BIG JIM hit a $500 on the $25 Fl Cash - he only buys one ticket a day. Seems like the $25 Fl Cash wins are picking up finally. Steve the midget hit a $400 yesterday. I went out this morning to my fav Publix - picked up ten $25 Fl Cash - got this $500 and a mess of $25's and $30's - wound up with $780.

What the heck is wrong with the Florida Lottery! I used to be able to buy a bunch of $10 and $20 scratchers and hit at least something on half the tickets. Now it's more losers than anything.
This morning's purchases:
4 x $25 Florida Cash - all losers
4 x $20 Gold Rush - al losers
4 x $10 $5,000 W4L - all losers
4 x $10 10x The Cash - won $10, then 3 losers
6 x $5 2,500 W4L - won $5, $5, then 4 losers
Seems to be getting worse. They need to fire whoever runs it.

Had to fill up yesterday. Went to BP on Archer Road in Gainesville across from the Bartram and next to Jimmy Johns. They ran out of 100X awhile back.
However, I went inside to pay for gas with cash since there seems to be a bunch of skimmers running rampant around these parts.
There was a guy playing $5 Gold Rush. I saw him buy 1 at a time over 3-4 tickets. When I went in to get my change I saw him again. He kept scratching outside in his car and coming back in. I don't know if this was good lotto-ettiquette or not but I asked the clerk for the next ticket $5 Gold Rush on the roll since it looked like he hadn't won anything. Scratched it there and won $10 which it looks like might have been better than anything the other guy got. It was #54 so near the end of the roll.

When are we getting new $20 tics. I was told new $25 tics in July.
That is a good question. They are overdue for a new $20 game. The Flamingo Fortune is out of top prizes, the old $3M monopoly is out of top prizes (and impossible to find anyways), the $200K/Yr for Life is old but still active with a few top prizes and Super Millions is getting old but still has 3 top prizes. Even the new $3M monopoly game only has 1 top prize and 2 $500K prizes left. The $600M Gold Rush is not old just yet, but they have run through 6 of the 10 top prizes. I bet they will just reorder those.
I would be surprised if they released another $25 game only because they just released the Florida Cash game. But I guess it's possible.
In any event, I got creamed really bad today. I found the last of the places in Jacksonville that still had the 100X and most were on the last 6-8 tickets on the roll. So I spent about $600 today and won a total of $200. It was not unusual to buy the last 6 tickets in the roll and they would all be losers. Then I went somewhere else and bought the last 8 in the roll and won $40 on one ticket and the rest were losers. Multiply that experience a few times and that is how the day went.

I hope everyone's luck picks up again soon.
So all the Jax locations are out based on your info? What about the lotto office?
To the best of my knowledge the Micanopy Chevron and Sunoco stations still have them.
Sal's Liquors (Kwik Stop) is on Number 20 or so. I know 9-13 were losers because I bought them. When I went back they were on 15 and then a day later 18. I think the roll number is posted earlier for that. What were the roll numbers of the ones you scratched off?
I still think there could be top prizes there. Some of these locations (especially liquor stores or general stores) don't sell very much.
There's one convenience store I totally missed because it's hard to spot it from the intersection. It's in Marion County on the corner of Cty Rd 225A and CR 326 across from the Phillips Food Store, but it's connected to a Porter Paints lumber yard or something and closes at 5pm and has the entrance closed off by a gate. I tried going Friday but they were already closed. Looking online it's called "Gilberts Hardware and General Store" or something like that. Do they happen to be on the list?
Another place that might have them is down in Osceola County at the Keanesville Citgo on the corner of US 441 / Canoe Creek Road which is probably the most rural and isolated area in the state. The only people that come through there are the migrant workers from the fields since it's the only store in a 30+ mile radius (other than Yeehaw Junction about 12 miles south), and possible truckers trying to avoid Turnpike tolls but 441 has some notorious speed traps. Can't see too many customers of 100X there, but I was only there once and that was back in December.
