Just an interesting tid bit... Alot of stores in the Pensacola area are sold out of the 10k a week for life. Looks like the are moving thru a ton of Misfortunes in attempt to blow them out.. SO I would expect a ton of 10k a week to hit the shelves in the next coming two weeks.... Probably second round of tickets....

It isn't often that I have a profitable day with scratchers. I got these from AK Kwik Stop in Gainesville. Spent $610, ended up getting a $1,225 return. Ended the day only ahead about $260 after reinvesting in more minimum payouts. Most of my losing tickets come from the 10k Week for Life game, which has been worse than Misfortune for me. Misfortune is up to 698k, and 600M Gold Rush 219x. This is my first $500 win on 600M Gold Rush since 2016, which is crazy considering how many of these I've bought.

GRATZ !! Glad you finally got a $500 GOLD RUSH - according to the latest report there are a bunch of good wins available.
Good GOING ... I havn't bought any tickets recently - waiting for the 100X -

LOL I wish I had something to post! I got those two $100 right in a row which was kinda neat! But other then that nothing neat well maybe the $100 I just won on cashword.....
But i will say book numbers around pensacola have been meh since ALOT of places are totally sold out... which feels like a lot of playing happening in that game or they are blowing out other tickets and not shipping 10ks out... ( went to a store today and saw that the gold rush doubler there had a $500 payout, so those seem to be flowing)
the $5k was pure luck just bought two off the end of the roll. The $500s kinda the same thing.
Now im trying to get a larger sample size for another idea with scratch offs. But idk if I should keep on this game or go over to the 100x when it comes out....

just saw STEVE the midget buying gas at my fav SUNOCO - showed me TWO $500's - a $20 old GOLD RUSH - and $10,000 A WEEK FOR LIFE he picked up today ..... was tight lipped about where he got them and how many he bought ....... STEVE and BIG JIM were good buds and since BIG JIM died after winning that $500K and spending only about $20K - BIG JIM was single and had no other family members except (a sister druggie) who got whatever he had - STEVE has been very quiet since then..... he would call me and shoot the breeze and now - nothing.
BIG JIM age 39 was found dead on the sidewalk in front of his condo - a few months after his win - never had any health issues - too bad he couldn't enjoy his winnings .....
It's nice to have a will (just in case) so you can direct who gets what when you die .... not pleasant to talk about but important

I had a pretty good day yesterday. Picked up two good winners. The Powerball surprised me more than anything because of the crazy odds to win anything decent.

Thanks skeptic. That is the first time I've ever got the star so better late than never. Also, the PB was a QP and I was pretty shocked. Part of me was just like, "one more number...".
On a side note, if the $10M prize in the Misfortune is not won before the new 100X is released later this month, I think the lotto reps are going to be taking the $25 Misfortune off the shelves to make room for the 100X ticket. Who knows how many prizes (including $1M and $10M) will be destroyed when that happens. Right now, I've seen roll numbers as high as 891XXX. I assume the last $10M prize will be won soon.
I think this is what happened to the $2 L4L. There are 4 top prizes left but I remember that Publix pulled them out of the machines and from behind the counter when the $2 holiday ticket came out. I wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 top prizes were destroyed this way.

Gators - Congratz on the $1k on Misfortune, but really...the $500 on Powerball is far more impressive! (4/5 numbers of 1 in 1:36,525.17 odds, WOW). You were one of 51 people across the country to hit 4/5 numbers. That puts things into perspective, for sure. How were you feeling when you were checking your numbers and discovered you had almost all of them?
I agree with you about the 10M Misfortune prize remaining likely being "skewed" if the top prizes aren't found soon. I've found book numbers up to the 898k range here in Gainesville (At AK Kwik Stop).
In regards to the $2 LFL, I agree with you. All the other LFL games are at 1/4 top prizes remaining. Another game that I think may have fallen victim to this is the $5 Holiday Cash game. With 2/8 prizes remaining, it is another suspect for having top prizes destroyed. Usually the $5 Holiday game sells out well before the $10 game. In this case, 25% top prizes remaining is a little suspicious. I've played both of these games regardless, to no avail of course.
