yes i went back and got 18 more again and won 695 dollars. i originally posted that i won 675 but i went through the cards a second time and found another twenty dollar winner making it 695 instead. i was very happy. my wife and i will be leaving on the 24th of may for vacation in ocala and orlando fla and maybe a couple of weeks after that we will make more trips up to a couple of hot spots up north for our treasure hunt again. 695 is nice but thats far from what i'm looking for. the top prize...

Cool story, but All Time Favorite ? Don't know about that. lol They were good but not the best in my opinion. Typical 80's and 90's hair band with a slight lead in my type of creative taste.

I met Lynch too. All the band members were there. Lynch was practicing on a song for the next album, and Don was auditioning models for the upcoming music video. It was so sureal to me.

You wouldn't happen to be Don Dokken's son or daughter?

You're not crazy... I envy your restraint and wish you luck on that strategy... although, I have to admit... I hope there isn't too many that play the way you do... that big winner could be sitting in that pile of yours while the rest of us unwittingly chase JP that are already claimed... so much for unclaimed prizes remaining eh?

Regular LP's have warned of that, but I digress...

LOL, your so right. I was buying 3 scratchers the other day $1 each from the vending machine and i noticed a couple old guys sitting down at the tables as soon as i got my tickets they stood up and bought $20 worth of the same tickets LOL! I found it funny and annoying at the same time... I ended up winning $7 of 3 tickets...

Gotta beware of the them dirty hawks

Right, because they are designed for every 5th or 6th tickets to pay SOMETHING. At a machine people can wait for a few losers to be sold and then buy a couple of those for a winner. (hint hint shy

If I played scratchers, which I very rarely do, I would only get them out of vending machines where there are no ticket hawks hanging around. I was in line to buy PB tickets last summer and the guy in front of me asked for a couple scratchers and the clerk steered him away from the ones he wanted because he told him that the last guy got two $50 winners off that roll already (they knew each other).

Even with the vending machines, if there's people loitering around I wouldn't buy any.... [ More ]

Hi ddokken16,

Wow you have 18 scratch tickets stored for a rainy day that's great. I like your strategy of buying 1 scratch ticket from different stores. For the last 6 months I was buying scratchers but scratching them within 2 weeks or a month from purchasing them. I wouldn't be able to wait to scratch all the tickets that you have. I've thought about going to different stores very far from where I live but I usually think of the gas money I would be spending and then don't do it. Unless I... [ More ]

i drive about 175 miles to norfolk and virginia beach and go to several 7 11s and other stores to buy 1 20 dollar scratchcard from each store and i put them away to scratch at another time. so far i have 18 of them stashed away. i take my vacation from work in late may and i'll probably play a little there as well but not too much. when we come back from vacation in early june i'll wait a few days and rest from all the driving and then make a trip back to norfolk and virginia beach and get about...
