hello from texas. i am new here. i have only recently started playing scratch-offs (maybe 3 months ago), so i haven't won anything huge but i've hit $100 on 4 different occasions. the best being on the $2 Money Match. the other 3 were on $20 tickets - $500mil Extreme Cash Blast, 20X Cash and $500 Million Frenzy. those were all won in 2 days but of course i blew all the money on more tickets. when i cashed in one of the tickets, some random guy in line asked if i wanted to go half and half on a $20 ticket and it was a $50 winner. bought a different one right after and won $70. we split the earnings lol, that was crazy.
when i won the $100 from the 20X Cash, i had bought 8 of the $10 10X Mega Money tickets in a row, losing on all of them. then i spent my last $20 on the 20X Cash and won $100. i was so pissed that i didn't originally buy the 20X Cash... but anyways, i go to that store the next day and the cashier tells me somebody won $10k on the 10X Mega Money that day... there was a reason i won that $100 and i didn't capitalize. that sucked really bad.
well anyways, i wanted to share my winnings from today. i've been on a dry spell lately but this past week i've been getting a little more lucky than usual. i went to the machine today because i knew it would be restocked since almost everything was out yesterday. there was like 6 fresh $5 packs. i start with $30 in $5 dollar bills, and in this order:
$5 - Gimme 5 (071) - Win $10 (i usually never start with a win so this was a good sign!)
$5 - Bingo Multi-Prize (028)- Win $15
$5 - Dallas Cowboys (073) - Lose $5
$5 - Dallas Cowboys (072)- Win $20
$5 - $75000 Cashword-O-Rama (071) - Win $5
$5 - Platinum Card (028)- Lose $5
spent $30, won $50. so i left up $20. the service desk was closed so i couldn't cash my winnings, which was probably a good thing. as soon as i saw all the 70's i knew i was gonna win. i usually bank on the first 5 cards. the bingos and crosswords are always good to me but i usually just scan them. the last choice was stupid but i picked it because it has the best odds.
i might go play the $50 ticket tomorrow if i'm feeling lucky
oh and i also played the Pick 3 tonight, 422, exact order. that's my birthday. the numbers came up 424. so close!!! ughhhh.
