Congrats Butwhatif I had a good outing tonight. With $50 cash went and got a $20 Monopoly from the machine. 1st number I scratch hits. Then the last number I scratch also hit. Only $10 each though so break even. Decided to get another one from the machine. Put $20 in machine makes the noise as printing and ticket got stuck and im out $20 for a second. Get the lady to open up the machine she asked if I still want the ticket ( It was really scratched ). I said yes because I just felt a win

Consecutive losing ticketsReply
Good thread. First off, I know I buy WAY too many $10.00 and $20.00 tickets each day. I have to travel for work and anytime I stop for fuel or coffee I try one or two or three or if I'm trying to catch up as many as five or six. I've already had six $10.00 and five $20.00 losers in a row. Probably should call the 800 number. BTW, they were the LAST five and six in a pack. The $10.00 Christmas tickets Winner Green were pretty good for about 3 weeks. From mid Nov. thru the first week in De

Florida: 1/1 - 1/31/2011Reply
A couple of days ago I was at 7-11 and buying about 5 p-3 combos. all of the bets started with a 7...all straight numbers. One of the tickets I played was 7 in the first position straight and marked QP on the slip. The computer was supposed to pick the remaining 2 numbers. The clerk was having problems because the machine wasn't accepting the slip, so I asked her to pick any 2 numbers. She picked 37. So my ticket was 737. I should've picked that up as a sign/red flag....

Played through $20 Florida Millionaire's Club roll todayReply
Finished Playing through almost a whole roll of Millionaire club. I had a feeling that something might hit out of it but it did not. I only missed 2 Tickets that someone else got. Missed #13 and #12. Tickets at the Publix Instant machine count down so that screws me up a bit too. I hit 100.00, 40.00, 30.00, 25.00 x2 and 20.00 x 5 Three in a row occurred at 17, 16, 15 and wer 40,30,25 in prize amount. Tickets 11 down to 00 only had 3 20.00 winners, Then the ticket slot read OUT in the

Jackpot winner dangers!Reply
@ PERDUE, I do check my winnings at home so I know which are the winners, the losers, and how much I've won. I just check the amounts online. It's when I go to cash them in when I'll use the self-serve machine to scan the losers to see if I missed something. Once done, then I have the attendant cash my already signed tickets, and I have them put the winning ticket with the win receipts on the counter so I can watch the amounts and the receipts to make sure they are coming up with the same thi

Whats good or bad about "Qiuck Picks"Reply
Good? It's the easy way....walk right up and get your ticket. And from what you read most people win using quick picks because more people are playing them. Bad? You're letting a machine decide for you. I like to make my own decisions. Phooey to Quick Picks. Won more using my own numbers.

Has a Lottery Clerk Ever Attempted to Rip You Off?Reply
Good story bigdaddy, thanks. I've never even considered a scenario like that. And that could've been a major problem with a jackpot ticket. I have had a clerk who occasionally asks if I want him to throw my playslips away after he runs them through the machine and I always decline and ask for them back. I can't say for sure what his motives are but I ain't splittin if I don't have to.

Would you agree - Pick 3 is played by poor people mainlyReply
I don't know of any poor people who play the P3 and P4. Most really poor folks I know are trying to survive off of nothing. Most of the folks I see playing P3 and 4 have new cars, homes, etc. If you go to any lottery shop, you won't see folks in there trying to buy stuff with food stamps. They have cold hard cash. Most of the denominations are 20's 50's and 1's. If they run out, they can use the cash withdrawal machine which is there. For my personal opinion, if a person makes less than $20,000.

I like that last thing you said there. Have machines that scan your lottery ticket and give you a voucher to redeem for cash or additionally, have the machine pay it out if it's under a certain amount.
