Consecutive winning ticketsReply
I think if I had answered this poll yesterday, I would have said just one, but now I can say two. For those that haven't read it elsewhere, I won $150 on one ticket, and $10 on the next. The nice thing is that the $10 paid for both tickets, so that the $150 was pure profit. Not another big win, but icing on the cake.

$750,000 Winner - Jingle Jumbo Bucks - 2010Reply
Earlier this week I bought 4 Jingle Jumbo Bucks and was lucky enough to actually see the jingle bells! It was the first time I had won more than $40 on the srcatch off game and I was really excited. I have won on ticket number 22, but it was another game and it was not a big win and I usually by 4-5 tickets (sometimes more) from a particular store that I have had some luck with.

Scratch Off StrategyReply
I actually tried the back-to-back winner strategy. Since #018 on the $20 Million Dollar Cash Fever was a $200 winner, I bought another from the same roll and it happened to be the next ticket, #019. Not another big winner, but it did win $20.

What is the Highest you won off Instants??Reply
I won $1,000 3 days in a row on a $10 Jumbo buck and $10 extreme green tickets. I have won $500 and $250. Still waiting on my big win.

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
Thanks, dr65! Very impressive to win $100 on a $1 ticket! I've found Platinum Crossword ($5) to be a big dud. I've won like once out of ten times. Both #57 and #59 lost tonight. Too bad someone got #58 before I did; it might have won. Again, I NEVER win on the last ticket, and rarely on the next to last. On $1,000 a Week for Life, I got a $10 on #147. The beginning of the roll on the new Diamond Mine ($3) ticket was good today - $6 on #000, and $15 on #002. I'm taking a break from Big W

Losing Massachusetts scratch ticketsReply
I'd imagine you could use them for a tax write-off, if you can prove that they were purchased that year. I know a few people who have done that to offset a big win. I think you'd need to mail them in with your tax form.

I think I got ripped offReply
I hate to say this, but it does sound like you were short changed by the clerk and her coworker. If so, I hope karma does a payback times 1,000 on them. I look forward to hearing about a big win from you.

Which one has more Fans/Players: Scratchoffs or ball lotteries??Reply
Thanks dr and I hope we can all be big winners someday..Me first of course..:)..I win more by mistake then on purpose..Onece I was at the OTB and told the clerk to box me the 38 exacta twice in a later race..I diden't look at the tickets and when I got home and looked at them I was upset to find out it was the wrong race..The race she punched the 38 paid 335.00 and I hade it twice.,.I always say Being lucky is better then being good when it comes to gambling ..

2nd Chance DrawingsReply
That's a free million. I have to be honest. I'm bored with Play it AGAIN but I guess it's because all the big winners come from the much larger cities in Tennessee. I should probably change my address to Nashville or Memphis inorder to win a prize.
