Does buying a whole roll of scrachers work?Reply
If you buy an entire pack or better yet several entire packs, keep scanned images of every ticket in that pack, both losers and winners. There is a finite number of base pack patterns as the tickets are printed in sheets with many packs to a sheet so the packs repeat sheet to sheet. You could then go from store to store or machine to machine and buy a ticket, see if all the symbols match exactly to the same numbered ticket from the pack you had purchased, if it does, buy another ticket and if th

Tips for winningReply
As a general rule, I don't really think it makes a difference either way. The state prints a set number of tickets and distributes them among all retailers in the state. If there is a high population, you run a higher risk of someone else winning, and if you live in a low population state you'd all be searching for the big winner and would have to purchase more tickets in order to find it. Obviously my theories might be way off base though as I can't seem to win anything but free tickets on scra

You are welcome Matt! Yes, I'm in the SE part of PA too. I've found with these MM tickets, either the first couple after 000, 001 between 003 and 006 lies a winner sometimes. I've already found 4x symbols - again for a $10 base amount - in that range of ticket numbers. I would say that the end of the pack after 023 does better than the beginning though. That's where I found a $50 winner (ticket number 023, $10x4 + $10) and another $100 on ticket number #027. Also, if I get #028 an

Working Scratch of tactics threadReply
So far, I've identified several strategies First, selecting the game: There's the basic expectation where you sum up the products of the prize value and the probability of hitting that prize. This doesn't take into account the volatility of the game such as with Super Set For Life where it's pretty much all on none. There's rating the games by the sum of the log value of the prize value to price ratio divided by the log value of the odds against for that prize. This favours the lower

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hi BROCK ! Glad you doubled your money with the $40 win ! You know this game is some 10 years old - looks like the Lottery is cleaning out the remaining tickets by sending them out to most of the retailers - the BAR CODE is on the back side at the top - under it you will see the game # 1048 - followed by the book number - on the front where you scratch WIN UP TO ..... there are as you said, a bunch of numbers. The only ones that count have a short line over three numbers ..... when the clerk goe

The secret to winning lottery with Scratch off'sReply
This is not true. While scratch may seem random they are not random at all. Of course you can blow me off and just say whatever, but after spending around 100k last year on lottery tickets and making 40k i can tell you they are not entirely random. Scratchoffs are printed by an algorithm developed with a base set of logic. There are a couple of the rules that I know and rules for each game are different based off the percentage payout of a game. To help draw you a picture of why they are not ran

Oh it's bad alright.... I can find winners but what is bad is this too....the number patterns are so predictable that when you scratch 'your numbers' and do the first row of play field numbers and get a look at them, you can tell right then if it's going to win or lose. With the one column play field like on a $2 ticket, you can tell if the ticket is going to lose if you get a number that is reversed...say you need 23 and they give 32....or you need 12 and they give 21. It's sick and

Hi James! No, I don't mind you asking at all. I play a lot of tickets but my plays are scattered throughout different stores. I usually go to 2 favorite/ nearby gas stations, 2 favorite/nearby grocery stores and depending on my travels for the day/every couple days...I'll try whatever is on the way to where I'm going. Usually when I go out, I have $100 to play where I choose to stop in - I LOVE the favorite gas station, that's a Top Star station, that's ALWAYS been good and I don't k
