$1,000 = 1,808 left of 8,800

Lately I have been playing older Illinois games such as Fabulous Fortune and 20x20 despite the limited # of grand prizes left. They have better break even odds then newer tickets and overall better chances most often to win prizes such as $1,000 and above

I mix and match depending on what store h... [ More ]
