Great wins all! I'm hoping someday I'll be able to find a winner over $150.
Earlier this week I revisited Sal's Kwik Stop on SW 16th in Gainesville. He had 5 tickets of 100X remaining from a roll I had got skunked on earlier in the teens.

Terrible day.
Purchased:
6 x $25 Florida Cash (3 off 2 different rolls) = all losers
8 x $20 Gold Rush (4 off 2 different rolls) = won $20 twice, then 6 losers
6 x $10 $5,000W4L = won $10 3 times, then 3 losers. I had a 10x win for $1 on one scratcher which is insulting.
I feel your pain. This past week was pretty bad for me too. I pretty much bought up the 100X at any location in Jax that still had them. I had one $150 win, but otherwise bad luck. I must be down about $500 for the week. The good news is that since there are no more 100X, that will stop the losses....also, 10X on a $1 is crap. I actually get annoyed when I see the 10X symbol on the L4L game because I know a $1 will be under it and I have not been proven wrong yet.

Hey Gatorsrok,
Were you able to come up with an updated list of the state locations that still had 100X? My guess is they got to be wearing thin now.

Nice back to backs! I stopped at a store and they have the 100x game. I played through 6 or 7 of them, only 2 winners-- one of $25 and one of $30. It's almost like you think "Oh, they have 100x.... There's gotta be a top prize in there" but....nope!
The 10 dollar 50x game is hitting. After seeing a recent top prize claimed, I have been trying those. Got a $50 winner, $100 winner, and some $20 wins on those games the past couple days.

LOL - you're right OldSchool about 100 X - thinking g whiz they have some - the big one is probably in that roll !!
I can't find any where I'm at. Still kind of a mystery about that game - looks like the top and second top prizes are still out there and it's been - what - how long ago that someone won a big one on this game.
I have a feeling several top 100 X prizes are in the Miami area. Let's see what happens.

I put in the request over a week ago. I suspect they will email me the results sometime this week. I'll let you know when they do. I also asked for an updated instant liability report for the 100X just out of curiosity.

Heres my theory Luck, not that it means anything. I think good books are seeded heavy with winners, Skeptic has ran across such a book. and the other books suck. It simply makes management much easier. I am a firm believer in targeted distribution and what an easier way to get the winners into economically depressed areas. Simply look in jacksonville at where the big winners always yet randomly show up...normandy, lem turner, powers, 103, north phillips, main, pearl...

Hey LR !!
Over the years of buying scratchers I've narrowed it down to around 5 places where I'll buy tickets. For some reason these places produce winners. I have to rotate where I buy because the hot roll at the Sunoco station was last week and maybe not another there again for 3 or 4 weeks. The same with the three Publix, The other Sunoco and the one 7/11.
I have bought MANY tickets from dozens of other places in town - again over the years - and close by small villages and never won a <snip> thing. I have no idea why it works like that for me. But, as you all know, a big winner can come from buying one ticket from a place you never bought before.
You're right LONERANGER - good books are seeded with winners. One day a couple years ago on a Friday I bought into a Nugget and a couple 100's from ten GRT tickets. The owner said the UPS guy just delivered that roll. Friday was the delivery day for tickets. This town is pretty small - I drove around and found the UPS guy delivering tickets to a Publix - I ran inside and bought a book of GRT he just dropped off and asked where his next stops were. I bought a just delivered new book from the next 5 places he was at - when I scratched I found each book had either a Nugget or $500. One book had TWO Nuggets !!!! Total return from each book was like $800 to $14 or 15 hundred.
It's interesting to note that he most likely dropped off more than one GRT book at those places - but look what happened. I often thought - were ALL the books delivered that Friday HOT books ? OR did I just luck out ??
