Yea, I agree about the directions. When I found the discarded ones, I could not understand why some were barely scratched. But then I realized the bar code was scratched. Lol

I cannot afford scratchers. Sometimes I cannot understand the directions.

By the way, I am on my way to the Discussion Forum to inform all that My Lottery Dream Home will begin here on the PDT at 3 pm and end at 9 pm. On HGTV. So check your own tv schedules.

It is MM and PB for me.

Wow, how ironic. I've lost the lottery 17 times the last three months.

I'm kidding, I've lost more than that.

$500,000 for a Second Chance prize? That's the kind of prize that could make me actually buy some scratch-offs!

I checked the Florida Lottery website, and of the six Second Chance promotional games that are easily researched, the maximum top prize was $30,000 (in the 30th Birthday Cash Spectacular.) For a chance at a $500,000 top prize, I wouldn't mind a few losing scratchers...

Artist77, I hope you win soon with your found scratchers. I will not tell.

I only play scratchers when I receive them as gifts.

Good Luck

Great job and most of it from 2nd chance drawings. I started checking the small bucket trashcan (very discretely) and lottery slip display counter for used scratchers in my grocery store. I found 2 VA extreme millions scratchers where the 2nd chance prizes include $1 million. So this is how I play scratchers now and never spend a dime.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Got a good head on his shoulders, such a good feeling when the house is paid off. Naturally Mr. Dog lover noticed how friendly the dog was when the door was opened and the lady didn't freak out!

Would love to see what Terry's face looked like when she saw the oversized check.

Keep on winning
