Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
So gambling with the lottery is OK, but gambling with a skill game is not? Many times I have seen people scratch games at the counter, buy more, scratch more, buy more, etc. I don't see any distinction between that and pressing buttons on a screen repeatedly. Seeing a distinction between those two things is where I think it turns from a logical debate into a debate on personal choices and of opinion. That's where I draw the line. I don't like arbitrarily preventing people from making choices in

Maryland husband calls wife cheap for lottery strategy, but she wins $229,774 using her methodReply
Big difference playing 1.00 and 2.00 games and buying 20.00 and 30.00 scratch off cards to a budget. I fail to see what his problem is with her playing mostly cheaper games. It can't be the lucky numbers she uses at least on that 229k she just won since it was a quick pik. Strange reaction by him.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Congrats. I found a $50 winner because they didn't scratch the amounts. I also found a $40 on the $10 diamond game. They scratched the game which had a 2x but they didn't reveal the amount or scratch the barcode. I'm guessing a lot of people aren't reading the rules on any of the games and just are matching numbers. I'm checking all throw away tickets that don't have their barcode revealed.

Self-proclaimed "King of Scratchers" wins $5 million in California Lottery thanks to superstitionReply
How many different 20.00 tickets are for sale at one time in California. He probably plays other games besides scratch tickets and probably buys other denominations of those also. He knows the clerks undoubtedly and probably says any of the 20.00 babies only 6 deep on that new roll you put out this morning. The clerk looks at the half dozen up there or so and says you're in luck 8 9 are next on this one. He did say he always tries to buy the 7,8 or 9 in the roll which I interpret that he may sti

Massachusetts Lottery shakes up Megabucks gameReply
I am afraid the 1.00 games will go the way of the 1.00 scratch ticket. This particular game which I have played since its inception has good value. They messed around with it over the years mostly just raising the matrix of numbers higher but made some adjustments in the secondary prizes along the way. Now, they have reduced the matrix by 5 numbers. Doubled the cost and doubled the secondary prizes. 44 numbers aren't bad for a 6 number draw game with no bonus ball which always annoyed me in othe

Dream feels all too real, so much so that he had to follow through with it By Kate Northrop A Maryland man's dream literally became a reality when he was inspired by a vision of his father gifting him a lottery ticket, played the lottery in real life, and won a $57,777 prize.
