can't believe it ------ here's another $500 -- with an odd combination ...
Wow Skeptic, I go away on vacation for a bit and you hit a nice hot streak, congrats!! For sure great to see a couple Gold Bars pop up, I'm still searching for one on the GRC, and yeah looks like you hit some combos I've not seen in a while, if at all!!
Great to hear from some of the folks who were more active in prior times - sure hope everyone is doing well!!

Congrats on the winners guys, keep it up! Does anyone know when the holiday tickets are coming out? I feel like they should be out before the end of October.

What are the chances if you win a $500 winner on a $5 low number ticket that there will be more winners in that pack? It was a $500 Loaded ticket.
That must be a loaded book. If you can spare the extra money buy the rest of the book. There's definitely more wins even if most of them are 5 and 10 dollars.

Thanks! I bought two tickets numbers 13 and 14 and won $520.
Hey Spaaaz, congrats on the $500, and for sure would be great to lay eyes on it since wins like that on a $5 game aren't seen here very often.
As for the rest of the book I'd go for it. If, as you say, you've played through #14, then there's 45 tickets left in the book (presuming the rest of the book from #15 to 59 is indeed available), so you're guaranteed to still come out ahead no matter what the rest of the book is comprised on win-wise.
Please do tell how things turn out either way, and best of luck!

Hey Speeddmon, in the past they've usually come out the last Monday of October, which would mean next week. I'll try and do some checking around to see if this is indeed the case.
Presuming there will indeed be holiday games this year, it will be interesting to see if they are comprised of several non-associated games at price points up to $10 (like with 2020 last year) or a series of single theme games like in 2019 and several prior years.
Oh, also, if there's a Holiday second chance like the last several years I wonder if the recent $20 Gold Rush Limited will fill the $20 slot...might want to hang on to any duds from that game (I'm not playing it much anyways).
If I hear anything I'll for sure follow-up, best of luck!

Update: I came across the following this AM at a Winn-Dixie. Looks like holiday games are a week later than usual, coming out Mon Nov 1st. The $10 version will be another one like last year's was ($50/$100/$500 Blowout), and the new $20 GRL will be part of the second chance, so hold on to any duds you've got.

Fresh wins...never in a million years thought I'd see $500 on this game, but lo and behold, gal at Publix bless her clued me in that the book was new and hence at ticket #029, and BTW ticket 000 or 029 (and maybe 1-away 001 or 028) is the only way I'll play this game.
Also, the ticket #000 $100 win is notable for me since I've never before won anything yet on this game's bonus.

Best luck everyone!!
Hi CAPE ... CONGRATS on the $500 GRL win ...... with the lousy odds for a $500 ..... 1,600/1 you got lucky !! Maybe your idea of buying certain number tickets could pay off and I hope it does ..... not to throw cold water on your idea, I went through a shoe box of accumulated $500 wins and stacked up each ticket with wins ....every number ticket had about the same number of wins ... that's out of around 250 tickets ... but maybe GRL has a quirk that pays off with your picks ?? Will be waiting for more results !! And I hope it works ....
Looks like we are the only two running the show ... used to have many long term players posting almost daily ..... wonder what happened
I havn't bought any scratchers lately .. waiting and hoping Lottery comes out with a new $20 ticket with decent mid wins and similar $500 win odds like earlier GR's ....
I did buy a $3 LOTTO ticket and won $150 !! If I could do that everyday that's all I'd buy :) I was shocked when the clerk ran the ticket and I heard the chime ...and saw the win ....
Here's wishing all of you players who are left ... WIN A CLAIMER and post it !!

Thanks, Skeptic!! Indeed very good info about ticket numbers and real data...in the end I do truly think all odds at every book number has to be equal, otherwise it would be too easy to game things.
I too wish the thread here would be more active akin to prior years, but either way am glad the gaming exchange continues in the same valuable and informative way it's always been.
Here's the new Holiday tickets!!...best of luck!!!
