Instant Machines!Reply
High traffic supermarket machines do increases your odds a little bit, let me repeat just a little bit, due to more people scratching and paving the way to a winner. However, as you all know, winning tickets are all location dependent, as the winners are distributed to random locations throughout the state. The advantages of machines are... You don't have to deal with a clerk. Some locations have a high roll turnover. They are faster and more convienent to use. There are no lines

Post Your Winning Tickets HereReply
I play a lot of tickets. What I'll do is start with the $20's. I like the $20 tickets and find better bigger winners there. I'll choose what I like first and see how I do on those. It depends on what's in the machine too on whether I play more of those same $20's if I don't win or bounce around to the $5's and $10's. If the $10's don't do anything on the 1st ticket out, I'll try another of one or two that I like. I don't play more than 2 of each. If the winner isn't there, I'm not go

New York: 2/1 - 2/28/2011Reply
Tell the clerk to add the Lucky Sum feature to whatever ticket you play. FOr example play 123 .50 cents boxed and tell the clerk to add the lucky sum option to your ticket. Lucky sum cost $1, so in addition to paying .50 cents for the 123 ,50 box you'll pay an additional $1 for the lucky sum bringing your total ticket cost to $1.50. THe lucky sum feature will automatically select your sum based on the # you played. So if you played 123 box with the lucky sum feature the machine will set your

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Believe it or not, the Money, Money, Money have been giving $100's at the beginning and also the Triple Platinum 7's. I remember MMM being horrible a lot of times..giving $10 or nothing at all more than enough times - it is better to at least get your money back but when they're screaming: 16 chances to win!....normally, it's not $10 I'm looking for lol! The Million Dollar Cash Fever ticket also is good for $100's in the beginning. Those are the only ones I would buy if I could see t

Poaching for winning tickets
So I was at the store today standing in line at the instant vending machine waiting to get a $20 Gold Rush. The last person behind me buys the ticket I was about to buy so I decided to just watch him scratch it and see if he wins before I buy one. He scratched it in 10 seconds, did not win, and proceeded to buy another. I also watched him scratch that ticket and lose again. So I jumped at the opportunity and bought the next ticket. Won $50 ! While Im standing in line to cash the ticket, the s

New $20.00 ticket " Florida Millionaires Club"Reply
Sweet, a nice 50.00 win on ticket #007 from an Instant Machine at Publix. I am torn between Gold Rush and this new ticket even though Tampa had the 1 Mil win, but there are still 2/2 of the 3 Mil to win and the smaller prizes. I think it helps to stick to one game at a time, but I'm bouncing a bit, it just means I'm spending more but I've been nabbing 100.00, several 20.00 and this 50.00 so as long as that keeps up, I'll keep trying. Can't seem to easily post a picture here. Also, this 50.00

Clerk's lottery ticket error wins woman $1 millionReply
I agree, unless its a $50 dollar ticket like I have seen before at the local grocery stores around me. (I guess the machine printed 10 sets for next 10 draws) The gas station had a $10.00 PBall ticket that was printed on accident last night. I told the dude if it was still there today I would go buy it. Well see what happens when I get off work. It may still be there. Im sure the clerk is expecting something since it was technically her mistake which resulted in this lady winning

Ticket IssuesReply
Yes trucker, it happens on and off. Sometimes a machine just won't read the card no matter what. So I've heard all kinds of reasons why..from the ink, to the card condition, to the scanner, to the machine *being off all day*...Is it also possible you had just a tiny, tiny mark on another box on the ticket? ...but you did say you filled out a new ticket...hmmm Sometimes the machines are so sensitive, they'll pick up the tiniest mark in a box you do not want to play....but then explain wh

$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
I am going to do exactly that. I will primarily be looking for the ticket numbers, within the same game. I usually avoid the stores with lots of big winners on the wall, because it makes me think that the cashiers are counting the tickets, and buying the winners themselves. How else does that explain a slow gas station having 50 $100 to $500 tickets posted on the wall? Surely not all of the winning customers turn in their tickets where they buy them anyways. Maybe I am being paranoid. Anyone hav

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
I'm doing the partial QP thing in a lame attempt to try to keep the machine from giving me a regular QP with a string of 3 or 4 numbers in sequence. (But even doing a partial cant stop that from happening. The only way to prevent it is to do PP's) Lately, it seems like the regular QP's I have gotten have a string of three numbers in sequence, followed by a fourth number almost in sequence with the other three. Not too long ago I got 31 32 33 35...... Because I dont track SM numbers like I
