That is a strange prize structure, I didn't scratch the other areas to see how that game pays, first time I ever played it. I'm not a fan of NY tix, this was a fluke.
lol they can be rough on a break now - think is 1 in 6 or 7 thousand for $400 know for $80 is 1:190 and $300 is 1:2k and change
they do that probably because they don't put anything less than 5 under the multipliers - have gotten a 10x on this game w $8 underneath (there also an $8 prize on this game)

Had to goto the hospital for an MRI today and knew there was a gas station next door I never got tickets from. Was going to play $100 but then decided on a machine challenge. I got one of each.. Added another $20 to end a roll and $3 ticket to make an even $200. On the way home I scratched the $5 Bingo and 2-$3 bingo/crossword tickets to scan at a self checker
4-$1 tickets paid $4
3-$2 tickets paid $2
5-$3 tickets paid $10 (the bingos crosswords paid $20 and $10. forget which was which, so I will put the $10 here and the $20 on the 5's)
5-$5 paid $30
4-$10 tickets paid $40
4-$20 tickets paid $90
1-$0 ticket lost
The $30 in Bingo/Crosswords I cashed and got a $30 ticket that won $30
Spent $200, paid back $176
All in all not bad. New $20 fever had a fever symbol for $50. otherwise most other wins were face value.

I was happy with the 1st one that I went for another. I haven't been to Sheetz in weeks. Asked a girl out and got turned down, so I was embarrassed to go back.lol Anyway, I decide to do another with their automated machine,. There were 2 buttons for the new Fever tix which did give me consecutive tickets, not from different slots.
I won't bother with the breakdowns. I cashed my initial ones for a voucher. Decided to keep that and play more with my money. This machine challenge was well worth it.
The 2nd Fever ticket hit $200
The $10 Frenzy had a match. I saw a big 0. then I saw another and another. ended up with 5 matched and I thought $500, but turned out to be $1000.. Sheetz is where I use to spend 2nd most of my lottery, so nice I can chalk up $1000 there now to go with my primary
Paid back $1321 on the same $200 amount.. Original challenge ended up being $169(double a prize I shouldn't and missed a$3).. That means $400 spent and $1490 return. Not too shabby....

Nice Omiller, what number was that $1000 hit on the Frenzy? I might dive back into those $10 Frenzys tomorrow since the $5 Frenzys are all gone in my area. Maybe I'll try that machine challenge also, I've seen a few locals do that and make out well.

Thanks. it was 043. Fever ticket was 010...I have done them here and there and they are fun, since I get tickets I wouldn't normally buy. I see you win on all those $2 tickets and such, that I keep thinking there is a market that I generally don't play..

Thanks for telling me the ticket number, it seems the majority of the $1000's are above ticket 40 on that game. The $2 tickets are tough to find good winners besides the $2 Frenzy which seems to have 1 $100 winner in every book. Funny I love the $2 Frenzy but everyone I know who plays them hates them cause all they get is free tickets. I've been real lucky with that game.

What exactly is the lottery machine challenge? Is it when you buy one of each ticket from a machine all at once?

Thank you for posting that. I always wanted to see a BIG symbol. Nice PA got rid of the Win All for $100 on $20 tickets. $250 should be the minimum on those. However it still annoys me to see $10 prizes on a $20 ticket.

I stopped at a different store today looking for $5 Frenzys, none to be found so I put a $10 in the machine to see what number the $10 Frenzys were at and hit the winall for $100

Nice win. I stopped back at Sheetz to cash my tickets for a voucher. Makes it easier tomorrow to get cash from next to work. Only played $26 since my amount was $326.. I got home and Monopoly was 28. Wish I saw it at the store, so I could have ended the roll. Yeah well. I can't complain with this weekend. the $26 worth of tix lost.

Well I waited for a new book of $5 Frenzys to come in, this book was paying out so bad I had to stay in it but I did hit the $500 finally on ticket 49, up to that point it only paid out $55.
