$500 winner - Georgia Lottery BLACKReply
Yes, that was excellent. I do some of that to an extent. I do have better luck in the slower stores where I can actually count the tickets in each book. If I hit on a winner, I try and wait for 3 tickets to be sold before I buy another, and then I will often buy them until I have another winner. I dig through the trash a bit, but I have yet to find a winner so far, although I have entered many a second chance game with those tickets. I do also gather intel on tickets that way. Most people will s

Have you or anyone you known tipped clerks that have helped you select a winning instant ticket?Reply
I agree with what you are saying, and I would like to add some of my thoughts to it. I am also one of the types that usually buys my tickets and even if I scratch them in the store and win, I don't usually tell the clerk, so you are definitely right about that. I almost never turn in a winner on the spot. For a number of reasons, the main one is that I like to record all of the information from the ticket, I take them home. I also like to keep others from learning about how many losers in a row

I had a really bad day yesterday and sometimes wonder why I keep playing scratch offs. So, I went to a convenience store near my house and two clerks were working at the time. I bought two different Christmas tickets and they both lost. I bought and old $20 ticket that has been out for awhile and that ticket lost. I go back to the counter and the clerk reminds me they have a $20 Christmas ticket book with 6 tickets in it. I haven't really had any luck with this ticket but I bought one. I win $50

Hello all, I just registered because I wanted to see if my performance/outcome tonight is normal. I think I got overly lucky tonight. Two weeks ago, I bought almost a whole role (258) of Holiday Delight $1 Scratch offs. Made Back only $180 thanks to a $40 winner, but still lost $78. After keeping track of winners and trying to locate patterns, I noticed numbers ending *5 tend to be winners, but not the big winners. My $40 was #128 buried between #117-#141 and was the only winner in that en

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
I have no sense. I just don't know when to leave well enough alone, or if I have even hit well enough. I just did another stupid thing. I bought 025 and 024 Holiday Gifts. 025 was first, so I could have just bought it, and I would have won the $10 that it won. I knew that most likely only one of those stood to be a winner, and more than likely 025, so I just broke even, when I could have made $5. Now comes the next idiot thing that I did. I bought 026 and 025 Jingle Jumbo Bucks. I figured that 0

$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
I am guilty of thinking that they will learn if I don't play, or quit going to McDonald's because they have all of those ghetto commercials that seem to be catering to only the hip hop segment of society. I never eat there for that reason, but they still haven't called me up yet to see why I haven't been in for a few years. I guess our few hundreds or thousands of dollars spent there is only a tiny grain of sand in the whole Gulf Of Mexico. Sad to say, they probably don't care if we play. I a

$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
Yes, I am REALLY, REALLY unhappy about this game, and its false advertising. This after carefully examining my records. I will be contacting the GA Lottery Commission, and depending on the outcome, I may stir up a hornet's nest, well beyond what I have written here. I have tallied this game up, and this month I have spent $170 on Jingle Jumbo Bucks, and have only won $50 back, for a net loss of $120. I know what you are thinking: That's just how the lotto is. But wait a minute, even with the exp

Can I ask you something? Being an IT guy I get questions all the time, so I hope you don't mind a quick tax question. I do my taxes online. I know on Federal I claim my $1000 and I know I can offset it. When I won at the casino a few years ago(couldnt' offset with losses), I had to also claim that for state(according to the online place). Can I offset those loses on state also? I didn't file yet and I know the place online will direct me, so i guess it was more of a curiosity. My W2-G from the l

$10-Extreme GreenReply
Wow, congrats! I won a ticket on Extreme Green yesterday so on the way home, I stopped at a kind of seedy looking gas station to cash it in. I traded it in on another Extreme Green and won $25. I figured since I had just had a winner I didnt dare buy another one so I put 5 bucks toward the drawing last night and bought a $20 Millionaire ticket. When I got to the third row, I hit a Jumbo, but continued to scratch as I like to save the winnings until the end. I ended up with 5 Jumbos...Going back
