Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Won $40 from a publix vending machine on gold rush and $10 from shell gas station on $5000 a week for life. I'm trying to luck out on the $200,000 a year for life since billion dollar blockbuster is kaput. Having a hard time finding that ticket as well since lottery website claims both 5 prizes left for 200,000 50,000 a year for life. BTW how do i share pics of my tickets?

Do you buy mistake tickets??Reply
I always do; I just KNOW if I didn't, someone else would win with the ticket. I don't even get annoyed about it unless the clerk says You didn't say multiplier! or blames it on the machine.

PowerBall Drawing is at 8:59 My TimeReply
I don't think our vending machines stop selling tickets. I've bought them at 1am, and it assigns the ticket to what time/day you hit the machine. Not sure about the counter machines.

Should I buy 5 QP in one ticket or 5 QP in 5 separate tickets?Reply
With a computer PRNG, you could say the numbers generated ARE in effect predetermined (by algorithm) and not truly random, if you know the starting conditions. What are the starting conditions? Does it include the exact microsecond when the ticket is purchased? They'd have to have some difference between terminals otherwise that would stick out like a sore thumb as poor results. If the location of the terminals plays a role, wouldn't it make it more like scratchers? With scrat

Playing every ticket from a machine.Reply
I did the challenge last night here in FL. I spent $120 and got back $110...The best pay-off were from the $20 and $10 tickets (Flamingo and 50X the Cash). Technically I am not down $10 as I had $2 left from the $120 spent in the machine so I use the last $2 on a Powerball ticket that vending machines here in FL sell too.

What happens if a Canadian wins the PB?Reply
I saw a number of people trying to figure out how to use one of those lottery machines at Giant (supermarket). I never see anyone using it normally. I bet it was the first time they played. Guess they figure if a ticket from a machine in Richmond, VA can win, why not somewhere else in VA. PB fever!

Is everyone playing the lottery in hopes of being able to retire, what are your reasons for playing?Reply
Once I went to an ATM machine and saw a discarded withdrawal slip with his posted balance in the 6 digits. I want to experience the same and I think the Lotto is my ticket.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Just saw the Twisted ticket. OMG PA.. How many people won't know they won cause it isn't in a row. It is like a casino slot machine. WOW

Georgia $20 100x the MoneyReply
Okay, I went to a vending machine and broke down and bought 2 tickets, #000 and #001. I won nothing on #001 and then won $500 (100x symbol $5.00) on the #000 ticket. Good luck to you!

Your story is exactly the reason I mostly buy from a machine in high frequented areas. It'd be almost impossible for a clerk to ticket watch that as most people get their scratchers from the machine and just walk away. I feel I have just as much chance as anyone buying from there. Don't know if your state has machines, but that might be a good option for you. I certainly wouldn't go back to that store you had the bad experience at and purchase them anymore.
