Well 200MS sucks. I bought the last roll in Jacksonville, and the return rate was absolutely horrible. I'm done chasing $10 Holiday Gifts/50X, and sure as hell done touching 200MS. I think the lottery personally goes into stores to remove good rolls on scarce games, and ensures that duds/medium returns and the occasional book with a $500 or $1k winner stick around in order to continue to generate revenue. There's too much game manipulation, and distribution bias with the Florida Lottery. The lack of consistency, and transparency is appalling. I'm done with scratchoff tickets. It has been a fun ten months with uphill and downhill streaks. Thankfully, my recent splurge is only going to be a minor setback. I'm going to stop playing because the lack of big hits just aren't there anymore, and I'd be better off saving. When I first started playing I used to hit $100/$500 often, and even hit $1k twice this year. I'll still pop in to offer you guys support, but you wont be seeing any pictures/posts from me about buying tickets. I'm going to deposit the "winnings" from this book tomorrow into my bank account.

Total return : $195 (WTF) or - $405 from this purchase.
14/60 tickets winners . Odds 1 in 4.1 (game odds are 1 in 3.58)
I was thinking after the large dud streaks in the beginning "Oh, maybe the end of the roll will be hot or at least offer have a $100 winner since the odds are 1 in 69 for this game." Not a single winner over $20 from this book. A disgusting return on a $600 investment, perhaps worse than a bad $5 book. Perhaps worse than a $2 book in terms of return percentage. (Okay, the $2 book might be a hyperbole)
@ Zzplay - Thanks for the update, and glad you and your mom got some returns from AK Kwik today. I appreciate the info, but I think I'm done with scratchoffs. Maybe I will see you around UF sometime when I move to Gville? =)
@ Duckman - For sure, there's tons of police officers camped out on that road. I got my first ticket in my life in Clay County. I think Clay County officers aggressively look to give people tickets because there's nothing else to do.
@ Old Ghost/MrGray- Hahaha. Adam's probably quiet because he hit another jackpot. Perhaps this time it was the $20 Flamingo.
