Yeah I know that's average per book. Just hurts. The only book I have ever bought was book of the 100X The Cash a couple years back. to this date this has been the BEST ticket i've ever played in the past 7 years of playing scratchies ( I'm 28 now). I got a return of about $2900. 2 1K winners, 1 500, and a couple of small wins. But i would never buy a book again. I just hear horror stories lol.
But you, Dracos, and Adam have the best freaking luck I have ever seen (way to go!!)! Since 100X the cash ended I havent really seen a good win. I did win $500 on SM and $500 on $10 Lucky 4 Life a couple months back.. Since then a random $100 winner here and there but those don't get me excited anymore.
Anyways, good luck to you all!
@ Flmom - Thanks! I still can't believe I won that prize, especially after my long streak of nothing over $200. My luck changed very quickly recently, haha. I feel very blessed, and was able to pay off all loans and spoil family big time this year. Nice to bump into someone else who lives in Gville on here. :) Sorry to hear you didn't hit anything this time at AK, which games do you play normally? The people at AK Kik are amazing. I've talked the owners many times, and they genuinely care about their customers. They are also extremely honest people, and the fact that they're willing to allow people to reserve books or hold them aside is something I deeply respect them for.
@ Pikachu, wow. $2.9k return on one book? That's incredible luck. You're really smart for not repeating that because you're absolutely right that the likelihood of finding another book like that is slim. Does anyone know the exact minimum payout on a $25 game? I've heard $335. That would be disgusting to get after dropping $1000. You're not that much older than me, I'm 24 and been playing scratchoffs for almost 1 year now. I've tried the $20 Lucky For Life, and that ticket has been the exact opposite for me. I've encountered 12 losers in a row on that game before, which in my opinion should be criminal. If you play $10 games, maybe consider the e $10 2,000,000 Jackpot game. It is 99% sold through with 1 jackpot remaining, although there are chances the final jackpot ticket has been lost/destroyed. Still, if it is out there the odds of hitting it is substantially better than anything else given how few books are available.
@ Skeptic and BKE - Congratz to you both on the $500 hits on Gold Rush!

Any SM or 2MJ updates? Surprised no one has been hitting any of those rolls.
I played through several rolls within the last two weeks, nothing exciting or worth mentioning of a report. Total number across the state is probably about 70 active, and maybe 150-200 listed as "received". Most of the places listed as received don't have it in stock, and a good number of those rolls listed as active are in ranges too low for where we would expect the last JP.
I asked for a list of 2MJ across the state, I'll share as soon as I have numbers on those. 2MJ seems even more scarce than Super Millions at this point. The number of prizes remaining on the instant liability report versus number of books is extremely alarming. There should be 3k+ books left of 2MJ, but in all likelihood there's probably less than 100 across the state.

I hated that LFL ticket. I've never seen it at too many places, except the Shell at Tower Rd & Archer Rd in Gainesville. They always seem to have it in stock. I've never won a single prize off of that ticket though.
Honestly if I ever win a $500 or $1K prize on a scratch-off, I'm not sure what I'll do with myself. Those wins have alluded me like the plague

See what I said? Like a bloodhound for 500s.
And those LFL tickets have gotta be nearing the point of needing a Dremel to scratch.
LMAO !! You're a funny guy MrGray ..... I actually marinated it overnight in flaxseed oil ..... before putting the blade to it ..... kinda messy but it works.

So I just left publix from getting myself a bottle of wine and I saw that they're coming out with $2 I Love Lucy Scratch offs! They looked so cute! I wonder when they'll be coming out? Probably next Tuesday.

FOUND THE OLD LFL BOUGHT ONE AND "HO HO !!" -- got 3 DOUBLERS won a small "win all" .... not too shabby
The legend is back! Hitting $500s, and $100s again like nothing. I didn't think the $500 prize existed on that game. I've bought 12 of them in the past from the same roll, all duds. LFL can be a very rough game. Glad to see you've been doing very well lately.

Stopped at the Micanopy Chevron on the way home. Had $35 in pocket from wins last week. Played 1 $5 Holiday Millions, 1 $10 Holiday Millions, and 1 $20 Gold Rush Doubler. All Losers.

I feel your pain zz. Since I got in the panhandle last week for the holidays I won $10 off $5 HOliday Million and then nothing since. I played 3 more times while there and got a ticket in Lake City at a Chevron on my way back to central florida and lost. Well at least this Friday will start the December portion as I lost 17 playing in November. I'll tally my results at the end of December to see exactly how much I lost/gained playing all year in total. I did finally pick up a raffle ticket as well while in Lake City and hope it pays off for something come January. I think I'm one and done with the raffle. It was 201,000's tonight.

Morning all.
Anyone playing rolls of 10M Fortune?
I've been purchasing one 10M Fortune daily and one Gold Rush Doubler daily for a few weeks.
10M Fortune the most I have won back is $30, most losers
Gold Rush Doubler I either hit 10x $2 or losers
Both scratchers suck beyond imagination, but I keep trying hoping for a win seeing the advertised odds are good. I'm thinking the advertised odds are a scam at this point though.

Hey wbrightfl ..... just noticed we both joined LP August 2010 .... I also notice neither one of us won a million !!
That new doubler so far is crap ... but somehow I did manage to get one 500 on it so far.... and that's it ....like yours .. a bunch of $20's and lotsa losers ..... I get a kick when you get a 10X with $2 bucks under it ... I think the warm/hot rolls will be coming soon .... I like to think so anyway
