Hi All. No big wins from me to brag about, a lot of duds. I've played some of the $50 and gotten $100 but my get rate is less than 20% so I usually only get 1 a week.

Question though, I haven't been here in awhile and haven't read back at the thread, but is it just me or the $20 Perfect Gift Holiday scratcher the worst ticket to scratch ever? Who made that game and what material did they use because it seems like a massive pain to scratch those off. I played 3 before and lost on them all. I noticed that game still has 3 top prizes and my guess is it wasn't selling well. Anybody else play it and have any success?

Hi ZZPlay, that's one of the FL Lotto's scratch offs delivered by Pollard Banknote. Pollard is a Canadian company and a significant player in the international scratch off market, even larger than Sci Games and the local yokle FL provider the FL Lotto uses.

The FL Lotto seems to use Pollard Banknote as a Guinea Pig to try various ideas...as their tickets seems to be more innovative as most FL Lotto providers. The $20 Perfect Gift is a first of its kind with the FL Lotto, given its perforated open book layout. The company has also delivered other games like the Struck by Luck 10$ game several years ago (super fun if you downloaded the app...my wife's look is still etched in my memory when the $1,000 win popped up), and the $5 Big Ben's with its unusual landscape orientation.

It seems the FL Lotto perpetually strings Pollard Banknote along with ordering several vanilla-style games just to keep their foot in the door but believe me they are the most innovative and dynamic game providers of all FL scratch tickets. You might not like their latest (I personally like the $20 Luck) but I'm glad they are at the table. Oh, also, many Pollard games DO NOT have fake multipliers. Finally you can tell a Pollard game by the ticket number area in the bottom right corner of every ticket..they will have a mini bar code (which I'm still looking into what it represents...but appears universal per game).

Hope this helps.

Hey Skeptic, it's great to see you score some long overdue pay dirt, congrats!!
I too seem to be at an impasse with realizing anything greater than $500, but I've known of worse problems 😊. Also, I think we'd all agree that unless you're paying zilch in taxes 4 $500s beats 2 $1,000s any day, even with the additional outlay of 4 vs 2 tickets!

Also, that 500X is a most pretty win...perfectly centered in the Your Numbers table.
Have you tried the new $50 GR Multiplayer?? Either way hope your lunch continues and you score an incredible win

Howdy it's been a long time since chiming in on some Florida lottery scratchoff culture...I've been playing more pick games and less heavy scratchoffs over the last few years because of poor total returns from these new tickets and abusive fake multipliers...however got a wild hair on Friday after a pick 3 win. Started playing some of that New Gold Rush $50 starting on ticket 23. 023, 024, 025, 026, 027, 029 all lost but number 028 saved the day.....

5K...let's hope this starts a run of wins, still gonna cherry pick though.

Thanks skeptic...definitely one of those Lucky right place, right mood, right time situations.! I've only played 12 of these tickets since release. Won on 2. 100 and 5k. Rest are duds for second chance entry.

Congrats on that $5k win. Anything above $500 is very difficult these days.

Excellent $5,000 win, Kristoff, and for sure one of the higher ones this thread has seen in a bit. When you said #28 Saved the Day II was thinking a $500 to give you a modest profit but a $5000 score does a heck of a lot more. I'm curious, was the roll on #23 when you got it, or was it from a place that counts down, like Publix, and thus a fresh book on #29? Either way if you scratch from top of the ticket down I'm thinking it got quite real when that $50 x 50X popped up.

Congrats and many more!!

So my 1st $500 on the new $50 GRM comes via a win 23 of 25 spots. A Gold Bar would have been less work but I'm not complaining

Good luck everyone

Congrats on the 5k and $500 win. I swore I wouldn't play the new tix but I've done one ticket every payday and have been 2/2. I won $100 and $500 respectively. By this theory when I play next week it should be a 1k winner ;) lol

Hi Speed, I've also been hitting a bit of pay dirt on these tickets, and that win 10 for $50 each spot is a beautiful ticket, congrats!!

Nothing really....Just some 100s and an ill advised chase that ended badly and a $500 getting sniped on a roll i was playing. People are hitting the 5 hondos though regularly.
