So it sounds like the winning rate is still about half of what you would spend. And thanks for the info about being sure they are activated...

I bought a full unopened pack of The New York Lottery's $5 scratch offs which cost $500. (100 in a pack)

They served as the prize for a 100 square pool I ran at work. I bought a newly introduced scratch off game, so I was pretty sure that there were top prizes still available.

The guy who won them told me he won a total of $210 dollars. He actually won $200 because he bought two squares of the 100 squares in the pool. Each square cost participant's $5.

The only other thing I can add to... [ More ]

What is the cost for this? I imagine it depend on the cost of the individual ticket. So if the tix cost $5, $10 or may go as high as $20 what would be the cost of those rolls individually? I guess how many in a roll too...

For ones who have done this, what was your outcome?

Is it better to buy off of newer tickets or tickets with the most remaining one mill prizes left?

May do this as an experiment with family members...
