Cheating FL Lottery Store RetailerReply
There is no law against it in Georgia, but I don't know about other states. Now that does not mean that it is not against the retailer's rules. One store owner told me that he would not hire anyone that played the lottery. A clerk at another store told me that they are not allowed to play and the owner would watch the tapes and fire anyone that played. Most clerks say they don't play, but I think a good number of them do, especially station owners. What are they going to do? Fire themselves? I k

Gold Rush TriplerReply
Hey Skeptic, I wondered about this too, and it seems that the odds for each game are extremely higher than the advertised odds on the Florida Lottery website. I've googled the game's name and emergency rules and found the same odds that you reference in your post. It appears that these are the odds 'per pool' released. When you consider the total number of tickets per pool and the total number of pools, and then divide by the total number of tickets--- you get the 'overall' odds that are adve

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
It only seems lucky for Holiday Gifts, but I got my second free ticket there, so I am hoping that this does not become the norm. I am 9 for 19 with this game at this store. I am watching not only the ticket number, but each pack individually. I wonder if someone else has figured out Jingle Jumbo Bucks, and that is why I am not winning. When I study the tickets, sometimes the cashier will ask what I am looking for, and I tell him the ticket number. He says it doesn't matter! What a crock! For

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Due to formatting issues, I cannot post a direct side by side comparison of the odds on the old L4L games compared to the new ones being released. But here are the highlights: The odds on the non-top prize levels have not changed in any meaningful way. This means that your odds of winning $1,000, $500, $10, etc are about the same with the new L4L games as the old ones of the same dollar domination. The real change is in the top prize odds. For the $5,000 a week for life: The old odds for the

How to calculate odds
My state posts odds online for new scratch-off games. But once the game has been sold for a while, I assume the odds have changed. Is that correct? So, for example, if there were 10 of the top prize available at the beginning, but 6 have been won, how do you calculate the odds for the remaining 4 top prizes? More important, how do you calculate the odds for all remaining prizes as a group? Thanks.
