I give up on Gold Rush Limited ... when they first came out I immediately bought 2 books and tanked real bad ....biggest was a single $100 ....... total from each book around 270 and 240 ! ...... there's a lot of big prizes left according to the latest ILR .......and it's about half sold out ....... after laying low and not buying GRL for many months I thought maybe I'd have better luck last week ....ran through about 40 tickets from here and there ..... one $50 and just several $20's .... .....like Carlin would say "down the tubes" ...can't figure this game out - maybe the big winners are holed up in a warehouse somewhere ?? lol
We need a FRESH $30 and $20 scratcher ..... something more creative and fun to play ........ to start out the New Year ....dontcha think ??
Hope everyone has a Safe Merry Christmas !!
Haven't posted in a long time, and remembered this board now that I'm back buying more. And when I say more, I mean book .. thought the same thing, many prices still there, so I've bought Gold Rush limited a book at a time, from different locations, several Publix locations , one 7-11, one Winn Dixie .., think I got $500 in one ticket once, another book gave $200 in 2 separate tickets which gave out $490 total. But most have been 20s, some $100. I have bought several books but nothing more than that single $500. most books I end up under $300 others $350-390. Im thinking of stopping Gold rush limited now cause they are not giving out much despite the amount of prizes, just noticed today it has been out for over a year. Other times have bought a book of 500xs, most I got was total $1500 back, other books gave 600 at least total max which was disappointing to say the least so I stopped that one after a few busts like that.
anyone watched people on TikTok scratching books live? Entertaining while you scratch. From FL and other states.

Hey -Pants77, (and Skeptic) thanks for posting about your experiences with the $20 Gold Rush Limited, as indeed I find it completely uninspiring. Sure the winning odds of 1/2.65 looks favorable, but so many are simple $20 money back wins, and with $200 wins at 1/1,500, and higher $ wins even more slim odds this game is all about money back or hoping you're one of the 1/756,000 to hit a $1M. Even so, everything else being equal, I'll take 2 $50 500X tickets over 5 $20 GRL any day, as even corrected for price the $50 500X has best odds for a $1M hit.
Buying a 500X is though a risky proposition. Unless a claimer is hit a book really has to have 2 $500s to get into the break even range, and with odds for $500 being 1/48 a book can be generally expected to have 1, but slimmer odds for 2, or especially more.
I've not viewed live scratching on TikTok, but have on YouTube.
Either way hope you score some nice wins, and look forward to you sharing them here on the boards!! Good luck!!

Nice wins Cape! Looks like your proving that a B2B it worth the shot.
The new FL games for Dec. seems good. I like the name Diamond Mine, hope you win some big ones!
Thanks, Fun! The FL 500X is very hit and miss for sure. I can buy 5 or 6 and zilch, but then the two in a row like these. With win odds of 1/4.5 for a win it's not surprising they're a bit less frequent compared to other high denom games, but then again minimum win is a $100.
I too like the $10 Diamond Mine...I'm kinda surprised it's not been released as a family of games, since here in FL there's now been 3 different denominations of it; $5, $2, and now $10.

I agree. I started buying $5 scratch offs. Gold rush was my favorite at one time. Long ago lol. New games with real winners.
I am a magnet for divine abundance in the form of money, health and happiness! Sending love and light to all my beautiful souls.♥

WOW CAPE ! A ' trifecta' ........sure beats a pair ! CONGRATs !! Thought you were bluffing at first, couldn't see ticket #000 as a winner .... then after adjusting my new glasses I finally saw a match ...#74 ....... what was under it ?
OK .. BIG BOY ..... to stay on top you have to score a 'quadfecta' ...... when you do that I'll have Todd send you two front row tickets - for you and your squeeze ... to a game of your choice :) Anywhere ...
