  Bought 3 Books of the Previous Version back in 2016.

  The most I ever hit were $500.

  I tried the new 2017 Book and it was about the same thing, roughly 40%

   

  Has anyone one ever hit MAJOR PAY DIRT

  I played a good number of the 30th Anniversary Scratchers in late 2015. I won 2 $200's and a $500. Regarding California Gold, I have only won $40. But, I've only played 2 times (the other was a Non-winner).

   

  I do not buy books, but I imagine you'll encounter some claim tickets on the $30 if you focus your efforts on it.

  Honestly, I'm getting frustrated losing thirties playing small tickets and then wishing I'd just gone for that 10 million. Sure, you'll lose your fair share of California Golds, but considering that this ticket is going to be limited availability and odds at 2.8 or so, it's a reasonable pursuit.

  Excuse me, looks like the overall odds are 2.62. Seems like they're still formidable enough to take your $30, but not so difficult that you can't get a free ticket if you buy 2. On another note, I am 0-for-5 on Super Ticket. I thought they designed that game like Deluxe 7's Playbook, where you win more often, but it's just break-even cash prizes or "money back"...plus 5 dollars. My newbie friend won $50 on Super Ticket, which I assume is the first $10 Scratcher he's ever purchased. Now he's probably sold on the things. But anyway, I hope I get something good to make up for these abysmal stats. That ticket has me in it's clutches, and it's supposed to be one of the nicer ones (1:3.61; cash prizes only, no Free Tickets). I hope it turns out to be the one I win a million dollars on!

   

  The only claim ticket I ever purchased was a $1,000 50X the Cash, a $10 Scratcher.

  $740/$900...Hmmm. Well, you are paying for a chance to win $10,000,000 and $750,000. That is not too bad of a return, by the way.
