Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
By the way, congratulations on your wins Matt! I am going to make it my goal to win the $100 jingle bell within every 7 tickets that I buy. Who knows, maybe I will. I asked one of my regular cashiers if he saw $20 games hit $500 as often as he saw $10 games hit $100. He said that he did not, and that the majority of the big $20 winners are $100. Not really thinking about spending a ton of money on $20 tickets that usually only pay out $100. On the other hand, the store owner said that he had a $

I think I got ripped offReply
No, you don't have to enter the amount that you win, the machine does all that for you. The only people that are ripping the people off in Virginia lottery scratch games are the VIRGINIA LOTTERY OFFICIALS. If you will check the web site on the Va. scratch tickets, you will find that the unclaimed prizes never change from week to week on the $20.00 tickets. The only amounts that are won are a break even $20.00 if you are lucky enough to get $20.00 out of three or four $20.00 tickets. They s

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
Sorry for the confusion, I meant to say that the requirements to be considered a Lucky Retailer has been lowered this year. On the website there will be more retailers popping up as a Lucky Retailer. Prior to the change, a Lucky Retailer is a retailer that has sold at least 2 $1 million prizes in the form of draw games or scratchers. Now it is a retailer that sold at least 1 $100,000 prize or average $4000 a week in prizes or 400 winning tickets. http://www.calottery.com/lucky-retailers/lu

Have you ever wondered why many lottery retailers are owned by members of certain racial minorities?Reply
It started back in the 1960s by our dearly deceased Teddy Kennedy and all of his Democratic pals. That is when things started really going downhill fast. You see up until that point, almost all legal immigration to the US was from Europe. Now almost all immigration to the US is from third world countries. These worthless Democrats decided that America needed to be a part of one of the most disastrous social experiments on earth: to become a melting pot, but that the pot needed new ingredients

How to win at the Georgia $20 instant game, Maximum GreenReply
From the comments from page https://www.lotterypost.com/news/201509 by Todd: I'm not sure you're getting what this is all about. It's not about how random the lottery is. We all know that nobody is able to win prizes of greater than $5,000 that often -- even daily players. It's about retailers that are probably involved in schemes in which they check customers' tickets to see if they are winners, inform the customer they have not won, and then take the winning tickets and claim t

I think I will display yet even another GA law. TITLE 50. STATE GOVERNMENT CHAPTER 27. LOTTERY FOR EDUCATION ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS O.C.G.A. 50-27-23 (2010) 50-27-23.

Weird, Retailer denied paymentReply
For Information. I write nasty letters all the time to companies, even to the Government. Ooops! Guess they have a file on me huh? LOL! The point is, I get results all the time and free stuff, apologies, and money. I just state the facts in my letters and the kicker is that I also say that I'm going to tell all my friends about how this Xcompany is treating their customers. Try it - write to the lottery commission and see if you get any results. If you want, send them a copy of the

Why I don't buy scratch lotteriesReply
Well I just checked the Scratch-it lotteries rules run by the state of New South Wales. Yep - I was right. They just sell the tickets until they are all sold and they have no obligation to disclose if the major prizes have been won. They do show recent winners on their website but this is not publicised. First time Ive seen it bc I went looking for the info. In the case of the games in various states where the remaining tickets are withdrawn after the big prize, I'm wondering how the governme

*IMPORTANT* NYS Lottery NEW LAW winding through Legislation will change Scratch offs as we know it
I started a crusade back in 2015 about scratch off's being destroyed from retailers who changed ownership, went out of business, was temp. suspended etc. These tickets would get destroyed and we never had the chance to buy them. I sent out over 1000 letters through the mail to ALL legislators state city and government. I am happy to announce that someone listened and investigated and found out I was right. Assemblyman Mike Miller from the 38 district responded and acted swiftly
