Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum. I just posted on another post about scratch off tickets. I have been pretty lucky in the past but not like some of you. I did win $500 in Keno. This was by accident because I didn't know what I was doing. lol
I won $400 in play4 back in July. I had a dream Friday night and played the number for day and evening on Sat. I boxed 1991. It came 1919. I was very happy about that.
The most I have won on a single scratcher is $100. I purchased books before and only got about half the money back. I couldn't do that too often on my salary. I have tried to develop a strategy. I know if I want to win big, and when I say big, I want the $1million or more jackpots, you won't find these in poor neighbors. Although, I have seen $400k wins in one fairly poor neighborhood at a Korean supermarket. The have sold two tickets in a 3 or 4 yr span that had big winners like that. One day, i walked in to buy a ticket and the clerk said, someone bought a ticket just before me worth $10k. shucks! Just my luck.
Anyway, I am coming into a little bit of cash and I am trying my luck. Not with books but just to see if i can hit a $500 or more ticket to keep buying tickets until I hit. I have a feeling, it's coming. So I am setting aside $200 to start. Here's what I hope to buy and i know some of you have your favorites but keep in mind, even if a ticket is old, sometimes they will print the jackpot tickets while everyone is buying the new ones. When you buy the new ones, your aim should be to get to the jackpot before others start to buy them. I have noticed that if there are let's say 5 top prizes available and 2 or 3 are claimed within a month's time, you most likely won't hit a jackpot for a long time. They don't print them all at once. Anyway, here's what I plan to buy:
$7500 A Week, $20 21series, $1,250,000 Bonanza, $20 Ga Extravaganza, Grand Casino, Cash King, Atlanta Falcons, $10 Anniversary Edition Jumbo Bucks, and $5 Anniversary Edition Jumbo. Although some of these don't have $1million or more jackpots, I'll settle for $350k if it gives me a good win. Anyway, I will post what I get by the end of the week or when I get them.
BTW...is there a post of a jackpot winner from a scratcher anywhere in the forum from Ga.? I'd like to see if they had a winner with the jackpot. Sometimes after scratching back to back losers, I've actually had a $100 winner. Sorry if I talk too much. :-)
