$200 win on a 5X multiplier.
Hi Fun2, great $200 win there on the $30 CA 200X! Thanks for your supportive comments on my recent wins - indeed been a fortunate year so far.
I know what you mean about some tickets being hard to scratch. In fact FL had a $20 game that, kid you not, ran for more than 10 years!! https://flalottery.com/scratch-offsGameDetails?gameNumber=1048
Not sure of CA but FL has a few game suppliers, and the ticket latex for each seems to have a different feel, some more "dry" and others more "wet" (tends to smudge but wipes up easy with a finger pass or two).

Keep those nice wins coming!
Hi Cape, Thank you same to you as well. I see, my fellow FL scratchers have to deal with the same pain of hard to scratch tickets. We got em both here as well either too dry or wet n the easy ones.
i dare you to play the hard to scratch ticket you showed, just playing. I tend to avoid them after some bad experiences. It's like surgery trying to play them, scratching the barcode is a toss up whether it can scan of not. I'll keep trying thtough and post them.
Do you ever feel bad when buying a ticket a person of you is playing and you steal there win?

$10 win. Ticket very gummy n wet, hard to scratch but still fun match 3 symbol type game.
Hi Fun, I know what you mean about nabbing tickets but I also play/buy at regular places so for every nice win I've scored I'm sure I've left a few behind being the next or few upcoming on the book.
Great pics on some solid wins!...FL had a Diamond Mine game too but ours was $5, was really popular sold out quick, but alas without a ready replacement (FL Lotto seems to always forget folks want more than the same ole' number match games, sigh, lol 🙄).

Keep up the nice wins!!
A $5 diamond mine sounds fun, I'd play that all day. This $3 ticket i feel is the hardest to win than the other $3 games but it could just be my luck. Hopefully that ticket comes back soon or maybe under a new name in Fl, love this style it's slot machine vibes.
Just in the past couple months, I've been on 2 scratch sessions where someone playing before me buys the same ticket i start to play and are vocal about $200 win, they both even show me their winning ticket(from like a $20 And $10 ticket). I pretend and congratulate em but deep down , especially that $10 ticket. I know there's no rules but it was like a 1v1 situation where nobody else was scratching and I'm pretty sure they were eyeing my purchase. I learn you should just quit that session and play somewhere else. Both instances were older retired gentlemen who clearly don't give an F. But I've been on this other end too but it's like high traffic areas like a supermarket where it can't be helped or i couldn't make up my mind if what to play/to go situation. I did get redemption on one of those sessions the same day, I'll post it later, it was for the $10 ticket but the win came from a $20 ticket, it helped a little but the scar remains. You can steal my wins anytime cape as long as you post it here and not tell me in real time.

$250 redemption win - Puzzle 2 hit for 5 words $50 w. 5X multiplier.
Hey Fun nice pic and great score on the 5X for $250! I like the bonus prize word feature on this crossword...FL doesn't have anything like that. Question...does the bonus word win no matter how many winning words are had on a game? Like if on puzzle #1 only two words were gained and one of them was "Item" would it still win the $25? Either way keep up these wins!

$20 win - learned you should scratch from the ends because they love putting a stop at the very end.

Keep it up!!
Thanks cape will do! maze is fun game, requires no thinking at all my kind of game. After that 5k hit do you go back to playing that ticket or is there a cool down period? Do you prefer to buy a ticket from a machine or from a person? I feel my big hits come from a machine. I'm buying that $20 crossword game in the name of research so hopefully I'll get an answer soon.
