They are the $30 Golden Ticket. I stashed winnings from my usual $5 ticket wins, and when I had a good stockpile, I started buying some 10-dollar tickets here and there. That's what I won my $1000 on.<br /><br />It's a crushing blow if the $30 is a loser. I know there are 20 tickets on a roll, and one $100 winner per roll. Overall, each roll has 7 winners. Odds are 1 in 2.83, I think, of getting a winner. The lowest winner is $30. Anything over the $100 winner is random and rare.<br /><br />I pay attention to the number on my tickets. That $200 winner was ticket number 010. So I won't buy one at that store until they are past 019, on a new book. I just try to improve my odds like that. Most places will tell you what number the next ticket is. It's been working. When it doesn't, I'll go back to the five-dollar tickets for a while.<br /><br />Then again, sometimes I just have a hunch where I want to go and buy a specific ticket.<br /><br />As my brother-in-law the ex-mayor pointed out, I do way better on the scratchers than I do at the casino.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-39108162259674886092017-04-19T09:22:59.402-05:002017-04-19T09:22:59.402-05:00Yes.
