Hey MsBee18, believe it or not the two from this weekend were from a total of 4 tickets from 2 different machines on the same day. I rode my bicycle over to Merritt Island and stopped in the Publix there to get a bottle of water and essentially on an impulse bought 2 from the machine on the way out. #14 was a dud and #13 was the 10X $50. Later in the evening at my nearby Cocoa Beach Publix I drew another 2 from the machine there, and lo and behold one was the burst!!💥
Even with the burst I posted from last weekend in that case I bought the last 5 tickets in a book from the counter at my Publix and hit on ticket 002. Lol I still haven't played the 000 and 001...I've heard of $500 wins being very close in the game, or even back to back.
So, I've never bought a book of this game...I usually get from 2 to 5 at a time. Also, could be just a coincidence but it seems the majority of $500 wins I've got have been from among the lowest 1/3 rd of the book #s 000 to 019.
Good luck!!
Hey CAPE - still 'scratchin' my head over those two MADNESS wins you picked up - 2 tickets produced a 10X$50 ..... and the same night 2 tickets produced a BURST* ..... I think your bicycle has something to do with it ....... LOL
I got up off the couch earlier today and went out to PUBLIX and bought some MADNESS tickets, hoping to beat or at least duplicate your amazing feat but managed to only get one $500 .... 5X $100 (see pic below) ... Cape, you might be on to something about wins coming from #'s 000 to 019 .... mine is #015 ........
Got a feeling a new $20 scratcher is on the drawing board and will be out fairly soon ..... hope it's a stand alone with an imaginative win design

Hi there Skeptic, well for sure a 5X $100 will do you just as good as a 10X $50 or $500 Burst, so congrats on the nice $500 Madness win!!
I am still amazed at turning 3 $500 wins across a total of 9 tickets at separate occasions so close to one another, but with $500 wins on this game being 1/136 odds it's not too incredible. Lol I know it still doesn't touch the run you had on 5 or 10 consecutive ticket run a while ago...wasn't it like a few $K on back to back wins...trying to remember the game, maybe the old super millions??
Either way good to see you score a nice win and for sure hope to see some more!!

Hey Cape - I forgot the odds for MADNESS = 1/136 ...... that's one of the best for $500 is it not ? Waiting for you to post your next batch of wins - from what game ?
That run I has was on the old 100X - think it was a $25 ticket ? What I had was a once in a lifetime streak - out of 7 or 8 consecutive tickets off a roll I got two $1K's and three $500's !!!! The gal/clerk at the Sunoco station on south 41 in Sarasota now a Shell station and they don't sell lottery tickets any more ..... her eye's popped out of her head when she saw the wins ( I scratched them in the car and went back in to show her and her boss) She still works there part time and is my witness if any one thinks it's baloney ..... there were about 5 or 6 tickets left on the roll so I bought them - they turned out to all be duds. I still have the cash in ticket receipt for $2K from the District Lottery store, date shown.
I've hit back to back $500's two times on the early first issue $20 Gold Rush ...... you don't know what's in a roll and if you only buy one or two you'll never get a HOT HOT streak ..... to each his own on buying tickets by the roll or one or 10 ....... I read where a few $1M and bigger wins were said to be from buying just one ticket or the first time she/he ever played and won ...... makes me wonder ......
If I was $$ flush I'd buy rolls after rolls ..... might lose my shirt but a big win in a roll would be mine ..... There were a couple regulars on here a while back - one guy bought rolls and I think he got one for $2 or 3M ........ Dracos, who used to be a regular got a $100K from Super Millions - those wins were posted on here I believe ....

Hi Karma22, welcome to the group!! Congrats on the three in a row win and hope some BIG ZEROS were involved, but even if not then three in a row is still very nice! 👍🏻💰
Posting pics here can, from what I understand, be done a couple ways. Some members subscribe to a premium level and I think that conveys the ability to post pics directly. Other, without premium membership (me included) use an image hosting site (like post image.org). Once you establish the image there the linked url can be posted using the icon in the thread header that looks like a rectangle with a mountain in it.
Posting-wise if you hit any snags feel free to shout!

Congrats on your wins Skeptic and Cape. I tried the 500 madness a few times last year but it's not my game lol. I've been sticking with the week for life games since they came out and do the most winning on the $10 game which equals my money back or $20 lol. I have a feeling the new $20 game will be another $10k a week for life game that comes out. I also feel there will be another ticket entry associated with the game when it does so I'm keeping all my losers for now.

Yep Skeptic, that was for sure an epic run!!
I understand there's a few new games around the corner, so to speak; another crossword and $10 number match game among others...sure would be nice to see more variety one day!!
I've not any wins to stop the press lately , lol, just a couple $100s.

Hi Speeddmon, I've been playing the new WFL series some, mostly the $10 and $5 version. Most I've hit so far was $100 on the $10 version. I agree there's bound to be a $20 version coming out. Good point about the potential for a second choice, will be interesting for sure to see if that materializes, esp since the new Gold Rush series second chance run throughout this year. Also, speaking of the GR second chance, anyone saving up tickets to all load into a single drawing? I've not entered any in several months, figure esp since entries have been slumping some I might have better luck lumping all my duds together.

Hi CAPE - you mentioned GR 'second chance' - saving up tickets to all load into a single drawing'........
Here's some info I received from Fl Lottery ...................the winners grid from Fl Lottery shows # of points entered for each winning prize level ..... they range from the low of 53 entry points all the way to 130K !! Also consider the total number of entries Fl Lottery receives for each draw date - 55M to 97M ........
Looks like regardless how many tickets you enter does it boil down to pure luck ? .........what logic or strategy - if any- can you apply and use for 2nd drawings ? Heck if I know ..... enter every day twice a day ?
CAPE I hope you knock it out of the ball park with your 2nd chance entries !!!
I'm dying for a new $20 or $25 ticket ........ someone said the Lottery was going to introduce a $50 scratcher ?? Good or Bad ?

NEW GAMES ALERT!!
tic-tac-toe $1 game; 8-Ball theme $2 game; a $3 and $5 Crossword; AND a $10 Storm game that has a progressive Jackpot AND no bull$hit multipliers!!
Yes, the minimum win symbol on the new $10 game is $10...so, a 2X, 5X, or 10X will be that value times the multiplier. Such a breath of fresh air, just remember, don't complain about fewer multiplier symbols, lol!!...I have a feeling this will be popular!!
