I AM ADDICTED TO SCRATCHIES
I've been on a mission/binge. Bought $1000's of instant lottery tickets in the last week. Even bought several 'PACKS' before they were opened. It's $300 for a pack, on average you get back about half. A couple of packs I've gotten like $250 back and even one pack made like $40. The question is has anyone here ever hit the grand prize for a particular game? Do you know anyone who hit the big one? The amounts you can win from instants isn't enough to change your life meaningfully, but sure would give breathing room. I live NJ so their's about 50 games to choose from. I go to their website to see which ones still have grand prizes remaining and only $5 and $10 tickets with grands prizes ranging from 100k to 1 mil are the ones I buy.. Obviously 1mil would change my life for a long time but that's the $10 ticket. Some of them are so confusing and involve matching numerous numbers, I am sure I've thrown out winners, just hope they weren't the biggies

Dude, next time a lightning storm comes around grab a scrath ticket, climb up some kinda big metal tower, sit on top and scratch, you'll probably hit a big one then get killed by lightning at the same time.

Lottery scratch tickets are the worst gamble going, you will always lose, getting hit by lighning is a far greater average.

All I know is that I never seem to win shit playing the Win For Life scratch offs... I think the game is rigged... I never even seem to win my $3 back!

That's what i say in the original post. Their a games out their with no grand prizes left dicking peopl left and right. I make sure to buy only one's with grand prizes left. I'v played so many of certain games I even know the nuances. Such as if you win more than once on a ticket no grand prize comming because it would put you over the prize limit for a ticket, or things like certain numbers match all the time so it won't hit big, just like the mickyD's monoply game with hard properties to get, but backwards....you still have to cash'em so you can buy more though.

OP I seriously hope you win big so you never have to play the sorry ass things again. I myself have wasted too much money on that shit. I guess when lady luck strikes is anyones guess.

Did you know they have a 3 letter code on all tickets scattered across the game, after scratched they are exposed.

$2 = T W O
$100 = H O N
etc. etc

You can google 3 letter winning codes for your state.


Anyways MAY luck be with you.
