***Most important of all, what is winning right now?***
What are you winning the most at? I am primarily interested in amounts of at least $20, and tickets in the $5 to $10 range, but am not opposed to hearing from players of $20 games. What I am most interested in is tickets that win at least 4 times their face value. Feel free to note any trends such as favorite stores, tickets, numbers, etc.
Also, what tickets are you having the worst luck at? By bad luck, I am most interested in tickets that you have never won, have never won more than a free ticket, or that you regularly lose a lot more than you win, as compared to your overall experience with scratch-offs. I would think that someone should have purchased at least 5-10 tickets in a game, before they declare that they never win that game. There are a few that I have never won at, but I have played them so infrequently that I would not include them.
Also, is there a specific place that you win more often? Machines or cashiers? Kroger or Publix? Citgo or Shell, QT or Racetrack? Exxon or BP? The above are both pairs to compare, as well as just guidelines. Where do you think the cashiers are the most or least honest? Now just shoot me for being politically incorrect, but do you have better or worse luck at stations run by persons of Middle Eastern descent?
I am consistenly winning $15 to $25 with $5 tickets, but I am looking to up the ante a bit without spending much more than $5. I buy an occasional $10 ticket, and have only purchased one $20 ticket. My wife gets on to me more when I buy more expensive tickets, especially when they lose.
I am extremely interested in hearing from folks that have won at least $100, especially multiple times. Is there anyone on here from the Marietta area, or nearby in the north metro area?
Everything that is before this sentence is just a guideline, not an ironclad rule. I would love to hear from other folks who have won big on smaller tickets. The most I have won so far is $100, and that was on a $1 ticket, Jack-O-Lantern Cash. It was ticket number 279. As a rule, I do not play $1 tickets very often, because they do not win very often or very much, overall. I would love to hear from folks that have won more than $20 on a $1 ticket, more than three times.
Is there any one thing that you do to increase your chances, or do you use multiple strategies? Do you feel like it is more luck or strategy? How can you get cashiers to confess to playing, when they say that they do not? I fullu understand that if you buy enough tickets in a row, that you will win.
