I understand about the Mom/Pop closing process for open books, but instead of destroying them, why don't they just take them to the Lottery Office for the District they were picked up in to be sold there? I mean if FL Lotto can't trust their own employees, who can they trust?
This destruction thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. So we're to believe no one at FL Lotto HQ has any idea where the Grand Prize rolls get shipped out? I can just imagine them sending as much as they can to stores on the brink of closing or losing their license just to be able to pull them back.
Well I have an idea. How about the FL Lotto create 1 scratch-off game where the only place to purchase it is from one of the 10 Lotto District Offices? Make it a $20 ticket.
Let's Print 3,000,000 tickets with 3 Grand Prizes of $5 Million. Each Lotto Office gets 10,000 rolls to start and can move them among each other as purchase traffic dictates.
If we did this could this be the best odds of all the prizes being claimed?
It just seems fishy when you think about all the 100X 1M and the 5M that was never claimed, 200 MS, 50X. Right now, I still hold out hope for SM and 2MJ because the we are at in the serial rolls where these final grand prizes would potentially be, but there's so much shennanigans going on with returned books and such, it really does seem that an older game with fewer books makes no better difference with the odds.
