Scratch Off StrategyReply
Great tip, thanks! I'm gonna look into those patterns here in the FLA. I don't know what it's like in PA, but here you don't get to look over a ticket before you buy it. You can either get them from a vending machine that spits 'em out or an annoyed clerk who's usually in a rush. You don't really get a chance to ask for the last one on the roll or the one with the special marks on the bottom.

What was your biggest single prize?Reply
I won $200 twice on scratch tickets. One was a $5 and the other was a $20 ticket. Both were last year. the $5 ticket I got at a lottery vending machine in a stop and shop supermarket. I just picked any random ticket and I got the $200 winner. On the $20 dollar ticket, I was changing the trash bags at my job and saw 2 of the losing $20 billion dollar bonanza tickets which were consecutive tickets. I knew that there was a 1 in 2.99 odds of winning on those, so I asked the clerk which number was ne

PA Lottery Pay Day Ticket. Has anyone else had this happen?Reply
I don't know much about vending machines. I'm not sure who stocks them. (I assume the retailer) Maybe the store didn't validate the book of tickets before stocking the machine? That or a computer glitch may be the cause. Of course a computer glitch could mean anything. I hope you are able to collect. If not... At least you didn't win $100 or more. That would be a tough pill to swollow.

Listen to peopleReply
Don't beat yourself up too hard...it would have only netted you less than $500 after taxes (assuming you do pay taxes) on a $1 straight bet win. But on the real, I agree with the others...why ask someone if you don't follow through and play the numbers...hell I know most people blow a few dollars on name your addiction (i.e. smokes, liquor, beer, pop, any kind of vending machine product) most days so $1 would not be missed by most. Now if in the future you ask someone for 6 numbers to play for M

I used to deliver lottery magazines. NY Lottery New$ folded at the end of 2001. Now I work at a supermarket that sells most NY online games, and has a ticket vending machine.

Playing every ticket from a machine.Reply
I took the Vending Machine Challenge for a typical CA Scratchers machine. It wasn't as bad as I thought, was sure I'd get less than 50% back, but made back 80%, $53 on $66 spent.(our CA scratch games are puny compared to East coast) Playing just 1 ticket of a game is not usually a good idea, so I would normally never play this way. I also hardly ever play the smaller $1, $2, or $3 games, this is probably the first time this year. I especially avoid extended play games like crossword and bingo
