Exactly, ive been telling all the people i know who play tickets to keep and eye out. Are all the new tickets on recall, i seen the hersheys and bought one and won 5 on ticket 15, i seen the 2 dollar sizzling sevens but didn't buy one. Im hoping for the mega millions or my millonare raffle ticket to pay off. I'm going to most likely be giving up scratchers as of jan 1st...for awhile lol

Good rant, dr65! I couldn't have said it better. Imagine the confusion and missed winners with this change.
And the new games didn't fare well today. Got 3 Million Dollar Multiplier $20 tickets (#5, 16, 19) and only #16 won for $20. #6 Hersheys lost. #14 won on Sizzlin' 7s, but for $2. One 5x the Money out of 2 won for $2.

lol Matt! That steams me up when they play around with people like that. Makes me not want to buy tickets anymore......NOT! I'm just happy
we know and I'll continue to tell people I see playing.
Oh I HATE the Hershey's tickets. Will not buy them anymore...I don't care if they're giving a lifetime supply of chocolate either (btw, don't know
exactly what they're giving) but do not want it. I hate the colors and the last 4 I got were zilch. I really don't mind that they were $0.00 winners,
the color scheme makes me physically ill lmao! Give me a Monopoly any day over those. I haven't found the $20 tickets yet but am anxious to try
them. Something about that 50x deal that is mighty enticing, of course. Oh I did get a 5x symbol on the 20x the Money, I believe it was ticket #8 -
I'll have to check my pm to Keystone and verify the number. The winning amount under the 5x symbol.....drumroll.....$5 crummy bucks. Really
now, you'd think with a new release it would have been about $100 under that 5x symbol to = $500. Figures.
I'm going to find a million or two one day - might take a week, might take a lifetime but I'll still have fun searching.

Hi - haven't found the 20x the Money yet here. Really would rather play that one than the Hersheys. Tomorrow I'm only spending $30-40 while I feel the tickets out.

Here are some lucky ticket numbers from my area in Florida. A couple stores staple the winners to a bulletin board, I took a picture of it but it's not clear enough to post.
A slew of 500.00 winners have been hit in the last 2 weeks, Ticket number 003 from Monopoly and ticket number 018 from Gold Rush.
I had a great and fun day when I was going a bit crazy with my holiday ticket buying, I was hoping for the big payoff, but was happy with three 100.00 wins from 200Mil Spectacular in one day, from 2 different stores, I bought about 15 tickets from each store (they were not consecutive) and had a couple lower $ wins too, so came out well ahead.
But, then blew it all on Billion Dollar Blockbuster, (both rolls of Spectacular were emptied out). The Blockbusters paid back about half of what I spent each time until it was gone.
Ticket numbers I won on were 12, 16, 17
From the postings and people talking it seems more winners have been from 000 to 025 than from higher ticket numbers lately.
Happy new year and hope everyone wins BIG!
PS..I hope to play a good amount 100 to 200.00 and scratch them New Years Eve, I'll post the results.

I got two more Million Dollar Multipliers - #13 and dr65's #14 - and no hundred, but #13 won $20. Still behind in this game. Will give it a few more days to see if it improves.

Don't know if it's a lucky area all the time, but #66-69 on Sizzin' 7s were all winners today - a $35 winner, a $3 winner, a $7 winner, and a $2 winner.
Losing too much on the Million Dollar Multiplier, though. It and 20x the Money did badly today. I'm going to stick to the $2 games pretty soon.

Hi Matt! Thank you and Happy New Year! I don't think they're hot, I don't normally go for those except when the other $5 selections are, imo,
crummy.
Like the bingo tickets...I cannot stand the new one. They really need some fresh ideas there, I mean bingo is bingo but can we spice it up a bit?
Like maybe they could add some interesting symbols, like lucky trolls to the play field - get a troll with red hair, win $10 extra...get a troll with
green hair, win $100 extra...lol! Right now it's just blocks, 5x symbols and diamonds that never quite come together.
Speaking of symbols, another reason I hate the Hershey's is because the day they came out, I came across one of those cupid symbols....you win
the prize under the cupid - wow, some symbol..anyway when I saw it (I don't know if it's my eyes or what) I thought: OMG! WTH is that?!?
It reminded me of this guy somehow:
minus the bouncing of course. I tried 10 of the new 7's tickets ($2) and ticket number 076 and 081 won $5 and $7...Good job on your $35 win!!
It might be a good idea for awhile anyway to stay away from the Mega ticket. It might be a teaser and I suspect it's more flash than flair. I won $40
on one today ($10 prize x 4 multiplier) I'm sorry I failed to remember the ticket number...but the wins I've had so far on these are mainly pitiful for a
brand new ticket with such big hype (big hype being the 50x multiplier).
When new tickets come out, some wins are usually high compared to the cost of the ticket but when I see wins equal to the ticket price or just
doubled, that doesn't make that ticket, imo, a good one. Your $35 win on the 7's ticket is excellent....almost 20 times the ticket price. Relate that
to the new $20 ones..I should have found at least a $200 ticket or more by now. $100 on a $20 new release is so so and $40 is a smack in the

