The Set For Life games tends to have fewer prizes overall as most of the money goes into that top prize at long odds so they tend to give a rather unsatisfactory feel in terms of winning intermediate prizes. The same is true of games so as the $50 game in Texas where a lot of the money goes into the top $10 million dollar prizes. Games such as the $20 Blockbuster are capitalized with a lot more money and the $100, $200, and $1,000 prizes occur more frequently. Even the Super Set For Life game wh... [ More ]

Sorry to hear about that!

Which $20 ticket did you buy. I have had awful luck with the money mania. Totally crap. But the win it all, has been great for not only me but my husband as well and he really only buys scratchers occasionally. He bought one and won $100. Bought another and won $20. The last one he bought he gave to me and I won $100 as well. The one I bought for myself, I won $400. lol I know...I am scared to press my luck because over the holiday I had 2 win it all's and ended up n... [ More ]

I only got back almost half from what I spent on scratchers. Did awful on the $20 and $30 games and better with the smaller $2 and $10 game. Was disappointed with results and would never do that again.

My girlfriend borrowed the $4 I had in my pocket so I didn't play anything yesterday. Two things are certain, you can't win if you don't play and girlfriends are a money losing proposition.

You know, I need a little more than just buying the first ticket in the roll to go on. Why would ticket 000 be more likely to win? The packs alternate between having the first ticket faced up or face down which means half of ticket 000's are from the top of the sheet while the other half are from the bottom of the sheet. Are you saying that it's easier for them to swap out a die at the edge of the stamp during custom print runs? If so, then ok, it might be worthwhile but do they really let the t... [ More ]

Hi,

I played the 20 win it all. It's so funny because I used to buy 2 tickets in a row (trying to increase odds) but the day I won the $400 I actually bought only 1 ticket which was the winner and even that was at the spur of the moment. I've also played the 30 cash spectacular and have only broken even until finally I lost my 30 bucks. I'm going to buy some tickets around town and save them for christmas day (like you) and I will let you all know if I win anything

I think when they open the pack up it is is really the last ticket in the pack number wise, but the first to vend atleast this is what i noticed. and i've bought many.

Just curious what game you hit on in IL. I been turning away from smaller games and now only hunting for the big game. That's $30 ticket does have some good odds for a cool mil.

I bought a stack of scratchers that I am saving for Christamas Day. Wide range of games and numbers. Will let know if I hit anything big. I am hoping to get at least 1/3 of it back so i can reinvest in the raffle next year hoorah

I've only had bad luck with scratchers that are amoung the very firsts. I've won good amounts or broke even with numbers in the teens and 20's.

Let me just say that if I had any luck it'd be bad.

This story starts Tuesday morning when I walked into a store to buy some online tickets, about $11 worth of various games. I hadn't been in this particular store, but I was in the neighborhood running an errand so I decided to pop in. The first thing I noticed was two online terminals, which means they do brisk lottery business, and the clerk was lottery-friendly, which is a nice change for the area I live in. That put me in the zone right a... [ More ]

You are on to something with the 012 because I just won $400 and the number of the ticket was 012..however I have recently had two tickets with the 000 number from different locations and they were duds.

I usually buy my tixs at the local mom and pop stores which incidently are owned by asians and they are nice people and I'm a regular so they won't mind reading off what the next tix # in the roll are. Yeah good luck getting someone at 7-11 or other major chains for some personal friendly service.

That's why if I ever win big there, I wouldn't mind giving them a tip or something.

I don't know what it's like anywhere else, but in FL I don't see anybody requesting specific tix in a roll. You get the next one. All the clerks I deal with are so cranky to begin with I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of asking them for anything that might require some effort.

Saw a lotto vending mchine in IL displaying winning tickets that were sold there and I noticed that 2 of the 3 $1000 winners ticket was both '000' with other being '012' which are all low numbers. I heard from other members here that first couple of tickets in a roll are winners maybe not jackpot but significant enough. Now these were all $20 tickets. How would you even be fortunate enough to be the first to buy them? I am thinking you would have to be an employee.

I am going to start buying... [ More ]
