hello
i have been reading LP randomly for months now and ive finally decided to start posting. so i became a regular NY lottery player for the past half year. i would play mainly instant scratch tickets and sometimes jackpot games about 2-3 days a week. i would play the $5, $10, $20, and $30 scratch tickets, i rarely play the $2 and never played the $1. there are quite many lottery retailers around my area.
each time i would head out to play i would bring $100-$300 and mostly end up leaving with little or no money lol. so id estimate $1000-$2500 a month on lottery. talk about a addiction eh? yes?
anyone else spends this much on lottery? its hitting my bank account hard but as the same as all lottery players, we play for fun and for the money. the most i ever won on scratch tickets was x2 $500 from a $5 ticket and a $30 ticket. x2 $250 from a $5 ticket and $20 ticket. a few $100, $50, and lower wins. do people like to play from the beginning, middle, or end of the roll?? at the end of the day hunting for the jackpot or higher prizes, you get nothing but to head home with a empty wallet and a dirty finger, thumb from using the coin to scratch the tickets.

The best STRATEGY you can have is to save your money, there is very little strategy in scratch just cross your fingers is basically all you can do.... You wanna end up way in debt? lose your mortgage? all for playing a silly game that is designed for you to lose!
You wont ever hit the big one and for that the lottery will always take your money.
Buy maybe a few tickets a week but invest more into pick 3 and pick 4, or just invest into stop playing the game at all!
Good luck and play safe and remember things get better once you keep your money!

o man.... so just came back with dirty finger/thumb and a empty wallet. i had around $400 in my wallet and now it has become the new york state lottery money. spent about 70% of that on the $20 ''$500,000,000 extravaganza'' tickets. bought like 10 tickets 1 after another and finally only got a $20 win... (crap just got my dirty hands on my white macbook, great......) what a great day. anyway its time i realize i am too addicted. this is even worse then drugs. i should just use the money and hit the casinos, or give up all gambling. winning is great but losing a lot is the worst.
there are times when i have bought half the roll of the $5 tickets ($250), half which is 50 tickets and only won around half back. from my experience of spending this much on instant tickets so far, its true the corner numbers of each tickets doesnt matter. there will always be alot more loser tickets then winners. theres a lot to think about when wanting to win the jackpot and higher prizes. if they are even shipped out or still sitting in a storage location, if there is even a chance it will arrive in your area, out of the many rolls each lottery retailer have per game/ if that roll is even being sold when your buying, are you even lucky enough to buy that ticket out of the roll, etc.
i am probably down at least somewhere around $10,000 for the past 6-7months i have been playing scratch tickets few times a week. thats a lot of pain right there. from now on if i ever buy any lottery tickets, only 1,2, or 3 at most and bring it home.
ONLY play for fun, if your playing to win... then i hope you have the money for it. my mind and imagination is weak against the new york lottery advertisement when i first picked up the coin on my first scratch ticket. imagination sometimes is a bad thing....

I think your last comment on your paragraph is your soul telling you to STOP and play SAFE! Buy one or two tickets a week man... I am soon going to post some facts and data on here for everyone to see "Why they won't ever win big on scratchers..
Please play safe!
