Biggest HitReply
Since I started playing the NY lottery a little over a year ago, my biggest hit was $500 on a $10 scratch game here about six months ago. Two weeks later I won another $500 on the same game. My next biggest win was $200 on the Win4 daily game. I wagered 50 cents on a number that had 2 identical digits. I played it as a box. The real irony of the story is that the number was drawn in the exact order that I played it. I would have won $5,000 if I played it straight for $1 or $2,500 if I played it

Any tips on scratch offsReply

You will need to waste a lot of time loitering in the store watching what others are playing. People who work in the store where I purchase my tickets told me they have done this many times with considerable luck.Yep they do that and many of

N.H. Lottery delays online game amid controversyNews Story
The state Lottery Commission has pulled back its planned July 1 launch of new games that add an Internet element to scratch ticket gambling. In an announcement late yesterday, the commission said it will push back the soft launch of PlayNowNH.com, and use the time to educate state leaders about its new interactive game. The commission ran into stiff headwinds among lawmakers last week when it posted advance notice on its website of the PlayNowNH suite of games. The Legislature rejected ex

Losing faith in lottery, dismayed at what I'm seeing in America
i couldn't figure out if I wanted to post in scratch games or here. But lately I've mainly been playing scratch games, but before I stuck to random numbers. Don't mean to discourage anyone else from playing, but in my case I've been playing hard for 8 months now and still no win over $40. I look at the trends in random number games, I look at the odds and prizes claimed on scratch offs and remaining left. I have even been buying 2-5 $5 scratchers in one batch, and up to 10 $1 scratchers in a

When you are in a slump/losing streak how do you change things up?Reply
I'm not sure I agree with your statement of with Scratch games you win more often with a higher percentage. Well, I'm sorry but you have to agree. These are matters of undeniable fact. I comes from the game odds and prize structure of the various games. I think part of your problem is that you don't know what kind of results you are supposed to be getting, and are not measuring what you are getting, so you can't accurately evaluate how well or poorly you are doing. An important part of gettin

IL Lottery Complaint from Scratcher & IL LotteryMan Returns!
Hey guys and gals, I'm back. I started playing some scratch tickets and only play Mega or Powerball now if it's over $150 million or around there and more. Glad to be back with the group. If you check out the IL Lottery's FB page today, someone was complaining that he bought 4 of the $20 Gold Bullion tickets in a row numbers 000, 001, 002, and 003 and he didn't win anything and was very upset. The IL Lottery replied and they told him basically too not play that much because the lottery, is

Would the lottery get upset if we post pictures of TOP PRIZE scratch off tickets?Reply
I think only Texas has the min payout per book. I disagree. Texas is just a lot more forthcoming with disclosure about it's scratch games. They are the only one I've seen actually publishing a minimum pack value on their website. But that doesn't mean that other states don't also have a minimum pack value just because they don't publish it. There are lots of states that have varying degrees of disclosure about prize tier updates, etc. These scratch games are made by just a couple of

Nebraska Lottery marks 30th Anniversary with first $30 scratch-off gameReply
Unfortunately Nebraska does not have the population to support big ticket scratch games. Once the students go home, all you have left are cows and vast grasslands. They should have made the jackpot at least $1m. I hope this ticket sells well for them. They should have made it 30 first prizes of $300,000.00 each.
