I lost about $80 playing yesterday but this morning I bought 1 more Twisted Bingo (#13) which I had got 2 of yesterday and lost. It won $50 so I got some of the $ back.

Today I bought the lottery tickets for my work pool and we had a flush instant win ($50) and a three of a kind instant win ($5) on five card cash. So I split up the $9 among 6 people and got an extra Mega Millions ticket for the pool. That was cool and we've been pretty lucky so hopefully we hit some numbers when the drawing comes. I also bought a $5 Bingo Multiplier (#49) which won $20 and a $2 Hit 20,000 (#52) which won $5. After getting beat up a little yesterday I think I got almost what I lost back. So I think I will take a break for a while I think it will do me good.

I will admit I do occasionally buy scratch offs but they are brutal to my wallet. I would suggest to anyone buying scratch-offs to get their lotto fix, to try pick3 instead. Year or so ago, I started studying pick3 in SC and playing. It is much more gratifying to see numbers u pick hit and it is far less expensive. All it takes is 1 good hit and u are hooked on pick3 and u won't have that urge to play scratch offs. Just a suggestion if like me u realize u spend way too much on scratch offs.

I like some of the drawing games because you have to wait to see if you won anything and don't have that temptation to buy more immediately if you lose. I never had good luck on Pick3/Pick4 although I have not played that game much. I only won 1x and that was $40 on a .50 Box. I like the games 5 Card Cash and Multi-Match. 5 Card Cash has both an instant win and evening drawing on a ticket so it is somewhat more addictive than other number games.

Only have bought a couple tickets lately. #000 $20 Multiplier lost (noticed a pattern here, geez) and #059 Muscle Car Money also lost.

Well I won $40 tonight on Multiplier #028. The big ones are still really hard to find here, though. :/

Here's a good bank symbol win...

I've already had a bank for $100 total...with $5 under each spot...pffttt.

I believe omiller said he found one like that, I agree with the way he felt about it. The best 'win all' symbol

should be better than a secondary symbol (- gold bar - win $250)

Congrats on all the big hits.. Yes. I got the crummy $5 vault.. I been cutting back to $20 here or there with nothing but face value. Today I thought I would try some more and felt good about my purchases. I got $90 worth and walked away with $20. Things certainly haven't changed in my neck of the woods. Been over 2 months since the store owner next door hung up anything(usually $500+) I scratched my Muscle car today and saw 2-12's(I always scratch the game area 1st, just the #'s no prizes).. The other day I found an old ticket where all my #'s matched. I miss those days. When you see a whole ticket of matching #'s and know you might have hit something good or at least a symbol and just know it was a worthwhile ticket. they just don't seem to be in my neck of the woods. Hope to see a big one posted soon..

I have been taken to the cleaners the last week ! Can't hit anything ! All I have is one good story from today. I was at a Stop & Shop (Mass) buying the $30 and $20 tickets. Mostly 100X Multiplier as I bought 7 losers in a row and was chasing. I was buying a ticket, walking around the corner to a table, scratching them (discarding losers) and walking back to the machine. Next thing I know the customer service lady is digging through the trash looking at my tickets!!! I was like WTF ???? So Im on my eighth straight loser and go buy the next one and what do you know this clerk has the machine open looking at the ticket # of the Multiplier game!!!! She has the nerve to buy the next 2 and hustle back behind her counter. I was just so fed up with it all that I left. I would have said something but it would have gotten very awkward as I needed to break a hundo if I wanted to continue playing, as I would have had to ask her. I think its time for another long break for me!

2018 Biggest Win: $500 (multiple times but who cares about $500 right?)

All time Biggest Win: $4K ($5 Green & Gold)

Sorry to hear that, James. I can see how annoying that would be. And she works there! I think the most losers on $20 tickets I have had in a row is 6, but I am sure it goes higher.

Muscle Car Money seems to have back to back winners a lot. #030 won $5 and #031 won $25. But then I struck out from Giant. Muscle Car Money #050 lost and Golden Ticket #006 lost. Congrats to dr, but Golden Ticket doesn't do much for me.

I had a customer service lady do the same thing to me, except she bought losers and I got the winners. Now I won't scratch them in front of anybody

If the chances of winning the jackpot are so slim, why play when the jackpot is so small? Your chances never change, but the potential payoff does.
If a crystal ball showed you the future of the rest of your life, and in that future you will never win a jackpot, would you still play?

I bought 3 $3 Bonus Cashword yesterday (4-6) and #6 won $5. I also bought a $5 10X Bingo (#45) which lost. Today I wanted to try the 10X Bingo again so I bought #52 and #53 which both lost. Some old guy came in and bought a bunch of tickets and ended up buying the next 2 10X Bingo on the roll. So I bought the next won after that which was #56 and won $50. So he ended up saving me $10 most likely. As I left I bought 2 5 Card Cash Tickets and a $3 Cash Lines #12 which lost.

Happened to me at my Publix in Florida as well. This clerk would always swoop in in between my buys and just hawk the machine. Talked to the manager a few times and never saw that clerk there again. She was either transferred or fired. I just did not feel like wasting my time at a store I will never visit again.
