  Does anyone win anything from the $75,000 Crossword Illinois $5 scratch off anymore?  It used to be my favorite game, now they're all losing tickets, one right after the next.  They depress me now when i see them and feel ashamed when buying one because I know it's going to be another sucky loser.

  I just want my favorite game to be the same again like it has been last year and so forth.  Illinois financial woes are definitly effecting the outcome and killing this golden goose.

  I got one yesterday, and it's fun, took long time to play. Got 2 complete words in each game.  Does the min. 3 word s for  prize must be in one game square,  or can I add the two play-areas for  a total of 4 words??

  I have been having a lot of luck lately with this ticket.

  In January of this year I won $1000, got 7 words on each grid($500 x 2)

  I've won at least 4 $100 prizes on the past 3 months.

  AND in April I got 9 words in the second grid and won $10,000! Was in

  shock when I saw that.

   

  Then there have been times where I have bought multiple tickets in a row and

  did not win a thing. I think it's a matter of being in the right place at the

  right time and getting the right ticket!
