Hey buddy, just curious. When you go "slow playing", how much do you use (normally) for your initial purchase? I realize that a lot of your winnings each day get re-invested in more tickets. Knowing your starting investment each day puts things even more into perspective.

Congratulations, keep the winners coming!!!!!

Shawn, I usually have $40 to spend (sometimes more -- depends on a few things). Spending it all depends on how much time I have (most times I play them so slow that it's time to go before I blow it all). Sometimes I hit a $30 or greater winner after a few minutes and decide to stop playing. I just buy 1 ticket at a time until I hit a cash winner before switching to another kind.

This ticket wasn't slow playing, though.....just to be clear. It's just buying a few before I go into work (and the place I bought this ticket isn't very far....you can see it standing outside of the building). Unless it's at the tobacco mart around 11 or 12 noon on a day I have to work, I don't slow play before going into work. Usually, I allow myself about 10 minutes before work (and I usually get to work about 15 minutes early anyway even after playing tickets) to stop by and grab some tickets (providing that I have sufficient funds to play with.....min. $10), scratch them off, go in and cash in lowball winners, and scratch them off. I don't buy one at a time like with slow playing (although I'll scratch them off like slow playing unless it's almost time to go....then I'll just get to the nitty gritty and see if I won anything.)

Thanks. That puts it all in perspective. You've got some incredible luck on scratchers pal. Keep it up.
