Yet another Money Money Millionaire loser! 1/10 on that one now. What is PA pulling here? I know the tickets are bad but I hardly ever have THAT much trouble with a new $20.
Better than me. I haven't won once on that ticket. Actually I can't tell you the last time I won ticket value on any ticket. I still grab here and there and haven't won in weeks. I will reiterate the earlier post. PA hit an ALL TIME LOW!!!!

Maybe in the near future payouts in PA will improve given the news I read about your lottery. Good luck.

I bought the last 2 $50 7.5 Mil Fortune tickets from Texaco (#019 - #020) and won $50 on #020.
Went to Exxon and bought one $50 ticket and won $70 on #003. Saw 2 $10 Super Weekly Grand in the trash (#001 and #002), bought #003 and won $20. Down $20 for the day.

Been' spending $60 a week for a few weeks now...putting $40 of it on scratchers. Yesterday, bought 4 Solid Gold ($5) and 4 20xTheCash. Won $50 on the Solid Gold and $10 on the 20x...so a $20 gain. A nice win (for my budget). Here in Tx, the 20x series has a surprisingly better prize spread than anything else. Only bought the Golds (but glad I did) because the machine ran out of 20x. Still recommend the 20x though.

Nice to see a TX player, welcome! Wife likes the Solid Gold too.

Thanks for the welcome. Brand new here, but don't know why it took me so long to find this site. ?? I know why some people don't play, but for those who might, I don't think they know what they're missing. Play light when you're cold, heavy when you're hot, and the $$ works out fine. Sometimes, more than fine.

I see they just posted a JP winner for 100X The Cash. Another run down gas station and also from San Antonio, surprise, surprise. Do they target these types of stores and same city all the time to win? I doubt that store showing in Google map can have the volume like the 7-Eleven here in Dallas which can sell about 5 packs a week. Of course these stores would never win.

I second that Omiller and Matt ..the new tickets are a joke and a half..PA is PA- thetic..(pathetic) ..you really only win the ticket price or none..those are your only choices in PA anymore..so now i only buy one now and then..
PA did it to themselves..
Good going everyone else that is winning...don't come to PA..

So how long have you been playing scratch off?
That's an interesting thought about location. The majority of the JP's do seem to come from down south, but I've always just figured they must buy a lot more tickets. Maybe not, though.
I think the first scratch I bought was back in Waco, sometime around '91. They had just put out the Weekly Grand $2 ticket, and I went hog wild with those. Was buying $20 a day for about two months. Lost overall, but did win $150 twice.
Over the years, I've gone through times where I played a lot, and then not at all. But I always buy some when the mood strikes. Worst story? Over three weeks, I bought twelve consecutive $50 tickets, and didn't win a single thing! (I can laugh about it now) Best story? I won $400 year before last on a $5 Double-Doubler. Still waiting for something in the thousand+ range.

But how about you? Any big wins or tough losses?
You bought 12 consectuve $50 tickets from the same roll? My worst loss is 5 $50 tickets in a row. The most we won is $500.
Today, I bought 3 $50 tickets and won $150 on the 3rd ticket.

I tried out 2 of the new $5 tickets out last night. I wanted to chase them until I got a winner which ended up with me buying 7 of $5 5X Cash Club to win $5 and I bought 4 of the $5 Deluxe Cash Crossword and lost on those. Someone bought the next won after me and won $10. <snip> that guy lol.
I bought 2 more of the $5 5X Cash Club this morning but someone had bought 3 or 4 after I had played last night so they probably got the winner since both of mine lost.
