I know how you feel omiller, I just checked mine and they were all duds. This year I bought five tickets.
Last few drawings I've had usually 2-3 tickets and haven't even won a $100 prize on any of them. I bought
my dad two raffle tickets as a part of the stuff I got him for christmas, so I know my dad has six or seven of them
and I know my brother has one or two.... hopefully one of them hit at least a $100 on one of them. Would be nice
to get anything.
As far as scratchers go, they were big stinkers for me the last time I played. Played 18 or 19 tickets out of a new roll
of Peppermint Payout and got taken out behind the woodshed. Essentially gave back half of the $500 winnings I got
from a lucky ticket when the new $20 came out last week. Haven't bought any tickets since, dunno what my game
plan will be but I REALLY have to vow to never chase like that again. In the last few times I've chased the results
were poor. Most times I won little or nothing, and the time I did find a nice winner to wind up leaving ahead doesn't
even come close to covering for the chasing I've done since. It's really just not worth it. For how many losing $20's I've
seen in a row, I really and truthfully believe that you should never play more than 5 tickets in a row.
Congrats to those posting up the nice wins! Good luck to those playing!
