Keep playing but not the same game. Don't go nuts. Try buying 1 or 2 each.

I read a simliar story..not sure if it was the same one...The one I'm talking about is Joan Ginther. She has a PhD in mathematics. I believe she won 4 times. There was some speculation that she'd done some kind of mathmatical analyzing that pin pointed where the winning tickets were.

I have seen people from the same towns/cities winning the jackpot prizes of scratch off tickets within a year of one another. If I was you I wouldn't play that particular ticket in your town if you only want to win the top prize. Good luck

Hi rdgnr,

Now that would be nice if it was as you say. Wisconsin does make fabulous cheeses though.

Or your town could be the next Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

This could be just the beginning.

It could happen.

Someone in my town won big on a scratch off ticket should I not play scratchers in my town now?

Hi everyone,

Okay just a question. Found out that someone in my town won a big jackpot on a scratch ticket. It was the 5,000 a week for life 10 dollar ticket (the guy choose the cash option and got 4 million). I'm wondering if that means there will never be another jackpot winner on a scratch off ticket in my town again. It seemed like many other surrounding towns would have scratch off winners for jackpots but not my town, now that my town has a big winner I'm wondering if I should continue... [ More ]
