If ticket 000 paid me $30, the price of the ticket, what do you think ticket 001 will pay?

Nobody has a clue where the winners and losers are in a book of cards.

This question also puts us in a difficult position because we only know the outcome (whether it's a winner or a loser) for only one ticket in the entire book. How are we supposed to know about the rest of the cards?

Some state lotteries publicly say that a book of tickets will have X amount of winners and Y amount of losers. That means if you bought many tickets in a book and counted the amount of winners and losers, yo... [ More ]

That's what's up! Happy for you. More than likely, 001 is still there in stock, as no one seems interested. I bought 2 $10.00 tickets, 039 and 040, both gave me $20.00 each. So profit:$20. Went to another store to get the same tickets with my $20 win. Both losers. Probably should have stuck to the first store.

I couldn't tell you but if I had to guess, I would say 10 times the amount of ticket 000. At least that's what happened to me tonight. I bought 10 tickets off a fresh roll at a convenience station. Ticket 000 paid $10, and ticket 001 paid $100. In fact I netted $160 combined from tickets 000 - 009.

Yeah it was a good night.

Hopefully your luck was just as good.

Ok thanks. I'm doing $10 tickets for now. Might get a $30 ticket in a couple of weeks.

The tickets are the beginning and end of the roll paying out the highest are a myth. It is possible, and likely 001 would be a dud. Context matters too. If the previous several tickets were losers, then I'd say it is a higher chance of that one being a winner.

I didn't buy both, but thought about doing it. So many prizes remain.

I know somebody knows something

If ticket 000 paid me $30, the price of the ticket, what do you think ticket 001 will pay?

It seems like it will pay nothing, but I don't know
