Florida Raffle Ticket $10 with 7 (700,000) PrizesReply
I hope in the near future Powerball, Mega Millions and state lotteries stop advertising the annunity. The winners always takes the cash payout anyway. That would be truth in advertisement. Who wants to recieve a check once a year for 20-30 years?

How many different stores do you buy Scratch tickets from?Reply
speaking of - there is a gas station on the FL/GA border which I go to sometimes to buy Mega Millions tickets when the jackpot is high, and that retailer must have 1000 or so winners plastered on the wall. Its just nuts...Its kinda cool to see the different winning tickets. The winners all range from like $500-$20,000

TWO Million Dollar game coming soon to TennesseeReply
Nice, and congrats on the win. I noticed only a few stores have them...I guess it takes a little while to get them out to everyone (other stores look like they have a slot for them but they arent in yet) I plan to play one tomorrow since there is no TN Cash, Powerball or Mega Millions going on. That will be my lottery thrill for the evening. By upped the numbers, do you mean the ones you match with? Someone bought one this mroning while I bought my Mega Millions -- they noticed it wa

Buy scratcher at one store, redeem at another?Reply
I have never tipped a clerk. Now if they started selling me mostly $100 winners, or if 4 out of every 5 tickets they sold me won, and that happened regularly when I purchased tickets that they sold me, I would start tipping them then. So far no clerk has gone above and beyond what I would expect as average, decent good service. I do hold some in higher esteem than others, but none have done anything on a regular enough basis to consider them worthwhile of any of the winnings. In Georgia, here

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Hi, CarHauler - I almost never win on Powerball or Mega Millions. Maybe I should look into the systems more, but I occupy myself with the scratch-offs a lot already. Hope your luck improves. I still have quite a few days when I get 1/2 or less of my money back on scratch-offs.

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Exactly, ive been telling all the people i know who play tickets to keep and eye out. Are all the new tickets on recall, i seen the hersheys and bought one and won 5 on ticket 15, i seen the 2 dollar sizzling sevens but didn't buy one. Im hoping for the mega millions or my millonare raffle ticket to pay off. I'm going to most likely be giving up scratchers as of jan 1st...for awhile lol

Scratch n' match numbersReply
The Daily Snooze scratch game also is a ripoff. The million dollars is paid in 40 annual installments, with NO cash option. At least Mega Millions lets you choose lump sum.

I don't much like the scratchers.Reply
I like scratch tickets. Online is ok but you have better odds of winning a low amount prize on a scratch ticket than on an online game like powerball or Mega Millions.

There Are A Few Good Ones In NYReply
Best odds in any NY scratch game is I think 1:9. Which is extremely bad, that is for the lowest possible prize. The $10 games, have odds such as 1:20 for lowest possible prize. You can check out the odds for all games on nylottery.org. I never play scratchers. Sometimes you have a better chance of winning the Mega Millions instead of a $50,000 prize in a scratch game.
