Purchasing an entire book of 500X the Cash will net an average loss of $300. Tried it several times without popping a claimer. These books usually have the winners stacked together like three or four tickets in a row. Another strange occurrence are top prize winning tickets never come with a multiplier or bonus. So, if you hit the bonus. It's never going to be in the million plus range. This information is validated via you-tube. However, my access level prevents me from posting or linking any outside material to the board.

Hi Skeptic, nice hit on one of the BONUS spots for $500 on the 500X!! I know you are due for some more nice wins on this game and for sure hope they head your way soon!!
I agree on the Madness...been too long since I hit a $500, but just the same nice work on scoring the Hundro!!

Hi Cyber, I think I recall watching a stream in which a guy hit like 4 in a row with a book of 500X the first week it came out. I've hit 2 in a row a couple times but admit I've never done a book.
You are correct on the $1M and $25M Prize level wins...they are going to be single spot number matches only. That's actually very common with top prizes in FL scratch offs. In fact in previous Multiplier series it's been the same, as well as with the recent $30 FRM (heavy with multipliers at all levels except none at $100K or $1M). The 500X is though heavy with multipliers at the $50K and below win levels.
Either way hope to see you post some great wins here!

Hi Skeptic,
Nice wins and nice scratch work love how it's slightly slanted in revealing your numbers, its better than most art. First time is always nice definitely not your last. Hope more is coming your way soon!

Betcha CAPE will be the first one posting $500 and hopefully higher .... I'm done with this game ......

Good Luck to everyone !
Congrats on the win. I have one $20 ticket to try today as well. Since there is a bonus promotion attached I already know to expect A LOT of losers with this game. I think I'll just stick with the $20 tickets to curb my enthusiasm though. I still think the $20 Gold Rush Limited is the safest bet if you want to win the million or more jackpot.

Hey Skeptic, sounds like this latest version is about as brutal as previous ones...with a single Hundro among 40 or so tickets, ugh.
Ive not tried this game yet...left FL early Sat the 2nd for cruise out of Seattle and plan to be back in FL by Tuesday. If I play this game I'm gonna start off light.
Hope your luck turns up for the next round, no matter the ticket!!

I had to take a trip to Altamonte because my Struck by Luck claimer was expiring.
As it is, I played 5 500X and dang if not one was a single winner!! After a quick dip in the pool I grabbed the next five and Lo & Behold scored a nice win!!! Best of luck, everyone!!!

There's only 47 locations in Florida with the $30 Fastest Road to BANKRUPTCY game remaining, and still 7/155 prizes of $1M unclaimed. I consider 7 to be a pretty significant number, and incredibly upsetting if the game ends up remaining with that many prizes "lost/discarded".
Here's the list of retailers, in case any of you want to hunt. Best of luck!

Hey DRACOS ! Good hearing from you and hope you are doing well !
I emailed FlLot several weeks ago asking who still has FRM available to buy in Sarasota/area - I was emailed a list with 11 places ..... NONE had any ! When I stopped by HURRICANE MIKES (it's on your list but the other places FlLot sent me are not) the gal said they havn't had any for over a month and couldn't order any - she said a lot of players asked her besides me ......ditto for the other places ... it seems when a scratcher gets down to around 18M +- left from say 900M +- out the gate ..... the game goes away ......I doubt FlLot would gave a straight answer ..... at least I never heard back after emailng them as to why .....and if I remember correctly a few scratchers were alive for 8 or 9 years ......that's a while back......so what's up ??

Take Care !!
Hey, long time no see! I hope you're doing well.
Yeah, when the new $50 game came out many retailers returned open books of the Fastest Road to BANKRUPTCY. When they phase out old tickets, and add new tickets this seems to be a common practice. Maybe Hurricane Mike's does have a book in the back? The lists they have provided have had inaccuracies in the past, so that doesn't surprise me. The lottery warehouse may have books of this game that they aren't sending out. Some retailers seem to have more "pull" with their reps and can request books that are normally difficult to find. Late game, their practices tend to get shadier. If 7 out of the 155 top prizes of $1M go unclaimed...that is unacceptable. I can understand 1 or 2, but for this game...7 seems a bit foul.

Yes, I personally don't think there's lots left to be had with game 1450. Even considering the occasional/few books that might have been pulled when 500X arrived, it's 99% sold (see $100 level)...and with the average $1M prize book # spread (1,400,000/155) being about 9 thousand or so books unless someone hits gold somehow stumbling upon an old book there's just not a lot meat on the bone.
I'm going to delve for a moment into the type of analyses I do for such things. This is abbreviated...but rests on the theory that people miss number matches and not symbols. Game 1450 wins involved many symbols, but they were not evenly distributed across win levels. Looking at % of pure number match per prize level here's the result (note: Game 1450 rule did not separately identify Money Bag wins separate from others).
So, what's interesting in the below is the single number matches at the highest levels ($20K and above), when compared to other $ levels for single # match show and underrepresented claim level. Thoughts?
