Unclaimed TicketsReply
Are you sure it was users that tossed them? I have seen the lottery end games and burn the remaining, with jackpots left. I don't know how Massachusetts does it, but at least in PA we have the barcode to self check. I self check 99% of my tickets cause I have missed winners before. Too easy to be in the Lottery sucks and I lost mindset and totally miss a winning #. I think the lottery does it on purpose in hopes they don't have to payout. Alot of close #'s that can get you cross eyed.

Trying something new (MASS)
So recently Massachusetts has come out with a new $30 scratch ticket (Supeme Millions). I've decided since I've had no luck with keno, PB, MM, etc that I would try something new. I will buy one of these new scratch tickets once a week, from different locations, for 10 weeks. My only reasoning for this (other than my losing streak) is I noticed the big winners are usually in the first batch of newly released scratch tickets. I normally spend between $20 and $40 per week on lottery so this allows

What denomination would you pick if you were to buy a whole pack of scratch off tickets?Reply
Bran77 I would be too disgusted if I played 2 cards @ $20 and end up winning nothing which happens quite often. I'm quite sure I would win something on 20 cards @ $2. This is my experience playing in Massachusetts

"Peeking" is scanning unsold cards to determine winners
http://www.necn.com/news/business/Massachusetts-Lottery-Audit-Finds-Problem-Areas-280961412.html The odds of winning are already terrible and with this peeking practice on, I don't think players have any shot at winning at all.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I love new tickets in Massachusetts! My biggest win (10K) came on a newly released ticket this same time of year. This is the first ticket I purchased of this $5 ticket that came out today! Love the single number matches when it is $100 or more. Good luck to everyone- keep winning, find the life-changer!

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
I read a lot of complaints with high denomination games from other states too, in other threads here (e.g., Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, etc.). I recall reading a $30 game had a gap of 13 straight losers. It looks like Massachusetts is the state lottery to study and learn from (are you listening California?).

$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
You are kidding right? You are complaining to the lottery because you did not win? You should be embarrassed. I can understand frustration if you bought 17 tickets in a row but you bought them at 4 different stores. Of course the lottery randomly distributes tickets. I have seen back-to-back-to-back $100 winners and as many as 12 losers in a row, on $5 massachusetts tix. I know of a $100 winner attached to a $10,000 winner. It is random- it is a game of chance. The rules are clearly stated and t

Wierd Question
As you can see this is my first post. So, I just turned 18 about 5 months ago. So, I went on a trip to Indiana over the summer and I went to other states. I thought it would be cool to lottery tickets from each state I went to. So, Then I thought why not get tickets from states I went to when I was younger. This is where you help comes in if possible. I was hoping someone in these states (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geogria, Flordia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maryla

Out-of-State Scratching
I do not do a lot of traveling around the states as I am usually heading for the Carribean or on a cruise somewhere. However, I do like to pick up scratch tix from other states when get the chance. Never had much luck. Anyone have any luck whilst on vacation or traveling? I would love to get one from each state. Anyone interested in sending me one from your state in exchange for a Massachusetts tic? Just an idea. Not sure how to make it work but I think it would be cool to have an exchange of so
