I think he must've crashed and burned ...he's gone now. I honestly didn't know what to say other than wooo hooo.....after I read it 4 times. That
was....interesting.
I often stand in front of the machine and think about the top prizes....on a $1 ticket, would the top prize of $5,000 be good enough...yes but how many
of them are there and how many $1's and free's are in between? LOADS.
On the $2 tickets, would $25,000 be enough? Same problem though.
I don't know if the trick is to buy just one type of ticket every time you go out or bounce around just buying one at a time. I'm convinced the ticket
prizes are put out in phases every 2 weeks or so to different areas. What I'm noticing now is that the Sizzlin 777 are giving wins with 5 matches for $10
each total: $50 - I got 3 of them in the past week at different stores. I found one tonight with 5 prizes @ $20 for $100, ticket #045
After the first week, they dropped down from being pretty good to being pretty bad...meaning $5 x 2 - big deal. They are at an ok stage right now.
Random is BS. That's what they say: random - They're like robots at headquarters...all programmed to say and think the same thing.
I guess they can't play, otherwise they might see the light.
Have you tried sticking with the same game at all? Mighty frustrating to stick with just one type but maybe that would help. I always said
that bouncing around was the way to go and still believe that. I don't like buying out a bin...I wouldn't buy 10 at once of a $20 ticket. I know people do
it but I just never liked the idea. The latest tickets are CRAP on odds...they're almost at 1 in 5 for some of them. The $20 Winner Take All is still at 3.
something but the price is high - before you know it, you could be out $60 or more going to 3 stores.
In my area....the Frenzy's are junk, the Lucky Spots are good, the Win for Life are okay....possible to win $25 at a time, the Chili tickets are friggin
frustrating at even 10 at a time....$1 x 4 and not a darn pepper in sight for me YET, the All that Glitters are junk, the Royal riches are a joke, the
Winning 3's aren't bad, the Mini-Multipliers are trash. About the best one out there is the Sizzlin 777's but you just have to buy one and max 2 at a time.
A lot of times I find $5 x 4 so there's the $20 back...but a lot of times they're $0 too or just $10.
What exactly to do in your area, I'm not too sure. If you have the stomach to try just one type, like just Mothers Day or just Solid Gold's and stick with
that method for 2 weeks buying just one, max two whenever you are buying it might work out better. I don't know if where you go they sell out of tickets
fast but I'd say that working what's in stock that way (staying on the same book?) might help. Say one day you buy ticket number 024 of Solid Gold
and the next time you go it's at 033, maybe chances are better you find a winner staying with that one. Boring but worth a try maybe?