wow, does this example tell more than they planned or what? Look at the prize amount with the multiplier....$10 2 x $10 = $20 that's about
right. Somewhere along the way, the powers that be lost the meaning of what a symbol should be...it should be special! it should be unique! it
should be a thrill to see. I love symbols but also know that when you get one, you probably have the lowest payout amount under it.
I did get a chance to check out the odds page for the Mega ticket....I was surprised to see NO $5 payout amount associated with any multiplier!
I thought for sure there was going to be 50x $5....the lowest is 50x $10 = $500
Good luck and find a good one!!
Hi, dr65 - happy New Year to you, too!
Well, Million Dollar Multiplier multiplied all right again - both #4 and #5 lost - it multiplies zeros! But then good old Cash Fever made up for the losses a bit, with #29 (last ticket) winning $100. I think you are right to stop the MDM - but you know how it is. You think you'll find that big win.
Exactly right about the symbols. #39 Money Money Money had a $$$ symbol - but only $5 under it for $15 total.
#32-36 Sizzlin Sevens lost. Seems to be a streaky game so far.

Our GA Lottery Black ticket is better than yours in Florida, but then again ours is a $10 ticket instead of $5. The games with the same dollar amount seem to as a whole blow away GA games with much better odds down there. Looking at those odds makes me wish that I lived in Florida! I sure will play when I go there from now on.
I wish I hadn't quit my sorry ass job hauling cars for my last boss. My runs took me all over North and Central Florida. I would make a loop starting in down I-95 to Jacksonville, sometimes going across I-4 to Orlando sometimes to Tampa or Lakeland, sometimes up the Florida Turnpike to I-75, with stops in Ocala, Gainesville, Lake City then on my merry way back to GA. Sometimes I would go from Jacksonville across I-10 to Lake City, or the reverse of that. I could have probably made the money back that he cheated me from the FL lottery if I had just played back then!
I also love to vacation in northwest Florida. Destin is nice, Panama City is great for spring break for high school and college kids that love to party, but has little to recommend it for adults with families. It is just loud, obnoxious and trashed overall. I won't make the mistake of going back there again. I went to the beach one day near St. Augustine Beach, but I found it very hard to locate tractor trailer parking. I took my shoes off and walked a little into the water, but that was about it. I was waiting for a load to be ready at an auction, so I drove to the beach. It was OK there. I had to do a little walking to get to the beach, but I didn't mind.
I have really vacationed a lot in Florida, all along 98 from Santa Rosa Island to Panama City, but I like the 30A area the very best, as far as the mainland goes. I think we have stayed a couple of times in dwellings along that road. It is a tourist trap, but it is clean and beautiful there. If you haven't driven 30A, you really have missed out.
My favorite place in Florida is a barrier island, south of Tallahassee, accessible only by ferry, boat or plane, with sand roads and no stores, gas stations or commercial establishments whatsoever, except an inn with about 8 rooms. It is my very favorite place on earth. You have to take all of your food, drink, luggage, fishing equipment, photography equipment, toilet paper, paper towels, medical supplies, charcoal, gasoline, insect repellent, bed linens, extra clothing, VHS movies, books and magazines, trash bags, water and everything that you may need with you on a ferry, unless you have a boat or an airplane.
You can drink the water, but you will not want to. You can buy bagged ice at the unmanned fire station for $2.00 a bag. It is on the honor system, you just put the money through a slot. Most cell phones do not work there. You will see an average of 1 or 2 cars pass by a day there. I have sat through a tropical storm or hurricane there, that was really cool. That explains why everyone was in such a hurry to leave!
There are less than a dozen year round residents. It would be pretty cool if I was to purchase tickets and take them to the island and they were big winners, and I had to wait until I finished my vacation to cash them. It is the most pristine and beautiful beach that I have ever seen, and you can find tons of shells there sometimes. I will never speak the name of the island. The nearest grocery store is an IGA store, and I do not remember if they sell tickets there, does anyone know?
