Instant games!Reply
Maybe because serious lottery players like to pick numbers, which AFAIK you can't do on scratch games.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
So since I've hit the 1K on PA's match six, I haven't won diddly squat playing both number games and instant tickets. I'd say I have to have played at least $30 worth worth of number games and probably about $50 worth (maybe as much as $70 worth) of losing scratch offs. I think out of the $70 in scratch offs, I had one winning ticket which was a monopoly worth $5. I think I'm going to continue playing the scratch games semi casually, maybe $10 to $20 a week for a few more

Looking for scratch players from TNReply
hi everyone ... wow i was suprised to see replies. i waited for a day or so and never got an email notify of replies so i assumed it sank. great to read all of your comments ... i have been chewing through some Giant Jumbo's .... and oddly, my streak of luck ended about as quickly as it started. And the odd thing, it occured exactly on September 1st. I was flying along pie in the sky, playing dozens of tickets for very little investment, until the 1st and then i began scratching 5-6 even NINE

Buy older games or newer games?Reply
Illinois scratch games are/was managed by a private company than has been accused of ending games when there are still lots of prizes to win. You might want to read up on the situation to see if you have a fair chance to win.

Florida lottery winner locationsReply
Nice! I'll have to see if our L.A. Times has anything like that. Would be nice if they could separate draw games from scratch games also.

End of game schedule / Top prizes not yet claimedReply
The main thing you're missing is the middle man: the distributor/vendor. They run everything. The state lottery guys don't have the expertise in house, it is contracted out to the distributor. Also, 1-in-7,000,000 odds are pretty extreme on scratch games, which are likely in the 1-in-1,000,000 ballpark, more or less. You'd be surpised how many tickets they go through. Take California for instance. We got about 20,000 retailers. So if a game has 1-in-1,000,000 odds, and that batch is printed i

new ten dollar scratch offReply
Duckman, You're actually a little bit off, on the average a states advantage in Scratch games is around 33% - 40% for lower priced games and it is about 24%-28% for the higher priced ($10 and up) so Dustin should have lost about 750.00 on his investment . Dustin, If you're spending $3,000 on scratch tickets you should do some research first. Since you are clearly looking for that one big winner you should look at top prizes remaining for the game you are playing, crunch the numbers and

Lottery corruptionReply
dude. remember when you didn't have the cash option? seriously. mass pays out somewhere in the 70% range to the players, and they are going to offer a game with an all cash jackpot, plus they have mass cash. also, NY offers the cash option on their online games. in fact, it's the dewfault on lotto and mega milions. also, the option to play those annuity scratch games is completely up to you.

The Mass and NY Lotteries offer various scratch games (as well as two Mass online games) which force top prize winners to receive their winnings over X years, plus games with lifetime prizes.
