I entered the second chance drawing on a Titans scratcher but who really wants Titans tickets or accessories? My only hope would be that I could sell whatever you win. I wish they would just stick to awarding cash, which is what most people want when they play a lottery game anyway.

Is buying 2 scratchers in a row better?

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:03:22 GMT

Reply #4
Hi,

One thing that can be helpfull when buying scratch-offs is go to your states lottery website and look under games. go to where the tickets are located click on the tickets that you like to play or look at the list if you click, on each ind one it should tell you the odds. for example 1:4:3 so really what that means is 1 in ea 4 tickets is a winner, might not be the big one could just be another ticket. the lower the odds the better. Something to think about.

I am trying the method by How to win on scratchers .com where he suggests buying one ticket at a time and that isn't working so far LOL!!!! I buy the 1 dollar tickets and I haven't won anything yet, NC tickets don't pay that well at all. I am trying the positive visualization method you explained in your post earlier and I am re- reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It is a good book to always read over and over again because you can always learn something new from it. Good luck to you

I really couldn't spend more than $10 (if I really feel lucky) on an instant ticket. Any more and it's just foolish. I remember when TX introduced a $50 instant ticket. I'm going to say the same thing I said when that was introduced. What if you lose. You're really going to beat yourself up over losing that much money. Now I'm not against someone going out and paying a ton on one instant ticket. If it's your money, it's your call. Just think about all sides of the equation.

There is a store about 10 minutes from where I live that when they cash in a $50 or greater winner, they keep it and add it to a huge pile. It's visible, anyone can look at them.

I'm hoping to borrow that pile long enough to discern where winners are most likely to fall on any given roll. Maybe tomorrow if I get a chance, but certainly before the weekend out.

I know that low tickets on the roll - 000 through 005 - almost always (90+%) have a winner in, usually $50 (for the recent $10

Yes, I heard the same thing about the white stripe ticket. I have looked and purchase those tickets and yes, SOMETIMES it is a winner. Nothing really big, however, it was a winner.

I have to say, those white stripe tickets are NOT for certain, winners. GOOD LUCK.

As a lottery player and huge scratch off ticket fan living in Brooklyn, I have long questioned the ethics of NYS lottery officials. I buy the $10 tickets and have NEVER won more $1000 on one ticket. When I think about all of the tickets I've purchased over the years - and given the systems odds, well....

I don't know much about vending machines. I'm not sure who stocks them. (I assume the retailer) Maybe the store didn't validate the book of tickets before stocking the machine? That or a computer glitch may be the cause. Of course a computer glitch could mean anything. I hope you are able to collect. If not... At least you didn't win $100 or more. That would be a tough pill to swollow.

That is where the average starts back over.... I hit on the white line 3 out of every 5 times.. half of those times BOTH tickets are winners..HOWEVER, I have noticed that they are usually small amounts on the highlighted lines...the large amount winner on the tickets I've inspected hanging up at various gas stations do NOT have the highlighted line....so it truly is a crap shoot...however when I see the highlighted line I usually pick it up..this is especially true on the 5.00 and 10.00 tickets....

Winner, without scratching?

Tue, 26 May 2009 16:04:53 GMT

Reply #5
Some scratching fanatics like myself hate the Spoiler letters found on tickets. So, like others I know we scratch only the letters under the numbers. Unless you examine the ticket it will appear as though as the ticket hasn't even been scratched. To me, it puts the fun back into playing without worrying about seeing the dreaded X spoiler letter. (Unless you win $6, X usually means you have a loser)

Off topic but still important... Cashiers always ask me why I don't scratch remaining areas aft... [ More ]

I've decided I'm going to choose the new $2 game, $100 Winner is has 10,000 $100 winners. I think I'm just going to stick with my normal 1 ticket has each spot and wait and scratch all of them at my neighborhood lottery place when i get back home. I don't want to turn 3.5 hour trip to the beach into a 5 hour trip. Maybe I should just do this on the way back.

I once bought the last ticket on a roll of $1 tickets and won $100.The clerk who sold me the ticket was more excited than I was...she was running around behind the counter with my ticket in her hand and showing it to everyone in the place and telling everyone that it was the last ticket on the roll.I have no idea how common it is for the last ticket on the roll to be a winner,but it does happen.Buy those last 9 tickets,its only money.If you are going to gamble you have to take chances once in aw...

Quick 50s

That's what they should have all along. They used to have these one dollar pulltabs at bars and bowling allies where the top prizes ranged between 100 and 300 dollars. Just recently (by recently, I mean about a week ago), they changed them to prizes of 1000, meaning chances are you are not going to get the top prize.

The quick 50s may not be the best games, but for one dollar Michigan instant games, they really aren't that bad, and they're pretty fun too. They also have a 500s fury for 2 buc... [ More ]

But for this particular scratchoffs that promises 100 million dollars to 1 winner, why not create it like Powerball with a second prize paying 200,000 dollars...That way you can create a 100 million dollars with 20 million dollars for the second prize which is equal to 100 second prizes all going to the countries that do not have the winning ticket...And if they rotate suppose is a 3 countries, then 1 country gets the winning ticket, the other country gets 50 second prizes and the other country

You've likely won $30... I know in TN after $15 the letter combos are strange. I know I won $20 once and the letters were cln or something like that... Some states go up to $500 but others don't. You may want to email the MI lottery and ask them.

Let me tell you a little trick about state lottery web
