Funny you mention that. The store owner next to my work said he use to own a store in GA. Told me he feels it is the best state to play. I wonder if any GA people can confirm.

As a Tennessean traveilng through GA a few times a year, I can tell you I lose on GA tickets just like TN ones lol.

However, I dont play as much in GA obviously (heck I dont even play much here in TN)

But what I DO LOVE about GA is their top prizes -- they beat the snot out of any state I have been to.

Living in TN and traveling to SC sometimes I get to check out NC, GA, and SC lotteries. I havent seen much of NC but it seems to be on the lower-scale as far as high prizes go. SC as well.

KY has the absolute worst I have ever seen.

From my observations, this seems to be the breakdown of what a $5 and $10 scratcher will get you in these states (SC doesnt have any $20 ones I guess):

$5   

GA: 300,000 TO 500,000

SC: 75,000 TO 100,000

TN: 70,000 TO 150,000 (usual is 100,000)

NC: About the same as SC I think

KY: 40,000 ?

$10 

GA: Up to $1million

SC: Up to $200,000

TN: 200,000 TO 250,000, Though once they had a 500,000 one

NC: About the same as SC

KY: 100,000

So as far as that goes, GA seems to be the best bang. Stay far far away from KY Scratchoffs (thought they do somteims have a raffle which is more than I can say for TN Lottery)

Bought the new 5$ ticket roll in FL, holiday one, spent 295 got 105 back. Currently workin on the $2 Monopoly...lotta scratchin. I won't buy a roll for awhile, but next time it will e a 20$ one for sure.

Thats pretty bad. Was 1 ticket already purchased that you spet $295? My worse roll was #120ish on a $300 roll and best was right around even. I have never profited even a $1 on a roll. Think the best was around a 90% return.

i have been buying 5 dollar rolls for the past week 300$ a roll ,  usualy got back around 150-225 the worst one was 110$ or something close to that some were like 280ish,  best outcome i have had so far was 615$

I got back only $135 on one roll, and the other roll I bought I got back $240, so I have had mixed results. I am thinking it might be a good idea on the newer tickets. I will tell you one thing, on the bigger win, I specifically requested a good book, and told them that I did not want junk. Did that have anything to do with it? I don't know because I have only bought two rolls, and on the first I did not specify. These were both $20 games, and had 15 tickets each (all rolls in GA are $300). Kind of makes me wonder. Maybe I should buy a few more and test the waters. Just remember, by and by, the average "good" winner will be around 4-5x the price of the ticket, so with $5 tickets you will end up with more $20 winners, whereas you are likely to hit the $100+ winners on $20 tickets. TheOtherOne is right as far as what the top prizes are in GA. Those numbers match my experience. I keep looking for patterns with no real good luck. And yes, the $20 rolls do cut down on scratching time. The $20 tickets in Georgia all have top prizes of between 2.5 and 5 million.

once a year I treat my self and buy a book last year I bought a book of 5.00 tickets which came with 100

tickets and won 475.00 back

the year before I got a book of 10.00 which was 50 tickets and won back 360.00

Here a tip I save all my change until I get 500.00 worth and that is what I buy my tickets with

you be suprise how fast your change can add up
