On the other hand, I'm kind of looking forward to the end which is only about 4 weeks away. Once it gets to about 5400 five hundreds left (15%), this game will be over. It generally seems once they come out with a new game, everyone wants it and the retailers will ask for it over the ending game.
This time around has not been as good as round #1. Call it bad luck or whatever but it's been more work and less lucrative. I just can't make myself walk away from a +EV bet. And it is.
Today I chased down 4 packs. 2 of the 4 packs, I had to buy the entire pack as the $500 was ticket 000. ( Packs run 029 down to 000 ).
Another game 018 was $500 and 026 was $100.
The last game 021 was $500 and 028 was $100.
That's pretty crappy and it still ended up + $170
My observation has been tickets 024-029 almost never have the $500. While tickets 000-005 have it a lot. Also, the $500 is rarely the first winner. Possibly the lottery has pushed it lower in most packs to prevent easy money chasing. Or I have just been having <snip> luck. As my sister pointed out, no matter how many packs I have chased ( and I have chased a lot ), it's still a small sample of the 36,000 total packs. Amazing to me though, currently the game has gone through ~ 24,000 packs and I guarantee I have chased 480 packs ( 2% all by myself ). I'm still up for sure but not near what the math says I should be which would be over $60,000. I'm glad it's nearing the end. Once they come out with the next new game it will be done. Currently the website lists 4 different $30 games but I haven't seen a jackpot fortune or extreme cash since back in 2021. If they come back with another one of these, I'm not going so hard. I can't count how many packs I have virtually had to buy 80% or more to hit it.
