Thanks Gator. Glad Fla Lottery is on the ball as per usual!!
Also, Dracos had mentioned to buy the GR with the new map design, inferring that any of the remaining GP's would be on a ticket with the new design. I picked up a ticket last night with the old design, in range 181xxxx. Should we be buying in ranges well above 181xxxx then?
You can request the winning book numbers of the last 2-3 top prizes on the legacy Gold Rush game. This could help guide decision making when buying these tickets. There may be outstanding $100k prizes in those older ranges (1.7m-1.8m range), but since the top prize is every 4 million tickets on this game, I assume the most recent $3M prize claimed would fall within that older range and that we won't see another $3M hit on it for another 2-4 months. Email opengov@flalottery.com if you're interested in knowing what book number the most recent 2-3 $3M Gold Rush prizes came from. I don't know where the last $3M prize was claimed, so I can't advise a specific range. I just assumed the newer design tickets would likely be the ones to yield the final two $3M prizes partially due to the frequency of prizes from that game.
@ BuyLow - Based on sales, I was expecting 1-2 more $1M hits. We should at least $1M prize claimed weekly on this game due to the odds. It is selling like candy.
@ All - I'm refraining from scratchoffs for a while. I'd rather spend my money on Thai food. Plus, Super Millions has become too difficult to track down at this point. If AK Kwik gets another shipment, I'll play through it most likely. I'll wait for books to get filtered through there, otherwise I'm not wasting my time stopping by places to try to twist their arms and legs in order for them to activate their supposed books.
@ Markjo - If you're reading this ninja, can you pl0x tell us where you found that $10k winner on Super Millions? Also, do you know the book number on the ticket? Someone here will happily guide you through identifying that information if you're not familiar with it. There's the game number 1228 on the back and then the book number is the number following. For example 0723859 = book 723,859.

Potentially avoid Raceway on McIntosh Rd off I4 in Dover. Bought two Legacy GR losers. Before I scratched, I noticed that there was a very tiny scratch on both the tickets within the bar code region. Not sure if two tickets is really proof of fraud or not but, perhaps I may email Fla Lottery.

Sounds like microscratching to me. Most wouldn't notice so I would report it. That way the FL lottery can investigate and it will start a paper trail on that store.

2 --- $1,000,000.000 prizes claimed today. World Class Millions......
What were the roll numbers?
I think an interesting thing would be to keep track of the roll numbers at the start of the game because it will give an idea of how sequentially the game is going. We can also figure out when the lottery starts snatching tickets back and jackpots stop flowing. Like Dracos said, there should be 1 $1M weekly. There wasn't last week so two got claimed today.

@jasefan nice hit! Would have loved seeing one of those a while back. Early in the book too. A couple months ago I bought 7-9 at a Tom Thumb where I know the clerk. She said #18 hit for $400. That's been my luck on those.

I say stick with the $2 tickets, you seem to get $50 and $100 winners as often as the rest of us buying $20 and higher tickets. You lose less with $2 tickets, however. I haven't heard of anything big since the $400 winner on the $2 Gold Rush when it first came out. I did hear of a very hot $2 roll near where I live which had 3 $100 winners within the first 16 tickets.
What are your thoughts on the $2 Money Bag Multiplier? Does it generally suck? The odds being 1 in 482k at hitting the jackpot is incredible on a $2 game, and a nice $30k prize too. I almost wish they made it a $20k prize even more common to hit, and buffed the odds of hitting $50 or $100 a bit.

Played a few today and got my usual (didn't have my phone with me) where every other number matched the two numbers at the top (on the $2 Doubler) and of course all the prize spots were for only $1 for a total of $10 in winnings, ugh. Jasefan, nice win! I sure could have used that kind of a win right about now, lol

I've only bought a few of the Money Bag ... I hate it ... I never win on it

I didn't realize it till my buddy told me he has been collecting scratch-offs
since Florida came out with them and maybe collects 1 or 2 of each and
doesn't scratch them,and then he told me he knows a whole group of people
who does the same thing,My question is what is the impact this has on looking
for jackpots and what if one of them is a jackpot,I really don't know this but can
you scan the back of a ticket to tell if it's a winner,if you can I think I would check
before I collected any.Just a thought I had maybe I'm making something out of
nothing,then I found out he collects from every state imagine all the winners never collected,thx for listening.
