  There are 50 tickets in a pack and the major wins are in clusters, eg. tickets #17, 18 and 19 have the most wins and the rest of the tickets are clunkers.

  Is this a new trend?

  This happens here in Florida, too. I've encountered 11 losing tickets in a row on the $20 $200k/yr for Life game. Yes, $220 loss. I think I found a $20 winner after that streak...

  Hey Ralphie

  For what it's worth - I kept most of my $500 wins in a box -  a little over 200 - most are $20 and $25's -  I sorted them by ticket # and it all balanced out pretty much evenly - in other words each ticket # won about the same number of times. I remember thinking I had hot numbers because I'd hit say #10 or #19 a couple times -  however you might experience different results.

  Good Luck !

   

  @ Dracos - talk about duds - I think I had about 20 in row - more than once ...... makes me want to drive my car off a cliff ! How can that happen ?

  It might have been $200MS - the $10 game. And the old $20 GOLD RUSH from years ago ....

  $20K WCC -    $10K Jubilee -    $5K 200MS    439 $500's     52 $1k's       9  $400's

  Ohio Lottery : $10  Million Dollar Payday ticket #8 was a $100 winner.....  There could be some truth in this....

  It's like that here in PA too. A pack of $20's will generally have 9/10 winners. I have seen 4/5 in a row win with 9-11 in a row of losers. Alot of my higher dollar winners are also in the back half of the pack with a good amount on the very last ticket from the ones I recall and have in a drawer.
