Hey there B$Rizzle - congrats on the GR $50 win ticket #000 ! I always had my best luck on the first ten or twelve from #000 up.
In June I got $500 on #000 and $1,000 on #001 - that was a back to back fluke and since then no big wins.
Yeah I'm waiting for the 2nd Monopoly drawing too. I have 25,426 entries put in. I saved all of my losing Monopoly tickets since they first started the game and have a lot more to enter for the 3rd and 4th draw. If you don't mind telling me how many entries you have for the 2nd draw ?? I had 10,000 for the first draw and won zip. I think they should have had more than one grand prize of $10,000 - what's your take ? The vacations arn't bad but I'm not too hepped up about winning a Monopoly game :)
Hope you win the $10,000 or at least a vacation prize !!
Hey Skeptic, I have about 10K entries so far. I used to save my old scratchers for tax time, then I threw them all away about a month or so ago and really wish I would have saved them. I had probably about 100 of the $20 losing Monopoly tickets that I could have entered into the drawing. It really sux =(
You have a ton of entries! Last drawing I had around 2,500 entries and didnt win anything either. I figured Id enter as many as possible this time and if I dont win, I wont buy as many next time around.
I also bought many many raffle tickets for the last raffle and didnt win a dayum thing. I never do well on the second chance drawings it seems.
In regards to only having one $10,000 winner, I think they should definitely have several. The FL Lotto makes soooo much money off of us, they can afford it. Usually the jackpots for unclaimed games (Scratchers, Lotto, Fantasy 5 etc etc) go toward future promo's like the Monopoly 2nd chance. I know they have a sh*t ton of $$$ that was never claimed so they can afford it.
Hopefully one of us will win the $10,000 or at least a vacation which would be nice. I also have been scoping the lotto trash bins to see if anyone thorws out losing tickets so i can enter them, but havent found any lately =)

does anyone know a way of finding out how you can find the locations of a certain scratch game? your help would be much appreciated. thank you
Only way i know of is to just call the stores you are interested in going to.
Rolls can be gone is less than an hour depending on how heavy they are played & how busy the store is. It would be really hard to find out which rolls/games that each retailer has in their current stock. Im sure there is a way to for the lottery commision to find out because each Roll is scanned and "activated" before selling, but I doubt they'd go through the trouble of finding this out

Didn't spend a whole lot ($30) because I'm not having the best financial situation, and got $15 back. At least I'm still playing for free. At Giant, I got these:

Hey everyone, I spread out the instant games today. The biggest instant ticket I ever bought I bought today called $20 $3,000,000 Cash Bonanza and partly the reason I did was it started at 001 and 002. The convenience store clerk already sold 000 and he said no one usually wins with the 000 tickets anyway. Anyone win with a 000 ticket? Just curious...
Instant Results (8/9/11):
-$1 $500 A Week for Life!, LOST (112)
-$1 Change to Dollars, WON $1.00 (change added up to $1.21) (042)
-$3 Red Ribbon Cash, WON $5 (078)
-$5 Power 7's, LOST (003)
-$5 Wheel of Fortune, LOST (what else is new with this rip off game) (017)
-$20 $3,000,000 Cash Bonanza, WON $25 (001), LOST (002)
Good luck everyone!

Put in $40, won $30 back today. Most notable is the clerk asked for a tip on $25 winnings! I've never had someone at Giant ask for a tip before. I didn't give it. What is standard lottery etiquette here?
Someone supposedly won $1,000 from that Giant store today. Again, why couldn't it be me?
I would've said..... heres a tip for you, Shoneys is hiring, theyre looking for someone to wipe the big boys ass.

I've won on #000, but I can't remember any huge amounts. Cash Fever and Big Winner Spectacular used to have $40/$50 there sometimes. Right now, I'm seeing #001 win a lot more.

Jingle Bell Doubler won $100 on #000, but that's the only $100 on that number that I remember right now.

Hey B$Rizzle - Check out my recent post on Florida Second Chance. Looks like we both took a bath on the 2nd draw.
