I prefer draw games too. It doesn't matter when or where I buy the ticket. There are too many uncontrollable variables in play with scratchers.

Heck, I'd trade $30 for 5 million cash. Occasionally I'll buy a $20 tic, but I usually buy $2 or $5 tix.

These tickets are $30. Too much. That winner is close to a mall I shop at but usually those big wins are never in northern va.

The odds for this game are appealing, Powerball and Mega Millions 2nd prize have much worse odds. I wonder what the tickets cost

If he'd known he was holding a ticket worth $10 million, George Coffroad might have been a bit more careful with it. When the Alexandria man went to his car with Virginia Lottery Scratcher tickets he'd just bought, he tossed them on the floor of the car.

It wasn't until later at home, when he scratched his 100x the Money ticket, that he discovered he'd won the game's $10 million top prize.
