Has anyone noticed on the $20 ticket, if you have a 408 or a 409 in the 500 spot it is pretty much going to be a losing ticket?
I have not paid attention to detail to that part even though I've scratched off more than 100 of those tickets. I probably will consider playing a little more of the $20 ticket now that another $10 California Gold Top Prize is off the table this morning.

I like the $20 game. I have hit $100 2xs, $50 2xs and $1k. Even though someone cashed in a TP just last week i think i will continue to play this game.
I do not like the $10 cal gold... I've bought about 20-30 tickets since that game came out and never won. not even a TICKET... Same goes for the Diamand.
I still buy the $10 LFL. Hit $50 on one yesterday.

Just a hunch, but I think $1M Fortune might put out another top prize before the game ends next month unless someone already won and it's in the claims process now.

I'm thinking the same thing on $1M Fortune, as well as for the other top tier prizes with that game.

There is just 1 more month from now before the $1 Million Fortune game ends. I think retailers are only selling exisitng supply and cannot order any more. We will not know who claims the top prize after the game ends as they remove the game from the webpage.

Here's a link to CA Lottery website that keep ended games online separate from current games. They only keep ended games where the claim deadline hasn't passed, about 6 months or so after they're pulled from the main scratchers page. The left column has the list of all recently ended games, the link below is for the $500K Riches game that just ended. I assume they keep prize count current, like the top prize, but not completely sure.

Yeah, the claim counts keep incrementing months after the end of game date, when the games are supposedly pulled from shelves. So that makes me wonder where all these latent claims are coming from...

I never knew about the End of Game pages on the website, I never got a direct link to those pages. If I browse any other page on the site I get an authentication window.
I checked out the CaLottery Twitter page and they have screenshots of the

Wow, CVS pharmacy. Sounds like a vending machine win.
Been looking for $1MF today. They are hard to find. Out of 10 places I visited, only one had any. One liquor store owner I talked with said you can't reorder them now, that everything is out there. 6 months to claim a prize after the game officially ends.

Got 2 $10 Gold and 2 $5 LFL from a gas station in Sunland last night..scratched this morning and one of the $10 was a winner with 10X on $2. This is first time I am winning something on the GOLD..Like someone mentioned, Gold seems like having so less winners.
