  The best way to go about winning is to buy one ticket at a time. If you win leave if you dont win play again, the key is to never buy different tickets, you have to stick with the same ticket in the same role, if you lose buy that exact same ticket again, your chances improve 50% or more and almost guarantees your chance of winning.

  Thats the way i do it too. Always stick with the same roll until i find the winner. Sad thing is though, ive seen certain games go 15 tickets without winning, with the 16th ticket being the lowest winning prize.

  I also do this most of the time. I will admit sometimes I play the new games, or something I have a hunch for, but I like to stick with the same roll.

  What KILLS me, though, is when I am in the middle of buying and scratching them and some schmo zips up and buys a ticket from the roll I have been on. Especially if they win something of course.

  If they do win something, I just want to know about it for peace of mind. Otherwise, like if they leave, I am left wondering "should I continue? Or assume that person bought a massive winning ticket and walk away"

  Moral of the story: watch out for people approaching, and try to buy them during slow traffic times.
