So the $30 100x is now on the ending games list with last day to sell is April 03, 2020. Any chance one or both of the Jackpots get found? I recall Dracos mentioning how many tickets were left statewide a few weeks back I wonder what the inventory looks like now? Any thoughts?
Hi Kristoff10, I could for sure end up being proved wrong but I'd be surprised if one of the last two $1M prizes showed up at this point.
Prizes being claimed seems to have fallen sharply and I know this game is scarce in many areas. In fact one of my regular guys said the agent was trying to pick up his last few tickets as he was holding back 2 tickets on one book and 3 on another (btw still not sure what his angle is doing that), so if tickets are being swept up all around we may see this game end with those last two $1M prizes unclaimed.

Thanks for the reply, sadly i fear the same. I was talking to a store owner here in Orlando that has 2 new books of the game and he said he requested a couple more but the rep hasnt come thru with more of them for him. And usually he can get the scarce games.

So, it looks like the new $30 game is the same brand/theme as the one I posted from Mass a page or two back. This should be an interesting, and exciting game for people to play. I'm going to lay low until that game comes out. I haven't been lucky at all.
So, even though the last report on Power 5s showed two stores as having it across the state, I stumbled upon a store here in Hialeah today that had 7 Power 5 tickets. I went and bought the last 7. Sadly, only $10 back out of $35. It was exciting to buy, and scratch possibly the last Power 5 tickets available (since it ends in March) with 2/10 jackpots...

Hi Dracos, nice find getting several of the remaining Power 5s!...that must have been a great surprise to come across (and helped to have spent the evening - pic looks like from an Embassy, btw).
So everyone, studying the new $30 Fastest Road to $M in the ILR it looks like a really promising game! I ran a scenario against similar odds of the Mass game info Dracos had posted earlier and came up with the below (and posted respective info on the current $30 GRC at bottom for comparison):
Given prize counts from the ILR, if the new FRM game consisted of 350 Pools (1.4M books) it would produce the following odds/info, and notables:
-Overall odds would be about 1 in 2.79 (preserves typical Fl $30 money back/return odds of 1 in 6)
So, we'll soon see what the actual odds and prize structure are as we get closer to the game's release. In the meantime does anyone have any thoughts/insights on the above info/scenario?

Great job on this! I ran a similar project and we are both close. I think it’s safe to say that it will be in the mid 200s for the GP... your numbers point to it being favorable for $100 and $5000.... that’s interesting... I stopped at $1000... so this may be the only game to truly play soon IMO....

I talked to a bunch who play scratchers and they are waiting for the new $30 - saying they are willing to spend a lot in hopes of winning $1M - until the $1M prizes shrink to just a handful left - most are snowbirds with deep pockets - got a feeling there will be a huge amount sold right away - any thoughts CAPE - KILLERWILL - DRACOS ??

I stopped playing when I saw someone post about these tickets awhile ago. Sounds like the best odds in to win something big. I'm sure they're going to sell fast!
I'd just be interested to see what parts of Florida get the winning tickets and if it's spread out.

Hey Killerwill, thanks!...and good to hear our numbers are close. Of course we'll soon see how many pools/books there are and resulting odds. At 350 pools I'd like to think my scenario is on the high end since any much more will start to push the overall winning odds up closer to one in three, which I think would start to turn people off of the game.
It would be nice if there were a few less pools/books, like the $30 GRC at 324 pools, and get the odds for a $1M win closer to the likes of one in 250K or so.

Hi skeptic, yes I do think this game will see really strong sales! Looking at the ILR data I have to believe the Lotto is expecting good sales too, as to keep odds for lower prize levels in line with the $30 Fl games that have come before this one they'll have to start out with well north of a million books, like probably somewhere in the range of 1.2 to 1.4M. We could some weeks during which several $1M prizes are claimed. Also, unlike typical games where the top prizes get ahead of (or behind) the book count, this one has so many $1M prizes there will probably never be a "bad" time to play it (outside of as you mention if at the end of the game nearly all top prizes are gone). It's for sure no surprise folks are keeping their money off the table until this one comes out!!

Hey Brocksampson, for sure the $1M prize distribution will be good to see...hopefully it's spread out in a way that is equitable to everyone in the State!...of course time will tell...!

I know I’m waiting until the new $30... but I’ve gotten sick of no good wins or fun games....
ill gauge the odds to see if it’s worth a true chase... under 250k I think I’ll chase it hard. Over eh... will play but not super hard

I’m really excited to see the emergency rules on this one... it will determine how hard core I go on this game.. I just hope it’s good enough odds to be fun at the same time. Might as well have fun while giving the state money lol
