This is not to put anybody's wins down - but just to show how wins can on rare occasions be bunched together - just look at KILLER"S recent 5 ticket win - incredible good luck.
I posted this a few times in the past with the tickets - on the OLD 100X - I bought I think it was 7 100X tickets from what was then a SUNOCO station - now a SHELL station..............anyway I went home with the tickets - here's what I scratched - two $1K's and three $500's from that 7 tickets bunch.
I never ever came anywhere close to duplicate that .......I wondered .. what was the rest of the roll like. So I went back and bought the few remaining tickets ... all duds.

It could have a printing error ??
Wow Skeptic what an epic 7 card pull that must have been!! I too for sure would have tried a few more from that roll...even if duds I know I’d always wonder if like you said it was a misprint or something

Has anyone else been playing the Old Yellow Lucky $200,000 for life,it's still some top prizes left and has good odds?
Woodro, hi I’ve been finding that game somewhat hard to find lately but usually play at least 5 when I come across them, mostly at mom and pop places and out of the way gas stations (I know 5 isn’t a lot for some folks around here but honestly with the $20+ tickets I don’t normally draw/pull more than 5 or so at a shot). I have done pretty decently on it though, winning a $500 last fall, and just two weekends ago got a $100 star and another decent win ($30 if I recall) on a 5 ticket pull. This past weekend I won on 3 out of 5 tickets - but have yet to uncover $ on each (waiting to scratch $ is just something I do sometimes). As terms of jackpots remaining I think I do recall reading here awhile back that the due to book counts and winner tickets some jackpots might have been lost/discarded.
Lol one amusing bonus I find about this game is the free entertainment had at times when I redeem a winning L4L at a mainstream place like Publix and the teenager there at the counter tries to scan it like can be done with all newer Fl scratch tickets, going through various episodes of bewilderment (no I don’t let them struggle for long and invariably will soon walk them through cashing it)

@ RISKY, DRACOS, KILLER, CAPE SCRATCHER, LUCKI and the rest of you who get ripped off with the $30 GRC or even the $20 GRC
I'm all DONE with scratchers - the LOTTO keeps coming out with BORING scratch and match a number. No imagination.
The prizes available on $30 GRC stinks !! Example: old $30 $600 MILLION HIGH ROLLER had OVER 2000 prizes of $20K - the $30 GRC has only 641 - hello ??
That game had 4 FOUR ways to win plus a FAST 100 BOX ......and it had a 2nd chance drawing - ONLY if you won $1K you could enter.
The number of entries was low because of this BUT your chances of winning were very high.
The current 2nd drawing lets any body with even a $1 GRC enter - the odds of winning with over 700K entries is over the top !
Plus the HIGH ROLLER had a $20K top prize.
Until the LOTTO comes out w/a $20, $25 or$30 ticket using some IMAGINATION and clever design that's FUN to play and not just a jerky scratch a matching number to win AND the stupid 10X with two bucks under it LOL ..... I'm on the side lines .... the smaller games with HIGH HIGH odds don't interest me
Hope someone on here wins a BIG one .....
GOOD LUCK !
Hey Skeptic,
I 100% agree with you that the Florida Lottery's creative team is downright laughable and seems to put out 3-4 new games every month with the same boring format of match-a-number. So much so, that I've turned to buying the $10 Crossword mainly and the old $2 Loteria when I can find any of those remaining in stores.
Having said that, I noticed last week on the ILR something peculiar and *gasp* dare I say, creative? It's GAME #1418: $50, $100 AND $500 BLOWOUT! and only has those three prize tiers so it seems like it's doing what I've always wanted them to do and that's offer a game which eliminates the top-heaviness of million-dollar prizes while also getting rid of the gazillion break-evens that water down every game out there. I don't even know if that's what they're doing but it's my cautious optimism that perhaps there'll be a game released that has attainable odds of winning $500 occasionally.
Has anyone else heard of this possible new game coming out next month? Anybody ever play something similar in the past in Florida or elsewhere and, if so, how much did a game like this cost? Because that's the one thing the ILR doesn't really tell you in this instance. Usually the first prize is break-even with the cost but I find it hard to believe this game will cost $50 with only a $500 top prize. Any ideas?

This is the relevant part of the ILR for the game since there's no data yet filled in on claimed/unclaimed prizes. But these are the prize tiers and how many winning tickets there are available once the game begins.
