Where do you do your ticket shopping?Reply
There is a little market in our town I get my tickets at typically from one of those vending machine style. I usually go in for a sandwich or drink and if I have a buck or two left in my pocket, I'll grab a ticket on my way out. Sometimes I fill out a slip, sometimes I'll get a QP.. and when I am feeling wild, maybe both I get my scratch-its there, too. Although, those itchy scratchies have been a lot more successful than my PB, MM and Oregons Megabucks haha

A tid bit of info on lotto tics
I was getting tired of getting lotto tickets that may start with small numbers or large numbers on both separate tickets, in otherwords, small numbers on both tickets or large numbers on both tickets. (Looking for a better variety) So, last two days at two different stores I bought two separate tickets from each store. I asked the clerk to give me 1 ticket from one lotto machine and another from the other machine. Big difference, one started with 17 and the other started with 8, and the other st

$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot approaches billion-dollar rangeReply
Without doing any research, just working from memory of winners' stories, willing to bet a ticket the vast majority---probably 80-90%---of those top 25 (and probably next 25) all-time prize amounts were won with quick picks. No strategy, no boxing, no 'lucky numbers', just machine-generated randomness.

Is there anyway to get a lottery terminal to play trends?Reply
Well these terminals need Siri. It would be great if you could just insert your money, press a button, and say play trends and the machine would say OK and spit out a ticket with numbers reflecting recent trends.

Discovery - New PA Raffle Game ChangeReply
G5 ... I hear or read what you are saying about more tickets being sold in larger numbers as the raffle game comes to the end. Not to argue ... but if the RNG is truly just that ... a machine with a certain amount of raffle numbers inside it or on a computer chip , starting with the very first number (00000001) to the very last number ... whatever that might be at the raffle ending ... if it's not a ticket sell out. The RNG should have nothing else on that computer chip ... just a bunch of

Illinois lottery winners file class-action lawsuit against stateReply
I remember a business law teacher saying that putting coins in a soda machine was an implied contract between you and the machine. Once you put the coins in you rightfully expect the machine to deliver the soda. I'm no lawyer but wouldn't the payout schedule on the back of the play slip or the possible prizes on a scratcher be an implied contract, once the ticket is played or the scratcher is purchased?

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Nice winners... Nothing to really report here. Tried 2 of the new $20's and both lost. The past week or two I have cut back, but still play here and there... Tonight I planned to play at least $20 at the new store that opened in town. Played there a few times and it hasn't paid well. I am in line and see kids over at the machine. The one starts hitting the slot for Big Money. Figure this is my ticket now.. I grabbed one and it was on 028, so I grabbed another. Had it been any other #, I would ha

Georgia Lottery Scratch OffsReply
Man this thread is dead! I have nothing huge to report. I don't play as much anymore. I got the urge yesterday and played about 5 $30 cash spectacular and a few various $5 games. I hit $200 on the 2nd cash spectacular from the counter. Played a couple out of the machine and hit $50. I started to get excited on the cash spectacular because I got the 5x symbol. Everytime I have gotten that symbol it was a $500 win. I was ticked to see $40 under it. I have won $200 on a ticket almost everytime I pl
