Well I think I'm done playing for awhile. Had my butt handed to me about a week ago (and I mean handed) and don't really have a desire to play on my own.
Issue was I went to Archer which must be the deadest place for GRT in all of the State of FL
Went to Save-A-Lot. Working on winnings from previous trips all went down the drain. #008-014 were ALL losers. #15 was a $40 winner. Had no stomach to keep going at the roll there and switched to Archer Kanagroo Station next to Sav-A-Lot. (-120)
Kangaroo had 2 rolls. Played the first one starting with #023. #023-027 were ALL Losers and #028 was a $40. Finished the roll and #029 was a loser.
(-220)
Played the other roll #013 and it was a $20 winner. Left.
Then went to the Chevron on 122 SW & Archer. Played Ticket #013. It was $50. But still down $190.
Headed to Shell at 75th/ARcher. Played #002. It was for $20, left.
Last stop was Publix at 75th/Archer. Long Story short of the 2 rolls in the vending and behind the counter, I scratched 13 tickets with 10 losers, 2 $20 winners and 1 $30 winner. Needless to say I was pi$$ed. Doubled my losses (not my winnings and ended up down $380.
So much of my theory of playing around and changing rolls until I find a winner. Doesn't work when they throw 6-7 losers consecutively and that happens at more than 1 place.
So I played no more until my mom's birthday this week. Got 1 GRT #029, 1 FF #003, 1 $10 Monop #032?, 1 Bring on the Bens #?, 2 ChocCov7's, 1 Trip Cash, and 1 Holiday Delight for $61 Total. She won $2 on the HD Ticket and $25 on FF, the rest were losers.
My mom only buys $1/$2 tickets. She's had a terrible losing streak with the $1 tickets recently so she got 3 tickets of the $2 Monopoly Game (#143-#145). #143 was for $20 and she scratched that one first and I was sure the next two would be losers. But #144 had a Train and she won $4. And then #145 was a $2 even winner. So she won $26, almost has much as she won playing $6 as she did on her birthday when I spent $61.
The lottery sucks. /sarc
