CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
Yep, like I always say, Scratchers is a competitive game. You are playing against other players for the same wins on the roll. And the clerk has an unfair advantage.(if they play) There are certain stores that simply payout less, and that's probably due to your competition. Either lots of win chasers, ticket hawks, or a clerk doing one or both. Dont play there. Play at stores where the clerk is not able to watch the machines/bins and hawk you, like a supermarket vending machine or a 7-11 w

hello from texas. i am new here. i have only recently started playing scratch-offs (maybe 3 months ago), so i haven't won anything huge but i've hit $100 on 4 different occasions. the best being on the $2 Money Match. the other 3 were on $20 tickets - $500mil Extreme Cash Blast, 20X Cash and $500 Million Frenzy. those were all won in 2 days but of course i blew all the money on more tickets. when i cashed in one of the tickets, some random guy in line asked if i wanted to go half and half on a $

powerball quick pickReply
State your conspiracy theory. Your previous post about rigged PB machines fell flat. Do you have new information with this update? Your post title is confusing, mentioning quick pick, which is a retailer terminal function. But yet you are again asking about the construction of the Smartplay ball draw machine? Just to fan the flames: I can think of many ways to rig the MM and PB ball draw machines. And I'm sure any competent magician could rig a machine like the those to spit out any

Stores with past Powerball winners lure crowdsNews Story
Ticketholders aren't the only ones who benefit from a win like the one expected in Wednesday's Powerball drawing, estimated at $425 million so far. Stores known for selling winning tickets also see their business pick up as superstitious dreamers pour in, hoping luck will strike again. The jackpot for Wednesday's drawing would fetch a single winner a lump-sum payment after taxes of about $244.7 million. While not close to the record $590.5 million Powerball jackpot won by a Florida woman in M

When you are in a slump/losing streak how do you change things up?Reply
You're not alone shyguitar... its been said here many times before by others... If you're expecting to win decent prizes, you'll most likely be very disappointed. If you feel you're losing too much, too often... take a break or at least cut back. While there are some things you can do to improve your odds with scratchers, IMO... it all comes down to dumb luck in the end on those higher tier prizes. Those towns and stores you've been trolling and coming up dry at... the day you quit that t

Tickets in my area are still pretty good I think. I had some good luck today at my local giant store. Put $20 in the machine and won $100 on the new wheel of fortune no.35 And I hit $100 on the new double match game. No.026 Also got the pyramid on the $3 ticket for $20. The 2 other $5 tickets lost. I figured I would quit while ahead at that point. Good luck.everyone!!

Michigan Lottery puts Internet ticket sales on holdNews Story
The Michigan Lottery is indefinitely halting plans to sell tickets and offer games on the Internet after skeptical lawmakers blocked funding to launch an online lottery in early 2014. Plans for an iLottery system have been suspended so that the Lottery may further evaluate the program, lottery spokeswoman Andi Brancato told The Associated Press Tuesday, declining further comment. Gov. Rick Snyder asked for nearly $3.4 million in the next state budget to implement the iLottery as a way to

Are there any stats that show % of QP Jackpot winners over non-QP for PB/MM?Reply
accesscapital, Are they kidding me..Did any PB drawing ever generate the maximum ball number of 12. Are you saying that lotteries should filter their Quick Picks? For example, should they program the QP ticket generators to disallow any set with a max number less than some specified amount? If they did this, wouldn't they also have to reject drawings meeting the rejection criteria? Otherwise, I suspect you would be very unhappy if 03-06-07-09-12 PB 10 was drawn when you bought your Q

Should Gloria Share With Mindy?Reply
There is no guarantee that the person who let Gloria cut in line would win. Maybe Gloria doesn't play the lottery and the next person behind her who did play win the JP. Or, depending on how the Random Number generator works in Florida, Gloria may have not gotten the winning numbers. I believe that some states store a predetermined amount of QPs in the store's lottery machine waiting to be taken. I know this because in one state I used to live, a friend of mine who worked at a liquor store sh
