Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Chances are good that somewhere, sometime, someone will win the big one on 022. I doubt, though, it'll be me. 022 hates me. That's okay because I've got some numbers that like me. In the vending machine, of course, we can't see what'll be spit out next...we have to buy one then go from there. Anytime that 022 comes out, I get a sinking feeling. Just once out of so many times, it's been more than zilch. We can see the ticket numbers if the tickets are in a display case or under th

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Matt...I've come to the conclusion that lopping off a zero on that $20 and playing just the $2 ticket is better than sinking $20 into one ticket. I've tried quite a few in my time and sure, there are winners on the higher tickets $10 $20 $25 but when you can catch a $1 or $2 ticket in a string of 10/20 or 5/10 and win $100, they are a lot better than buying 2 or 3 $20 tickets and winning nothing. Today, just a minor example...Bankroll ($2) - ticket number 123 - won $20 Nothing big but m

Just saw a guyReply

You put your money in with anticipation of winning something big and BAM! Nada. You lost $20. Little do you know, another guy was watching you watch that guy and when you leave, he hopes you didn't buy his winner and he buys the next one..he scratches his...BAM! Nada again!

I think I got ripped offReply
No, you don't have to enter the amount that you win, the machine does all that for you. The only people that are ripping the people off in Virginia lottery scratch games are the VIRGINIA LOTTERY OFFICIALS. If you will check the web site on the Va. scratch tickets, you will find that the unclaimed prizes never change from week to week on the $20.00 tickets. The only amounts that are won are a break even $20.00 if you are lucky enough to get $20.00 out of three or four $20.00 tickets. They s

I saw, I bought, I scratched, I lost.
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but what the heck....its on my mind now. I was just at the grocery store buying bottled water when I glanced over at the lottery scratcher machine and said in my head, ok.....you know your holding my winning scratch ticket, I know your holding my winning scratch ticket....so why don't you just meet me half way...I'll give you the money......and you give me more money...agree? After my water purchase, I started over to the machine, but noticed
