some top prizes are never claimed other than the fact they could of been

Nothing wrong with trying to improve the system for consumers, but just know what you are getting yourself into. The way things are now is pretty industry standard and as a result any lawsuit/injunction would fall on deaf ears There is nothing legally wrong about what they are doing; after all, grocery stores pull product all the time even if it is still advertised on sale Ethically wrong, maybe? But that wouldn't prove anything and you will likely walk away a little poorer thanks to la

Winning TicketsReply
I can't speak for any one else in my state or other states but judging by what I see in my state there doesn't appear to be a rhyme or reason to where winning tickets are and where they are shipped to. Plus, for instance, I wouldn't expect my lottery jurisdiction (South Carolina Education Lottery) to give details as to where winning jackpot tickets would be as that would create a mad rush in that city for people trying to buy tickets I would presume. The SCEL however does release information

Virginia Lottery Scratch Offs appear to be huge scamReply
You didn't specify but I know those 22 tickets were not in a row, because in VA there are only 20 tickets on $20 rolls. Reguardless you just caught a string of loosers. It happens and that's why it's called gambling. The overall odds are 1 in 2.71, but that does in no way mean you are going to win by buying 3 or more tickets. You may go to one store and buy 4 tickets back-to-back and loose on every one. Then you may go to another store and buy 4 more tickets back-to-back and 3 or 4 of them yeild

So, I will write a book one day about the corruption around the individual state level tickets and accounting practices, but yes this is a remaining loophole in a lot of state lotteries. The tickets are not deactivated out of the system out of the excuse they are left activated at a book level to ensure people who bought the original tickets have a chance to cash them in. The simple solution for them would be to scratch them and scan them out to ensure prizes were de-listed, however this can lea
