Take #533 Set for Life off the list. The last top prize has been won.

I found it at a Stop n Go. I went back yesterday and picked up another one (a break-even winner) and one of the #533 Set for Life (a loser).They are renaming some Stop 'n Go stores to Valero. You may know them by that name. They had a glass countertop at both registers with tickets below. They had at least 30, maybe 40 different tickets. I just haven't seen these two games in a while.

I'll be posting my picks for 1/14 later today. I expect $2 Million Spectacular to still be positive EV and Set for Life #533 to be over 95% return. We'll see if any other games are over 80%. TonyB - where did you find $2 Million Spectacular? I've looked for it but can't find it here in Austin.

#418 $2 million Spectacular now has 1 top prize remaining. It's still a good play but not as rich as it was. #533 Set for Life is very close to 100% return now. If there is interest, I will post the top 5 scratch-offs after running the latest numbers this weekend.

One of two remaining $2 million prizes for $2 million Spectacular has been found. There is still one out there somewhere. The odds are still good.I've been watching this game for several months. It's been 3 months since I've been able to find a ticket.Too bad they don't have a way to search for stores selling a particular game.

Just wanted to add that if you are looking to play a game that might be more readily available, #617 Winter Treasures is running rich according the the data released Dec 24th. (meaning that a greater than expected number of losing tickets have already been scratched leaving a greater than expected number of winners)The prize amounts that are running rich are the top prize of $500k (of 3, 2 remain) as well as the $2500 and $1000 prizes. I estimate that odds including break-even are 1 in 2.96... [ More ]

Texas scratch-off with profit potential

new member here...i've been doing analysis of scratch-off games as a hobby for about a year now. According to the data provided by the Texas lottery commission, there is a Texas Scratch-off game that is actually +EV at the moment. I estimate that for every $1 you put into this game, it provides an expected return of $1.66. Now, this estimate includes the fact that the majority of big prizes for this scratch-off remain unclaimed so this isn't a money machine or anything. Variance will still cau... [ More ]
