Those free tickets are a thorn in the side. I got 10 Whole Lotta 100's #'s 112 - 121 and every other ticket
was a free ticket....how is that possible? That's BS. I found a green 7 on the 7up #003 and it won a big $7.
Incredible. That's the 2nd or 3rd time I got a green 7 and had that happen. ($7 total)
I don't know how the new $2 tickets are doing, I purposely stayed away from them considering the smack
in the face they presented us with on Whole Lotta 100's and 7ups. I know there have been some $100
winners reported but I haven't run across them.
The Pure Gold have returned to insulting payouts...$10 gold bars and that's about it. Lucky to find a play
field that produces anything when a gold bar is present...if you do, it's another $10 to match the pathetic
bonus area payout.
I did find a Cherry Slots ticket #001 for $50 and was shocked actually...I thought it read: $5 like they nor-
mally do. The bill signs are designed so people miss them, I'm convinced of that.
I tried the new $5 tickets - Hot $100,000's - found a dollar sign on ticket #000 and won $5 - at least PA
can't be blamed for being non-typical. My eyes aren't too bad but the symbols get smaller and smaller
it seems....I haven't found the moneybag yet but looks to me it could pass for the pineapple...and get
tossed.
I'm not complaining, I'm relating. To those players who consistently find little or no wins, it is defeating.
I could be my own thread when it comes to instant tickets, I play enough of them and know what I'm
talking about when I say the game has drastically changed. They can't wait to bring on the new ones but
the trouble is, for the last 4 releases now, they've been BOMBS. The good old days of excitement over
new releases is definitely a thing of the past. They stink..stinky payouts, bigger gaps, larger odds, decep-
tive games...you really have to be careful you don't throw a winner away.
Cash Fever dried up...the normal payout now is $20...$40 if you get lucky. They used to be the best
tickets around here and my favorite too. $100 winners were common, now they're nearly extinct.
I found 2 $100 winners on the 20x the Money in a few days or so....they were the same type: 4 winning
spots for $25 each - total $100. If I have to rank the ticket that you can count on, it is those. I've noticed
an increase in the past week of winners on all tickets...it was the 2 weeks BEFORE that where ALL the
tickets were crappy. Hopefully there's a real turnaround and the better results of the past week continue.
I also found a Big Winner Spectacular that matched 10 spots but the win was $50...see the trend? That
one was ticket #061 but it wasn't the $100 win for 10 spots as in the past.
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but just thought I'd report things are changing lately again.
You have to decide to hang in there or hang it up for awhile. I know some have said they're quitting and
that might be the best route for awhile....or at least cutting down. I think I would definitely stay away
from the new games. They are about as good as the old ones....there isn't anything special about them
as far as winning more goes....PA just doesn't seem to do that anymore. It's a shame too.
