If you play California scratch tickets, and play the wrong games, YOU WILL WIN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Unless you think a free ticket is a prize. THE Ca. LOTTERY DOES. Look at it like this, The last winning ticket has just been sold. Do you think the Lottery has alarms, flashing lights, and has employees racing to 30K gas stations, stores, and vending machines to pull the non-winning tickets before someone buys them? Do you pay $30 20 10 5 1 for a chance to win a free ticket? Your odds of playing a game with nothing to win are better than winning a prize. The Lottery put free tickets in, so they can say some prizes are still there. The page on the internet that shows the prizes left, is not accurate. Not even close. We took pics of vending machines, and stores that had tickets with no prizes left. We found the dates when the last prize winning tickets were sold, and matched them with the pics. PLAY THE WRONG GAMES, AND YOU JUST beenrippedoff....
