Pennsylvania: 10/1 - 10/31/2023Reply
I stumbled across a betting technique that's put a smile on my face but not in the way you'd expect. Might be a fluke, but I thought I'd pass it along here in case somebody else wants to try it. Find one of the full service lottery vending machines that prints out Fast Play and draw game tickets. You'll want something in a not-too-busy store because you'll be on the machine for a couple minutes. I fill out my betting slips in advance and put a couple dollars more in the machine than the bet

CT Lottery app mistakenly identified winning tickets as losersReply
PA Fast Play (NJ is likely similar) is basically an electronic instant ticket. It appears, at least in PA, Fast Play tickets are divided into blocks (akin to packs) of 1,000. When one buys a Fast Play ticket, the order of winners and losers has already been determined, just like playing instant tickets. The difference is the print on demand part, and that others elsewhere can buy from the same block; one may be able to game that a little during slow sales periods (ie. late at night). Rambling

ok I could say Iam corrected but to be fair to myself I didn't know but here is what I found. I love this forum, Learn so much (still can't win lol) Feb 04, 2022 What Is Pa Fast Play ? Similar to Scratch-Off games, there are Fast Play games, too without needing you to scratch. Choose the game: Visit any PA Lottery retailer to play the game you want or visit any PA Lottery self-service vending terminal for one of the games available. When you purchase a Fast Play ticket, it is printed at the

Lottery Complaint Investigators don't investigate anythingReply
Buying any type of instant lottery game (ie. EZ Match, Fast Play, etc), in which the play area is fully visible, from a retailer is very risky. Always buy such tickets from a machine or subscription. Pennsylvania Lottery introduced Fast Play several months ago so I gave it a try. Usually I play at self-service machines, but also bought some from some small mom pop convenience stores. In some of those instances, it was clear the retailer was looking at the tickets. Fortunately, in my case, I w

Anyone here an Idaho Scratch off player?Reply
One big reason that I don't play games with 1 remaining top prize left.. could have been tossed, could have been purchased but the winner is waiting to claim for whatever reason. I have been leaning towards the fast play games in Pennsylvania. There is no question if the jackpot ticket has been won because as soon as it is the top prize resets or the game ends.

I was surprised to learn about the Act 97 stuff myself. I went looking for info on the Fast Play profitability and ran across that report. You know going in that it's run as a for-profit business, but to learn that they petitioned state congress to reduce the payouts by 5% and got that passed is eye-opening. Haven't looked into how this compares to profit mandates in other states but it does make you think about it. Hopefully next year we actually see noticeable improvements in the scratcher and

Kentucky Lottery Instant Play jackpot winner celebrates by handing out moneyReply
I'm confused by this article. Will look up this instant game in a bit, but Fast Play is not available to play on line. The KY Lottery Bank Buster acts the same with growing jackpots like our Fast play. Jackpot for our $20 Fast play is over $1.2 million, highest in the country. I'm taking a couple of weeks off from playing that one. Well in any case, a moot point, she was very generous of her! On their website it said sixteen winners won $1K or more last week....hmmm am tempted to t

Fast Play Games PA
Searched around for some info but found didn't get much of an answer. Anyone know if these are truly randomly generated when you purchase a ticket? One of the progressive jackpots is getting up there on the $20 and wondering if it's worth it. Dropped 100 before and got back $50

With all the tricks and gimmicks that that lotteries try to pull off, I sincerely believe that this was NOT an error in the card reader. This is why anyone that plays those electronically generated lotteries (such as Fast Play here in NJ) is just throwing their money away with NO chance to win. At least if you play the physically draw games you have some kind of chance.

PA Lottery Fast Play $30 Fat Wallet
PA Scratch off odds continue to creep against the player with every new game. You can feel it when you play. Less winners and many more winners equal to the ticket price, so not a winner at all. The one game that I've had success with recently is the $30 Fat Wallet fast play game. I know $30 is steep but the odds of winning are 1 in 2.64 tickets. Placing it at the very top of all games in PA. Three months ago I hit a $1000 prize on this game. I was buying one ticket per week. I've purchased 20 t
