Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Something is WAY off with this chart....and i mean waaaaayyyyy off, lol. A scratch off costing $30 each better not have odds of 171.43:1 and 240:1 to hit a $100 winner??? There has to be a $100 winner in each pack of 30 tickets or this looks to be the worst $900 investment for a full book of 30 tickets in the history of the florida lottery which is really saying something. Also, looking at the $50 win odds something is goofy there and cannot be accurate. 150:1 odds of hitting $50 on a $30 scratc

Florida's Billion Dollar BlockbusterReply
Actually, the odds for Billion Dollar Blockbuster weren't good at all. Sure, the odds at a million were the best chance at hitting money like that, but the odds at the lower-tiered prize levels were awful. That's what is so deceptive and despicable about this whole situation--the only benefit for BDB was that you had a better chance at hitting a million dollars. Otherwise, odds at breaking even, winning twenty-five, thirty, and fifty dollars were the worst odds for any $20 game. The odds at hitt

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Thanks for the congratulations, everybody!!! I don't have another good one to share, but playing with house money has been fun! Ed, the $500 I got was honestly just the second one out.... got that 25 burst on Millionaire, then got a losing Jubilee--next Jubilee was the winner. So far I've hit another hundred on millionaire but that didn't last long. Trying to slow play these winnings but you know how that goes! Ha! James, I don't think the new holiday ten dollar game is that bad. I've ha

Playing Holiday instant tickets.Reply
About the odds, I've noticed the odds climbing up for GA's scratchers as well. A couple of years ago, we would get new instant games with odds for $2 in the 3.6 or low 3.7-range and $5 in the 3.3 to 3.5-range and $10 tickets with odds lower than 3. Jingle Jumbo Bucks is the first new $10 game in a long time to have odds lower than 3. Recent $2 tickets (except for Stocking Stuffer, with overall odds of 3.76) have been near 4 if not over that (Loteria, despite me having decent luck on them, has th

Odds of WinningReply
I've been rethinking today how I spend the money in my lottery budget, and I took a look at scratchers for the first time. My initial impression was that the odds of getting something back were favorable -- better than the Lotto games. After reading some of the posts here, I went back and took a closer look. I still think scratchers offer better odds of improving your stake. I went to the New York lottery page and took a look at their scratcher game called One-Eyed Jack. The best odds for an i

Biggest letdown in lottery history - what's yours?Reply
Here comes a free book. Enjoy. We go on vacationing Florida when we can. We like Destin, but the 30A area is just about our favorite mainland destination. We are most likely to go 75 south to Cordele, GA, then we usually end up on the Georgia Florida Parkway and 300. Also HWY 98 and 30A. If we go to Destin, we usually go down75 South to 85 to 185 to 231 and 331, west on I-10, a little bit of HWY 20 then finally across the toll bridge to 98, but our favorite destination is a small sparsely pop

Any luck in PA (or surrounding states?)Reply
Sorry Guys. PA Lottery Scratch off tickets are dead and dead forever. I have been playing scratch off's since there was only a $1 ticket (1988). Today's tickets are absolutely horrible compared to years past. The only thing you need to do is check the odds. In the past odds for $10 tickets were one winner in 3.04 tickets. Today they are almost one winner in every 4 tickets. This all started to go sideways when the PA Casinos opened. The lottery knew that the casinos would take a big slice of the

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hey JACKPOT - I agree that $20 DOUBLER # 1322 is the best game to play for $500 - but the odds for $100K are 2.52 M - where the odds for $100k on GR #1249 are 448 K - quite a difference if odds mean anything to you - not to be out shadowed by #1322 - the odds for $500 on GR 1249 are almost the same. When I look at the odds I first think - there are 13,000 retail outlets - what are my odds of hitting a decent prize when I am first faced with that number of retailers to pick from.....what's you

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Georgia has a $20 game with odds of 1 in 720k at winning $2 million. The odds of hitting $7k is also 1 in 14.4k on this game. Yes, the odds at hitting the low tier prizes suck, but who here would be interested in playing a game like this in Florida? Imagine if Florida decided to make a game like this at the $20-$30 price tier with great odds of hitting $1M-$2M. They probably could have made the $30 game have odds of 1 in 500k at hitting $2M, or something like 1 in 250k-300k at hitting $1M if the

I used to win moreReply
Well, it is one thing if the numbers prove it. Typically they make these statements without evidence justifying them. That California Second Chance drawing offering an additional top prize is a cool way of dishing out money. I would like to see lotteries recycle unclaimed prizes in this manner, or allocate those additional funds to education (which some are already doing). The FL Lottery isn't very transparent when asked these types of questions. For FL, they recently introduced a new $25 tic
