Looks like around 200-220 books of 1490 out there, along with 2k+ of the 1491 remaining. It would be insane for the $500 week for life game and/or $1000 week for life games to end with a final prize remaining. Can someone really miss a jackpot on a $1 or $2 scratchoff, or would "standard business practices" justify how with odds of 1 in 5,923,200 the final top prize just ended up being "discarded" or missed?

At any rate, people should we should find out soon enough if the game is going to end with an unclaimed top prize within the next several months...

Good update, Dracos, and I'd still play the $2 1491!

As others mentioned the last prize on 1490 has probably fallen victim to the usual FL Lottery shenanigans...discarded/lost/destroyed ticket, hence the game ending being announced.

So, what's folks thoughts on the 500X?...initial $25M prize popped at book #465K, and I now see books in the #1,600K range. I came across a store with a book in the #1,100K range and have been playing it some. Either way if the 2nd $25M on the 500X doesn't pop soon there's a good chance it might never do so. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know I'm a bit biased, but is not this Money Bag ideally balanced?!!

So I'm amazed...I recently got 2 of the ultra-rare $150 on the Madness. I admittedly 🤦🏻 missed the 2nd "25" on the one ticket, but it was another $50 spot 😊

Congrats Cape on the $500 and two $150 wins. You're on a roll. Here's one of mine from not too long ago. Biggest win yet on this game and tied for my biggest win ever.

Beautiful!

I'm glad you hit another big one. I know these $50 games can be tough. I hope you and everyone else playing these games continues and someone finds one of the $1M or that final $25M soon.

Thanks skeptic and Dracos. The other $5000 win was from 7 years ago.

Beautiful Ticket GATORS !!!!!!!!! Not to take anything away from your win - and I'm pretty sure it was the 100X game back then...... went to my fav Sunoco station and bought 7 or 8 100X tickets off a roll - listen to this - and this is the truth ! There were two $1K's and three $500's !!!!!! Unbelievable ........ must have been a flaw or fluke in the printing ...pretty sure I posted that win back around then ....and incorrectly ......in my limited experience the older games back then did not print more or around 1B tickets for a game ....... and $100X .... GR Triplet and so forth had a print pot of may 300K or 400K tickets .. and it seemed nice wins were abundant .......

Anyway that was an exciting win streak I ran into...... - nothing ever happened close to that ... sure, now we might hit $100 twice in a row ...... I've yet to see any current big buck scratchers come up with consecutive $500's OR $!k's ...... yes, the big buck games have more $1M's ...... why not ? When they print over a billion tickets.......with 100/200 1M's....... well .....in any event I'm sure FlLot makes more profit from the expensive games ....??

Who would have thought there would be a $50 ticket ? Now there's speculation of a $100 TICKET, a rumor ? I think the most a ticket cost back then $30 ticket ... we could sure use a NEW $20 ticket - with decent mid range prizes..... not like GRL ....... and a $10 like $500 Madness

And while I'm at it Flot should stop saying "another millionaire" ......it's a million dollar TICKET ... lump sum the ticket pays out 600-800 bucks - unless you opt for the annuity that WILL pay out full Million after how many years ....... meaning I have to live that long to get it .....

Enough with the rant/rave ....lol

Take Care !

Hi Scratchers! I've bought quite a few of the new $3 Monopoly Secret Vault games and have been getting screwed. Someone told me to buy new games so that's why I've been on this one (I do not have the heart to spend more than $10 on a scratch off!). But I also know that FL scratch off wins are a hell of a long shot. I see that most of you buy the bigger spend games but if you had an extra $20, would you ever buy 6 of these? Thanks for the feedback!

My rule of thumb is buy the highest denomination ticket based on the amount you intend to spend. If you want to spend $20, then either buy a $20 ticket or at worst two $10 tickets. Buying lots of lower denomination tickets results in lower payouts over time.

Nice win buylow. That game seems to be selling slower than expected. Maybe the high rollers are focused on the $50 tickets and the budget buyers are focused on the $20 tickets or lower.
