  That's actually pretty crazy. A $30 ticket with no higher than $500 prize. Yeah, I always like to buy the first ticket if I see or the last. So I kind of know what youre saying. We have 1 $10 with top prize of $600, 2 $5 tickets one with $500 and one with $250, but each book doesn't have a top prize. We had a $2 one a while back with top prize of $200. So now they added $50 to the prize and now charge $5 lol. Yeah congrats good job you know. Lucky you.

  Honestly I didn't get lucky at all. I won right at EV. I won very close to what I should have.

   

  Yes it was funny with this being a $30 ticket with no big claimer prizes and 10 to 1 odds of winning also. I heard many people make comments about this being the worst game ever. Lol this game right here was the best scratcher ticket in any state, ever. It was in fact, a guaranteed winner long term playing it the right way.

  Spent $270, Got back $600. Result + $330

  I have told them and no one believes it. Every gambler claims to win or I have just been getting lucky and I will soon lose it back. No one can believe there is a lottery scratcher game that can easily be beaten consistently. Which I guess I would understand their skepticism. I know a guy who hit a $50,000 winners and his was taxed $12,000 on it. I don't know exactly how much I won but I will be reporting $50,000 and just paying whatever. I mean I'm not going to waste the money or hide it. It's going to stay in my account so they are going to know anyway.

  Open up a tiaa account.  Invest in stocks like corona and a couple other ones.  Not saying take a major risk,  however ,  make your winnings work for you.

  Yeah I don't know what I'm going to do. Right now it's in my bank account. I'm fine with it just sitting there for now, not sure how much taxes I will owe. Won another $330 profit this morning so there are still new packs here and there but for the most part it's done. I have been told this game won't be back at least not in it's current form.

  I might as well post it since it's over and Cape Scratcher pretty much figured it out.

  This game was 30 cards per book. Every pack had EXACTLY one $500 and two $100 winners. Every pack had that - so a book cost $900 and had $700 in winners. I was getting up very early and looking for new packs. Pretty much every place changes out new packs at the open of business so if a pack sold out at 2 pm it would be replaced the following morning before opening. After work, I would stop by stores looking for sold out packs so I new to hit that in the morning. The machine tells you how many tickets are left so I wanted to.play with 30 tickets left (full pack) but I would also play if 28 or 29 left and surprisingly only got burned 1 time doing that. I would stop by stores before work from 6am-8am and if a pack was empty the night before it would almost always have the full 30 tickets that early in the morning. I always had enough cash on me to buy tickets and just scan them immediately and keep doing so until I got the $500 winner and then quit.

  This resulted in winning about 80% of packs. The average location of the $500 is 15.5 tickets which cost $465 and returned $600 because at 15.5 tickets you would also get one $100 winner. My belief from day 1 was a new pack had + EV Of $135. That turned out to be very close and I played a good 400 packs over the last 4 months. A few times the $500 was the very last ticket resulting in a loss of $200. That was the max loss. A few times it was also ticket #1 resulting in a win of $470. About 46% of the time I would win $200 or higher. Only 3.3% of the time I lost $200. If you find this game with exact scenario in ur state, play it. No need to test the numbers to see if I'm right, I have been real life testing this all of 2020 and trust me I won a lot of money. Yes I have to pay $12,000 or so in taxes, I'm not getting greedy and risking trouble. I thought soon after the game release everyone would figure it out and be "chasing the $500", the reality is only one other person figured it out. When I would go cash in $500s more than a few times the cashier commented that me and this other guy always have 3-4-5 $500 winners a day and no one else ever cashes a $500. So there you have it and it's not BS. It's true and it resulted in huge wins. I don't know exactly how much I profited- but I will be reporting it so as to avoid trouble. That's why I post this freely.

  Hi spencerjames, thanks for sharing and for sure if every book without fail had $700 return spread across 2 $100s and 1 $500 it would be, like you more or less described, akin to shooting fish in a barrel.  I'm surprised the WA lotto ordered books like that.  If such a game were in FL I doubt each book would have such a consistent win profile.  Closest game we have like that is the $10 Madness, which has top prize of $500 but many more prize levels.  The $500 odds are listed at 1/136 but I know they aren't distributed evenly since @skeptic has won more than one in a single book of 60 tickets (5 or 6 apart within the same book if I recall correctly).  We had another $10 Blowout game with prizes at only the $50, $100, and $500 levels, but $500 prize odds were pretty steep (if I recall correctly about 1 in 1,000.  That game was listed odds of 1/8.9 or so but if I recall correctly some folks ran into brutal books of $250 or so in return.

