Good point.

Another way to determine whether a ticket is a winner is to look at other players results. That's the key part of playing scratch games that you don't get with draw games: Scratchers are a competitive game, where you are competing for the same wins in the pack against other players. And if that other player also happens to be the clerk, well, he can be your toughest opponent.

But if his poker face ain't too good, you could use what you mentioned as clues:

Happy face - someo... [ More ]

How To Determine Winning Scratch-Off Lotto Tickets Texas

When you ask for a ticket look at Patels facial expression.

Happy face = Losing ticket.

Sad face = Winning ticket. It really works.

I also would like to see an example of this to compare to FL. Does Scientific Games have the contract for Texas tickets like FL? I would think that the TLC were not the ones that created the algorithm and left that to the vendor and I doubt they develop one for each indivdual state, though it might be possible.

I tried following the match/exercises, but I'm getting lost tracking some of the numbers. Maybe the TX tickets are different? But I'd like to see if there is a similar pattern in FL b... [ More ]

Duck - So true. Bet a little to win a lot. You must manage your money. Never get too down after a loss or too high after a big win. Steady use of your experience should keep you in the black. Don't chase - don't GET in the position of chasing.

Patience pays off. For Lotto, go for the high payouts on winnable games (not Mega or Powerball) but Pick 3 and Daily 4. Cash Five is good because hitting two numbers still pays $2, hit 3 and win $10-$20 and hit 4 (which I did 2 weeks ago) and got $431.... [ More ]

IF I had a signature - motto - it would be Bet a little to win a lot and be patient. This approach works if you can maintain a level head and not waver.

Wise words ... where most gamblers get into trouble is chasing wins and continue spending beyond what they should. Knowing when to quit is just as important as knowing when to play...

Hey all - first of all, let me diffuse something in my posts - I am not crazy, LOL! I have spent decades as a bookie (early days) and from MLB and NFL, I have a good way with numbers, I see things and sometimes, it can't be explained easily (or at ALL!). I am an avid horse player, less now that Lone Star takes 20% off the top (GREED) so, I will sometimes go to spend a day playing Belmont, Hollywood Park and the simulcast building is a place to be left alone - no one bugs you. Most people make th... [ More ]

Oh yeah, I forgot how detailed TX is in their publication of lottery data, more than any other state.

I don't buy the pack number to zip code association, as that would be a random allocation based on store orders of packs. Otherwise, if it was targeted, then TLC would be guilty of fraud.

But let's separate your two different analysis:

1. location of top prize tickets

2. identification of winning tickets within a pack

1. As far as locating where top prize tickets are, does the kno... [ More ]

Just go to Texas Lotto home page, go to Scratch Off games, pick a game where there has been jackpot winners. Then, click the highlighted number of jackpots claimed - all the info, seller, address, zip code of retailer, and pack # is displayed. People forget that ALL of these: Address, zip code and packet number use SEVEN positions. So, say the one I just looked at Cash Multiplier , which has ONE jackpot winner, I found another interesting item. You must think outside-sideways and look at the gam... [ More ]

I just checked 3 different games and the numbers don't all add up to the same totals. Yes, some share the same sum, I counted a good 5 or 6 that did.

Where is it that you have access to pack numbers for jackpot winning scratch tickets in Texas

Because, if you examine the jackpot winners, ALL the winners have packet numbers (even various) that add up to an exact total - all of them, the SAME NUMBER!

I just checked 3 different games and the numbers don't all add up to the same totals. Yes, some share the same sum, I counted a good 5 or 6 that did. But there are also a finite number of sums using 7 digits of 0 to 9, so it should be expected that some match. I don't completely understand your method so I'm probably missing something,...

Ok, I wanted to post my entire 'how to' on this, but basically, the edge here is the ability to tell (by calculation) IF a ticket is a winner or not. It is an exact formula? Process? But, all I know is this - in designing this 'random' game, the only random thing is which packs get delivered to which stores. Am I saying that the Lotto folks KNOW where the jackpots are? YES, without a doubt. Because, if you examine the jackpot winners, ALL the winners have packet numbers (even various) that add u... [ More ]

I find scratch-offs more fun than drawings games so I'll take a gander here. What advantage are you purporting to calculate? Your post is a little confusing. Are you saying that based on numbers on the back of a ticket you know whether the pack is worth playing or not?

We already know how many winners are in the pack. The lottery says so in the game technical procedures, which aren't written on the ticket. You can also determine how far away the next winner is based on the odds of winning, wh... [ More ]

First - HELLO! - I am new here, but I've been watching for a while. Briefly, this is about Scratch-Off Tickets in Texas. G-Tech is the company that makes the Texas tickets. This is about the Scratch Off tickets only. I've joined because I have (through MUCH effort and examination of my winning AND losing tickets) found a reason for all the information on the back of SO's. One day, I thought - what are all these numbers and I noticed subtle similarities with the Jackpot winners. I was really amaz... [ More ]
