Thanks for the advice! I have been sticking to buying only 2 tickets if they are $5. Or, generally not spending more than $10 in a day. I've had luck 3 times in a row just buying 2 at a time. So, I'm kinda set on that number, BUT...I'm also considering dropping $20 anytime i play. It doesn't seem worth it to just get 1 or 2 tickets. Or I'll buy 10-$1 tickets, etc whatever i can buy with $10 or $20

The point about chasing wins is a good one. Many times when i lose i always think, dang, so... [ More ]

Intuition works for me!! I also notice that I seem to win more from busier stores. Maybe they just get more winner tickets because they cycle though stores

My biggest wins have been at food stores run by foreigners. I've also encountered big losing streaks there, and everywhere else. Sometimes mom and pop stores have big winners. I've bought 1 $25 ticket before, and hit $400 at one of those stores. Truly, we don't know where the winners are. Big wins can happen anywhere. The grocery store a mile from where I live sold a $10 million winner on a $25 ticket a couple months ago.

I've been playing scratch offs for a year. My biggest advice to you is... [ More ]

So I'm a new scratch player (about 2-3 weeks now). I'm hooked! I've kinda given up on random number draws because I wasn't hitting since I started earlier this year doing lottery for the first time.

However, I'm conflicted sometimes with buying by intuition versus just impulse. I know it sounds crazy and I'm not suggesting any kind of phenomenon, as well as the fact that I understand (but not fully) that gambling tends to have all sorts of addictive tendencies which can appear to be rational...
