STEVE the midget called me this morning and said he felt lucky...... he coaxed me into going with him to buy a BUNCH of $25 tickets.
WHAT A MISTAKE !!!!! We hit 6 different favorite places ........ went thru dozens and dozens of tickets. Must have laid out $3K between us.
Results: ONE ..... I said ONE $100 ticket. the rest were all the crappy $25's , $30's and a few $40's ......... these were book numbers for $10M in the 700 - 790 range
235, 280, 260 range for $10M CLASS.
I had a nice run April- beginning of May .. these were from the LOW number books that came out at the start. I heard that sometimes the Lottery dumps HOT books at the beginning of a game to hook you - then they scale back and put out junkers. I realize that games with large total payoffs can run 4 to 5 years and longer. That means the balance of decent winning tickets can hard to find because they have to be spread out over the life of the game.
I will not be buying anymore tickets for a while. Maybe one or two here and there. Of course there will always be the exception.
on a different note: Several of us, in the past, asked Fl Lottery if they would print lower tier prizes remaining instead of only top prizes. Their answers avoided the question and we sent boiler plate replies thanking us for playing scratchoffs.
I think there a lot of states that show lower tier prizes left. Why not Florida.
Hope I'll see another decent winner soon.
