Yep. the odds will always be as though all winners are available. You mean to tell me that the MINIMUM winner for this game is $100. No $3.00, $10.00, etc. winners? And one hundred eighty five (185) $20,000 winning tickets? Whoa

Haven't played that game (I live in Arizona), but can give another example. I play only one $5 scratchers game simply because I enjoy playing it. It has overall odds of 1:3.66. I bought six (6) consecutive tickets last week and won zippo/nada/nothing. Two weeks ago I bought Six (6) in a row and won on five (5) of six (6) tickets for a total of $105. Whether it's Arizona, California or Kansas, it's all RANDOM. So in answer to your question, what gets printed when and where they are distributed ar... [ More ]

The overall odds are 1:3.49... There are a lot of tickets printed for each game. Because they are printed at random... situations like this do happen. There are also situations where you may find 2 or 3 winners back to back or back to back to back.

I bought a couple of them a month ago. One Ticket winner, and one loser. There's something to the theory that certain stores have a higher number of winning tickets. A Safeway in Dublin I bought tickets at regularly had a good track record, and I could expect to win enough to cover the cost of the losers. Our local market, Bel Air, has been going downhill in that department. I bought a one thousand dollar winning Tropical Cash ticket there 5 years ago, and ever since then, it's been very....very...

The most I have won is $40, but I don't buy 9 tickets in a row at the same place. I go to different stores. I have good luck at the instant machines at Safeway.

Has anyone played Millions in Cash scratch off in California? It says the odds of winning is 1 in 3.49 tickets. I bought 9 tickets in one shot and they were ALL LOSERS ! How can that be? Isn't there supposed to be at least 1 winner in 9 consecutive tickets if the odds are 1 in 3.49
