I took a beating today on 3 random books each from a different location...
Book 1 - 200m Jackpot - Paid back $405. Not terrible, would have been better of stopping after this one...
Book 2 - $20, 600m Goldrush - Paid back $245. I NEVER buy books of $20 tickets. Maybe have done it 2 other times in my life. The payback sucked, but what was worse was the highest win was $40. That, to me, on a $20 ticket game is absurd.
Book 3 - $10 Monopoly - Paid back $275. This is one of the worst returns I have gotten on a book of $10 tickets. I am almost ALWAYS over 300 return.
Something else I thought I would share with you guys that I found interesting...... When I went to AK on Sat, I talked to the older man working there for a while and questioned how he gets so many books that no one else has...
This is how he explained it to me...
He says - When we want a game like Holiday Gifts, I tell my rep I want 20 books of it, and he is able to check every location with that ticket in the state. He can pull the books from other stores inventory and have them shipped to me.
So, my thinking is that since he had something like 22 books of that game when I was there, that I wouldnt be surprised if the 4 books that were taken from the store that I won at, earlier in the day, ended up at his store.
He also told me that in the last 2 weeks he has had people buy.... 30 books at one time, 20 books at one time, and 10 books at one time on "several occasions"
That is a LOT of books and a TON of money rolling through that place. I bet when the home office see's the sales of this store, the lottery rep for that area can get what he wants, from wherever he wants, when he wants it.......