  Is the book prize structure on your favored game there posted somewhere on the WA lotto site?...or perhaps you stumbled across it after buying a book or too?

  Either way again much congrats!

  Thanks for the read. I was skeptical at first thinking you found some special symbol on the artwork of winning tickets. Even then I thought you would have to wait for all the losers and then pounce.. If PA had a pack like you described, I would be doing the same thing you would. I am close with a store owner, so I would be able to pick threw them and then stop.  Question about pack recipe. Are you saying Washington State posts that there is a $500 and 2-$100's per pack on this game? If so that is crazy. PA has guaranteed returns on their packs, but nothing with any guarantee $500 per pack on any denomination of game.

  Hahahaha!

   

  That is the <snip> man! When read the first post I'm like yeah bull<snip> you're up 50,000 with a system. Aren't we all....

   

  Then I looked at the prize structure....<snip>!!! Never have I seen a $30 game anything like it. 1 in 30 to win $500, and there's 30 tickets a roll too?

   

  So easy to see how you could do so well with a game like this. I always calculate how the rolls should payback too, but unfortunately scratchers suck over here in VA...nothing like that game. I don't play scratchers often but for a game like that I <snip> sure would chase all day.

  You're out there making real money meanwhile the average moron is playing the other $30 games throwing cash away trying to win the $2 million annuity that they'll never get.

   

  Props man, enjoy the well earned money and please use it wisely. Don't gamble it away.

  I'm not sure if it's posted on the website but when this ticket first came out they promoted it heavily "A $500 winner in every pack". That was the only thing this ticket had going for it. It was a $30 card with 10 to 1 odds and no claimer prizes. Most players thought this game was the worst ever. And for those who did not realize the math it was a horrible game. There were 988,770 tickets which at 30 per pack came out to 32,959 packs. There were 32,959 $500 winners. I chased down at least 400 packs from ticket #1 ( ticket #029 ) until I got the $500 and never once was there not a $500 winner.

  Yeah man thank you and you're right the other $30 paytable in our state is impossible to beat long term unless you hit one of the 2 top prizesm Odds almost a million to 1 on a $30 ticket.

  I expected everybody would be "chasing the $500", but pretty much no one realized it. Or maybe some people just don't want to chance losing $200 because yes there were 12-15 times the $500 winner was the dead last ticket and that's a $200 loss. I always just shook it off because long run its a huge +EV game using my strategy. One day last week, I played 3 packs before work. First pack it hit on ticket #28 ( 2nd ticket ) = +$440,  next pack ticket #25 (5th ticket) = +$350, last pack ticket 29 (1st ticket) = +$470. So yeah just had to shake off the packs where I had to buy almost the whole pack and had to take a loss. It happened 20% of packs.

  Hi Spencer,

   

  Go to https://postimages.org/

   

  Upload your image. Click "direct image URL" and where it says "insert/edit image" you'll paste that direct image URL to post the image.

  Thanks. I missed this reply. I have 20-25 $500 winners laying around (already cashed ). I will see if I can figure it out.

  I pretty much ended up leaving the packs at the grocery store offices alone. Safeway and Albertsons offices open at like 9 so I was at work. Fred Meyer was hit or miss as they kept changing times due to the virus. It was also too hard to predict when they put in new packs. The machines were changed out before morning opening but at the office they would just put out a new pack whenever. Also I would have to go through the line repeatedly or buy 3 or 4 at a time which I didn't want to do. So I pretty much just played the machines. I liked to bring $50s, and $20s so once I hit the $500 my remaining balance wouldn't be too high. If I had a $10 or $15 balance left I would just buy some other tickets knowing I'm probably going to lose half the balance. The only place I played a lot without machines was 7 11

  Hi spencerjames, I see a partial ticket image (most of the ticket though) with 5 $100 win spots...is that what you were looking to post?  Either way an image is visible to me.

  Yeah I didn't think it worked because I couldn't see the ticket at first but now I do. Just trying to learn how to post images here. It's very different than any other site I use
